All; This thread inspired me to write this article today: The Dumbing Down of Audio

I cancelled my XM subscription after 3 months of listening to it in my car. I couldn't handle the compression and digitialized sound of vocals. I prefer FM sound quality to XM any day!

Those are the terminations I ordered through Bluejeans on preterminated cables. They offer standard Banana and locking banana's which are depicted in the review.

No you need to re-read the graph and the stuff called text below it. I was showing the intersect point between DC resistance and the wire gauge curve so people can see it is equivalent to 10AWG resistance. The AC resistance graph is adjacent to that graph in the review and noted as such...

Sounds like you are using Volume control position to gauge how loudly the receiver plays. This has no indication on receiver loudness as all receivers use different scaling in their volume controls. Usually the one that has to be cranked higher has a more precise and more gradual volume...

It's not a spec issue, its a hardware issue and its NOT upgradeable in firmware. Geez All Channels Driven Test again. READ THE STICKY THREAD on that Topic. The Amp section in 1400 is no match for the DSP A1 nor should it be, the 1400 is nearly 1/3 the price and weight :rolleyes...

Cow Dung! :)

Oh you are, my friend..... Welcome to the website whose employees never sleep! :)

Full agreed. In addition to the standard outlets every 6ft, at least according to Florida electrical code, I ran 2 dedicated 20A outlets to each home theater for future expandability. In my main theater room I have one APC S15 running half my system plugged into one dedicated line and the...

Also go have a listen to other brands. There are alot of good speakers in their price class so keep your options open.

It will NOT pass 1080p.

That is sort of a trick question. Don't go solely by an amp rating for a power conditioner. It depends on what voltage it was rated at. For example, APC rates their conditioners at 120V, 12A = 1,440VA. They will work as low as 90V and sustain over 15A of current in that condition. My...

If I am not mistaken, the NRC does their measurements in an anechoic chamber. Mark esentially mimicked an anechoic response in his room by doing a combination of nearfield measurements and scaling them appropriately to get the right output. This will be part of our new loudspeaker measurement...

I understand it wasn't you that did it. Find out the gauge of the cord (ie. 12 or 14 AWG) and buy an OEM replacement. Even Home Depot will do.

NO! I can't believe consumers sometimes. You lifted the safety ground. If you build up any static electricity and touch the chassis, you can get shocked which can be fatal to a little one. Replace that cord immediately with a 3 prong one, especially if the manufacturer warrants it use for...

NO. Use the stock power cord and replace it only if it is broken or not long enough for your application. If you replace it, make sure you use the same gauge cord or lower. Thats it!

He has been banned and in the future we will pre-qualify people's complaints before getting involved again. Lesson learned.
