    Yamaha RX-V995 question

    The cooling fan will only run during sustained high power output such as when your cranking a multi channel music or movie disc or running continuous power measurement tests like I often do :) If the fan isn't coming on you simply aren't taxing the unit enough to heat up for it to kick in.

    Yamaha RX-Z11 HDMI 1.3a 11.2 Channel A/V Receiver Review

    Actually the video scalar on the RX-Z11 is one of the best we've tested. Although it didn't pass all HQV tests, it did quite well for real world performance. Review samples have been hard to come by with Denon products lately. Hopefully when their done sending units to the Robb Report and...

    Pioneer bails - official word

    Clint scooped this in the article he wrote earlier in the week and we got a lot of hate mail for it. Hmm :rolleyes:

    Audioholics 10th Annual State of the CE Union Show at Disney World

    you don't have to stay at the Dolphin resort but we worked very hard to get a special rate of $195/nt and blocked off about 300 rooms. If we don't sell out all 300 rooms we have to pay for them ourselves :eek: So we hope people attending the event will take advantage of this deal. This is...

    Yamaha RX-Z11 HDMI 1.3a 11.2 Channel A/V Receiver Review

    Yes since I was feeding the signals into the preamp. Its the entire chain of the receiver. This is an excellent measurement and usually typical of mono block amp designs not 11CH receivers!

    What is quiet torture?

    I had this same problem all day yesterday using IE7. Clint told me to stop visiting porn sites :) I did virus and adware checks and produced nothing. I noticed this only happened with IE and no other browser. The only way I made it go away was to reboot my computer. We will...

    Sarah Connor

    Yes that was very confusing as well but that scene was very powerful and really added points to Dereks character. I also don't understand how the Doctor went crazy meanwhile he appears in T3 which happens after the events of this series and hes still a doctor though a bit shaken up.

    Sarah Connor

    Wasn't he the guy that checked people in at the internet cafe and the one who actually possesses the TERK? I do have one question, who is the latina girl that the Terminator chick asked if she needs to kill her now?

    XPA-5 Review

    I will be reviewing the XPA-5 after I finish up some other reviews. I just finished a nearly 20 page review of the Yamaha RX-Z11 and need a good 10-15 min break before i test another amp or receiver :)

    Yamaha RX-V863 AV Receiver Overview

    that is an excellent question and I was wondering that myself. I suspect they are NOT independent outputs since they aren't color coded but I will ask Yamaha.

    South Florida Blackout!!

    Crap I think I caused this yesterday when I was doing my power measurements of the Yamaha RX-Z11. :D Luckily I have completed all of my measurements so we should be good now.

    Denon's separates are here!

    Denon is sending me the first samples in the US shortly so if all goes well, I should also have the first "real" review out there. This of course assumes I don't tear another hernia carrying the 150lbs amp up my flight of steps :)

    Ditto on that! I spend all day restraining my NY Italian vocabulary in front of my children and business associates. I need that release on Halo and you definately don't want that on AVRANT! :eek:

    New Technology to Push 40Mbps DSL over Existing Copper Wire

    This technology is nothing new. I worked on this about 7 years ago at my former employer Paradyne but they weren't savvy enough to market it properly and get industry acceptance with the RBOC's. They have since then been bought out and their stock hovers at $1/share with no chance of ever...

    Audioholics State of the Union 08

    Well lets think about this. Right now we have 6 demo rooms with a potential of up to 8. So technically, at least 6 of us can be playing full screen if we have 6 Xbox's and ethernet in everyroom :)
