Yes. And it is a great idea for us to review sub EQ's. I have the Rives PARC in my possession which I plan on reviewing this August. Stay tuned.

Cool UMD I look forward and do have some ideas you may be able to help out with regarding your background. Tom, I don't think I got your email. I get over 1000 emails/day (95% spam) and yours was likely filtered by my spam program unfortunately. Please resend. I am working at Cable...

Rob why would you get an improvement using 5" speaker wire as opposed to original jumpers? It most likelyhood the DC resistance of the cable is higher (still negligible) than the jumpers themselve. Unless the jumpers are corroded or not making good contact with the binding posts, whats the...

UMD; Haha join the club. Did you see my articles on this? Audioquest DBS Audioquest FAQ BTW we out rank them at their own game on the search engines as well ;) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&q=audioquest+cable...

Well designed cables should be indistinguishable sonically regardless if they cost $5/ea or $5000. Beyond a very minimal price point you are paying solely for cosmetics and hopefully nice compression style terminations. IMO slapping a battery on a cable and marketing it as a scientific...

Doc; You do have a valid concern, however remember that the EQ is only connected to the subwoofer channel. Thus the induced noise if any, is filtered out from the sub crossover and natural rolloff of the driver. Its not going to affect your main channels in any way.

Thats great news. Looks like we started a trend with our cable debunking. Did they actually do any measurements or analysis? I asked Audioquest nearly a half dozen times for cable samples to measure and they refused. I would love to measure those cables with batteries on them. Heck I will...

Why do you feel compelled to biwire? The Flexygy 6 already has low resistance to begin with.

One of our forum members Jeff Lawson was so enamored with the results he achieved using the Rives Test CD 2 to calibrate his systems bass response (particularly the subwoofer) that he asked to write an article for us on this topic. In it you will find calibration tips for subwoofer placement...

Just be patient. When the time is right we will unleash all the details and provide the most detailed coverage on this product.

Unregistered, seems like you let the cat out of the bag. Shame on you :p

In one defense to Bose. They do have an amazing engineering team and research facility that is top notch. Sadly very little of that research trickles down to their consumer products.

Zip; It could be worse you know. Some cable companies enjoy charging in excess of $4k for speaker cables with a battery attached to them. I say shame on the companies that do this, the dealers that promote it, and the consumers whom don't research it enough before buying it!

Sure, here is our opinion on then: Aperion Audio Powered Towers Review

Rex; The latter response is with respect to tighter tolerances thus why the bandwidth is more limited. In other words from 60Hz to 20kHz the spec is within +-3dB tolerance meaning the total variance within that bandwidth cannot exceed 6dB total. The former response of 30Hz to 50kHz +-6dB...

Bruzios, who is feeding you these rules of thumbs? 1) Separates are NOT always better than flagship receivers. In fact, in most cases separates fall short when being compared to receivers within the same price class. 2) Quality cables need NOT be expensive. In fact if you are looking...

Rex; Give Ray a call at (909) 794-6257. He has a very impressive set-up of the RBH Signature T2 system in his showroom that you should go take a listen too.

No it just means I was too lazy to update it. I will be sending the Z9 back soon so until I get a replacement, I will revert back to the Denon AVR-5803. A few companies want me to review their separates solutions but I am swamped right now so it may have to wait. For now the AVR-5803 will be...

How about discussing measurement techniques for measuring Rs, Ls and Cp for a speaker cable. Can you discuss the differences of using Cp vs Cs measurment technique for measuring the open circuit capacitance of a speaker cable? How can one more accurately measure Ls at frequencies below...

Agreed O'Shag. I was just listening to my headphones on the Z9 tonight and was impressed with the sonic performance. Silent Cinema is a winner. I will miss this piece when I send it back shortly :( Until the next Yamaha flagship graces my system I will also miss the DSP processing.
