<font color='#000000'>Bruce; I like what you are saying.  I wrote that article long ago and its in need of a major revamp.  My time is limited tonight, but perhaps we can exchange emails and if you are interested, assist me in updating the article based on your feedback and the current trends...

<font color='#000000'>Just my quick two cents regarding my experience with both formats so far.  I feel from a technical standpoint, DVD-A has a slight, but possibly inaudible edge over SACD which I will not delve into in this short forum response.   From implementation standpoint, all of the...

<font color='#000000'>You are correct, and I was actually surprised by those comments that Dr. Howard Johnson made at the end of that FAQ. &nbsp;However I reprinted exactly what he sent me. Impedance matching for speaker cables given the typical lengths makes no sense. &nbsp;To consider...

<font color='#000000'>3dB; I kept my modeling to simple lumped paramaters given the frequencies we were dealing with and made no attempt to do any transmission line or distributed modeling. &nbsp;Again, we are dealing with audio. &nbsp;I only extended my measurements past 100kHz to demonstrate...

<font color='#000000'>Hi 3dB; I appreciate your feedback. &nbsp;I think you missed the points of my articles. &nbsp;In many places I explicitely state that skin effect is a non issue for audio frequencies, though it is barely measurable at 20kHz and starts being more noticeable above 50kHz...

<font color='#000000'>Bruce; Very interesting. &nbsp;Perhaps I will contact them and see if they can send us an evaluation kit. &nbsp;I have many room modes and acoustical anomalies I would love to categorize and eliminate. &nbsp;Thanks for the link.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Bob; The proof is in the pudding. &nbsp;Here you go. Speaker Cable Face Off There will be many others to follow as we are just beginning &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Guys, normally I don't interject on our forums as I feel people contributing on our forums don't need constant babysitters to moderate like some other audio forums. &nbsp;However, when personal attacks take over the actual discussion, I feel it is appropriate to interject...

<font color='#000000'>Bruce; As far as I know, the DVI protocols have not yet been standardized, so I don't expect much out of these sub $300 DVI players. &nbsp;At that price point, something has to give (IE Power Supply, DAC's, etc). &nbsp;We all learned this last year with Apex's feeble...

<font color='#000000'>Brent; If I may offer my 2cents here for what its worth. The Yamaha is absolutely stellar as a home theater AV Receiver in 7 channel. &nbsp;The added front effects channels are truly missed since I sent it back to Yamaha. &nbsp;However, most of the DSP modes are not ideal...

<font color='#000000'>****************Quick Update ************ So far &nbsp;I am more than impressed with the Denon AVR-5803 and DVD 2900 combo. &nbsp;This is about the best sounding receiver I ever had the fortune of reviewing and the best sounding and highest quality DVD player in my...

<font color='#000000'>Good news for all fellow Audioholics! &nbsp;My wife just informed me that two boxes from Denon showed up today at our front door: 1) Denon AVR-5803 2) Denon DVD-2900 We have been waiting quite some time to review these products and are looking forward &nbsp; Given the...

<font color='#000000'>Eric; Please report back on your 2900 when you have the time. &nbsp;I am very interested in this player as it does not downconvert SACD to pcm, and has full bass management and digital delay compensation out of its analog outputs for DVD-A &amp; SACD, and supposedly has an...

<font color='#000000'>Nutz; Your post does not match your name &nbsp; Thank you very much for sharing your sensible assessment with everyone here on our cable forum. &nbsp;I am quite pleased with everyones responses here. &nbsp;It seems that many audio hobbyists have more sensible viewpoints...

<font color='#000000'>Ray; That is very sensible advice and I agree. &nbsp;If you get a chance, review our cable articles where we discuss important metrics of cable design. Here is one link to our Budget Guidelines for Cables Cable Budget Guidelines The bottom line is that there is really...

<font color='#000000'>Wow, quite expensive speaker cables, I couldn't imagine spending over $1000 for speaker wire! Based on the physical distance between (+) and (-) conductors of the Purenote speaker cables, I suspect inductance is higher than ordinary 12AWG Zip Cord. &nbsp; Pure Note Speaker...

<font color='#000000'>I am not sure why you think you need 300wpc into 4ohms.  Most high end multichannel amps don't even deliver that much power! If I remember correctly, DCM speakers are high efficient designs and shouldn't require that much power to get loud SPL levels in moderately large...
