    YAMAHA RXV-2400 REVIEW

    <font color='#000000'>As always, great feedback SoftEng!  At least that mystery has been solved.  I am so accustomed to having my main speakers at 0dB reference and calibrating all other channels around that level that I forgot YPAO boosted my main speakers and calibrated from there. However, I...

    YAMAHA RXV-2400 REVIEW

    <font color='#000000'>SoftENG; Hmm I seem to remember adjusting the channel trims via EXT inputs separately from the global settings and it did not affect the global trim settings for DD/DTS. &nbsp;I know for sure the RX-Z1 did this. &nbsp;You guys are forcing me to reconnect the RX-V2400 again...

    Top Ten Signs of Cable Vendor Snake Oil

    <font color='#000000'>Endymoin; Excellent feedback. &nbsp;I too initially thought they were referring to mechanical resonance and when I realized they weren't I was appauled and thus created the resonance article. &nbsp;Mechanical resonance on terminated speaker cables is not a significant...

    Denon 5803 or Yamaha Z9

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; I will say, IMO the warmest and most musical sounding amp I ever heard Yamaha put out was the DSP-A3090. &nbsp;That integrated amp graced my system for almost 6 months, but I ultimately let it go because it lacked too many features (IE. DTS, 6CH outs, etc)...

    Denon 5803 or Yamaha Z9

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; Your statements surprise me. &nbsp;The RX-Z1 and Z9 use higher grade DAC's then the DSP-A1. &nbsp;Also, both units have more power, PLII, improved DSP modes, remotes, etc. &nbsp; While I never compared the DSP-A1 directly to the Z1 or Z9, I can tell you the...

    Denon 5803 or Yamaha Z9

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; While I agree Yamaha is king of DSP, I disagree with your declarative statement that Yamaha has a superior amp section. &nbsp;The Denon AVR-5803 has a more robust amp section than the RX-Z1. &nbsp;In fact it has the most robust amp section I ever tested in a...

    YAMAHA RXV-2400 REVIEW

    <font color='#000000'>Bill; I see where you are coming from, but don't believe the Yamaha is that sophisticated to determine that.  However, I could be wrong, thus I will pose this to them. Please also realize that due to holidays and up and coming CES show, their response may not surface...

    YAMAHA RXV-2400 REVIEW

    <font color='#000000'>Bill; I guess I am still not following you. &nbsp;Disconnect all speakers and simply max out the master volume control and read the display on your TV. &nbsp;All I was stating is that at full volume, the bar was not full. &nbsp;This is independent of any speaker connection...

    "situations where bi-wiring is just hype"

    <font color='#000000'>Gentlemen; The advantages of biwiring are minimal, but if you hear a difference than by all means go for it! &nbsp;The reduced DC resistance and inductance of paralleling two sets of wires could be advantageous. &nbsp;However, be mindful if you select high capacitance...
