Rex; It depends on your budget. Clint has found Outlaw and SVS subs to be incredible values check out his review at: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/loudspeakers/SVS_subsPB2-ISD_OutlawLFM-1_1.php

Rex; RBH doesn't sell direct unfortunately :( You should look at their Signature line if you can find a local dealer.

Actually in many cases RBH outperforms the brands you mentioned when comparing similar price points. Check out our reviews and you will see that we do believe in their product performance and value. B&W and Paradigm also make excellent products so ultimately it comes down to what you prefer...

There is a top level block diagram of the DVD-5900 located here: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/Denon_DVD-5900p2.html The DVD-5900 DAC's can support both formats natively but does go through PCM conversion to handle Bass Management and Time Alignment which is done in...

Sounds like an induced ground loop somewhere. Try connecting all components to one outlet. If that doesn't work, check cabling. Try shielded twister pair on interconnects between preamp outs to Zone2 source for biamping. If your still having hum, try to isolate if a cable box, or 3 prong...

My advice on love handles (which I need to actually practice rather than just preach) is to lower Pizza intake :) One of the driving forces behind why I engage in weightlifting is so I can still eat Pizza ;) Seriously though, a regular exercise program with weight training is essential for...

Haha John you just need to participate more to get your ranking up :) We are about to add a section to this forum that I think will become your daily hang out :) In about a month I will have the most advanced LCR meter in the industry at my disposal. A staff of engineers from that company...

Ken; They just got back to me and I updated the article by adding page2 at: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/AnthemD1p2.html

We will eventually offer this in an Audioholics membership program. Thank you. We are always stiving to improve and provide the most detailed coverage of products out there.

Wow a real active thread :rolleyes: It's good to see people take an interest in what really matters in audio ;) Here is Part IV which compares LP to CD, DVD-A and SACD

You have to assign i.link to a particular input in the Yamaha. Also, you need to ensure you have i.link enabled in the DVD-5900.

Check your preamp out to source in rca level connections. How are they configured right now?

This came at quite a surprise to me as well. It seems Outlaw has a killer sub on their hands and SVS truly deserves the reputation it has garnered.

You may wish to experiment with speaker placement, perhaps placing your main speakers more closely to back/side walls. Does your subwoofer only kick in for multi channel sources? You may wish to set all speakers to small since the B&W's don't have very low end authority to begin with, and let...

Tony; Great questions, let me try to address: Yes you can and great idea! The Z9 does run very hot, but the heat is mostly on the top of the unit near the heat sinks of the amps. The large PS caps seemed to remain fairly cool so I don't think its as much of an issue with reliability...

Warrent; I believe you are correct and this is perhaps a defficiency in the Z9 I failed to point out. Most of the time I set the scaling to pass thru since I only used it for my composite video sources. This may be fixable in firmware and I will discuss this with Yamaha. Thanks for your...

There is more to a processor than just the dac quality but it does certainly help out! Denon does a great job with layout and circuit topologies and it shows in the performance of their products. The 3805 would make a great pre/pro to use in conjunction with a great dedicated amp.

AV_Phile, we apply the same policies to the cable companies whose products we review or write about. So following your logic, you may wish to look elsewhere for cable reviews as well.

Haha, are you a Paradigm employee or a brew master :) Seriously, a # of years back I demoed a Paradigm sub and was very impressed with its performance and build quality. We will try to cover their products in the near future.
