<font color='#000000'>OK, I had many requests to verify operational things on the Yamaha RX-V2400 and thus I hooked my review sample back up to one of my systems to help out. 1) Please review our updated FAQ regarding 9.1 channel support, or lack thereof. &nbsp...

<font color='#000000'>Um Rip, are you sure you have the right website? &nbsp;Almost all of our reviews discuss usability, and even provide set-up tips for the products in question. &nbsp;We do our best to make measurements based on the test equipment at our disposal. &nbsp;In fact with cables...

<font color='#000000'>Audibility of different cables depends on how the particular cable metrics impact the equipment being interfaced, and the sensitivity of the listeners hearing. &nbsp; For example, high capacitance cables can cause one of two things: 1) Frequency peaking (can cause...

<font color='#000000'>This wire is included in part II. &nbsp;Incidentally it is the highest capacitance cable I have ever measured. &nbsp;Stay tuned...</font>

<font color='#000000'>Thats a great link, however the author doesn't account for complex load impedances of some speakers that may dip down to 4 ohms or less at high frequencies. &nbsp;This is why I recommend no thinner than 12AWG wire for speaker runs when high fidelity playback is concerned...

<font color='#000000'>Juan; We have been so swamped lately with CES and product reviews, etc. &nbsp;I am shooting to publish the review by end of February, first week in March. &nbsp;There now I am committed &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Use great care when biamping your speakers and using different amplifier types to ensure the levels are matched properly, especially if their gain structures are different. &nbsp;It is usually advised to use identical amplifiers when biamping, or at least ones with...

<font color='#000000'>Paul; Try setting the player to 0IRE in the &quot;Pic Adjust&quot; menu. &nbsp;The manual doesn't document this well. &nbsp;I am interested to hear your findings.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Bicho; These are kinda difficult companies to contact sometimes but we will try. &nbsp;I can tell you we are gearing up to do more video related reviews in the near future so stay tuned....</font>

<font color='#000000'>EdR; As Dan so eloquently puts, the advantage to terminating your cables is convenience. &nbsp;12AWG wire is fine, and you could certainly bi-wire your fronts to reduce DCR if you like. &nbsp; In my application where I am continually switching out loudspeakers for review...

<font color='#000000'>Maybe this will help RX-V2400 having &quot;Shut Off&quot; problems. Yamaha Receiver FAQ</font>

<font color='#000000'>My theory is this, when making a recording, the artist may choose tube mics/amps because they like the distortion profile that colors the voice/guitar sound. Great no problem there. &nbsp;I also like how a tube amp distorts guitar. However, the playback of the recording...

<font color='#000000'>I will let the measurements speak for themselves Speaker Cable Face Off I Personally I would use their 10AWG wire which costs a little more, but has lower resistance and inductance but of course I am an Audioholic and overkill is not in my vocabulary &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Rives Audio has contributed another article to Audioholics regarding room acoustics, the often forgotten, yet critical component in ones audio system. &nbsp; This article serves as an introductory of what will expand upon all facets of room acoustics and how the every day...

<font color='#000000'>I wouldn't expect a few milliohms of contact resistance to have anyt audible effect. &nbsp;I always find it amusing when exotic cable companies offer upgrades to jumpers and binding posts to stock units. &nbsp;Unless the stock units are corroded or damaged, I would just...

<font color='#000000'>Rob; If you had no speakers connected to your receiver and it still shut off, then it is likely there is something physically wrong with your unit. &nbsp;Are you sure there aren't any stray speaker wires shorting the binding posts? &nbsp;This sounds funny, but sniff the...

<font color='#000000'>Despite many of the myths that surround series networks and their acclaimed superiority over conventional parallel networks for loudspeaker design, both networks can be designed with identical transfer functions if the load impedance remains constant. Most of the claims...

<font color='#000000'>Sorry if we managed to take the &quot;fun&quot; out of this hobby for you. &nbsp;Our objectives in our cable articles is to bring back sanity to the industry where measurements, common sense, and ethics seem to have gone out the door nearly two decades ago and very few...

<font color='#000000'>Hi Pam; Having heard both the RX-Z1 and RX-V2400 I would definately give stereo performance to the RX-Z1. &nbsp;However, the purpose of this tabulated comparison is to objectively rate critical and desired features as a benchmark for future products to compare against, NOT...

<font color='#000000'>HI Steve, Thanks for your opinion and glad to see you still value and believe in your purchasing decision after reading our review. &nbsp;Obviously the negatives we listed did not affect your application. &nbsp; If you don't agree with our opinion of the product, you may...
