    Pioneer Elite VSX 47TX

    <font color='#000000'>LArkston; How do you know the Pioneer receiver is responsible for this? &nbsp;Have you compared it to your existing gear? What type of speakers are you using? &nbsp;How well treated is your room? There are many variables here and I wouldn't rule out other issues first...

    Speaker auditions

    <font color='#000000'>Bruce; I am also not a loudspeaker designer and have not researched this issues in great detail yet. &nbsp;Reversing the polarity of a driver only compensates for phase in a very limited frequency band. &nbsp;I think it is also important to discuss electrical and...

    <font color='#000000'>Cryo-Guy; I would like to see some of these companies test results. &nbsp;I have found through experience with dealing with many of these exotic cable companies that few of them have degreed staffed engineers, and even fewer of them have the proper test equipment to do...

    Speaker auditions

    <font color='#000000'>Bruce; I agree with your assessment of the Def Tech speakers.  I just also wanted to point out that there are alternative methods of achieving &quot;time alignment&quot; loudspeakers with higher than 1st order crossovers.  Bud Fried used to champion degenerative 2nd order...

    Yamaha or Outlaw

    <font color='#000000'>Bruce; I don't think its fair to compare new receivers with used separates. &nbsp;We are speaking strictly retail. &nbsp;Buying used is a great idea for money savings, but some people prefer the &quot;new&quot; appeal and the warranty that goes along with it. The true...

    Do hi-fi Power cords make a difference?

    <font color='#000000'>How bout going somewhere like parts express and buying a 14-16AWG power cord for about $20 if you worried that the cord isn't good enough. &nbsp;Filtering should be done at the line and in the product, NOT thru a power cord. &nbsp; </font>
