<font color='#000000'>Ok I just got an email from Yamaha Engineering.  Here is the final answer. Bottom Line:  The Yamaha RX-V2400 does NOT support 9.1 just like others here and myself originally suspected. Q: When engaged in a DSP mode, using an external amp connected to the preouts for...

<font color='#000000'>Hi Ross; Thanks for your correspondence. &nbsp;To simply things, lets leave out THX modes for the moment. &nbsp;Yes I agree, you cannot enter a THX mode when engaged in a Yamaha DSP. My past experience with Yamaha receivers and DSP is that they do not apply DSP signals to...

<font color='#000000'>Folks; Unfortunately I won't be able to reintegrate the RX-V2400 into one of my reference systems for at least a few weeks. &nbsp;Too slammed right now! Yamaha did state that the unit will work in 9.1 with an external amp. &nbsp;I didn't believe it did before they told...

<font color='#000000'>Assuming both are identical gauge and geometry, I would prefer stranded for two reasons: 1) &nbsp;More flexible 2) &nbsp;Less AC resistance at high frequencies For more details, check our our Cable Info Center...

<font color='#000000'>Not a bad idea. &nbsp;How about we start this topic as a subject in one of the existing forums and see where it goes? &nbsp;Our A/V forums seem the most active. &nbsp;I will add a link there. Synergy Forum</font>

<font color='#000000'>This is a place where everyone can discuss what components work well together based on their listening experiences. &nbsp;If this forum becomes active enough, we will dedicate a permanent forum for it.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Thanks Rip, I got that. &nbsp;Too bad you're not the author &nbsp;I would love to add those articles to our cable data base. &nbsp;Perhaps I will at least link to your website. &nbsp;You have great content there!</font>

<font color='#000000'>Hi Roger; Thanks for your inputs to Steve's review regarding calibration levels. &nbsp;I believe Steve was using the standard internal test tones in the RDC-7 and was not engaged in THX modes when calibrating his set-up. &nbsp;Thus correct me if I am wrong, but I believe...

<font color='#000000'>Certainly if one were to spend $4K on a dedicated two channel preamp and power amp, the fidelity for this purpose could potentially be better than a mega receiver. The mega receiver is designed to excel in all modes of operation, not necessarily to outperform dedicated...

<font color='#000000'>Zipper; Despite the power claims of both receivers, it is likely the 3300 has a bigger power supply given its 14lbs more weight. &nbsp;Thus when the receiver is taxed to deliver power to more than one channel, it is likely the 3300 would have more headroom to do it.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Peter; I tend to agree with you. &nbsp;I however came from the opposite end of the spectrum then you. &nbsp;I started assembling my HT system with quality separates nearly 4 years ago. &nbsp;I have since then sold all of them off in favor of a super receiver for two...

<font color='#000000'>I myself find it very interesting that Stereophile magazine expends quite an effort to measure electronics and loudspeaker performance, but never measures cables. &nbsp;Cables are the easiest things to measure in comparision and would certainly add more credibility to their...

<font color='#000000'>Rip; I really love this article. &nbsp;Are you the author? &nbsp;If so, perhaps you would be interested in republishing it on Audioholics? http://bruce.coppola.name/audio/TenAudioLies.pdf</font>

<font color='#000000'>I missed Denon Jeff at CES during our scheduled appointment. &nbsp;However, I emailed him a blank 2003 Checklist so we can objectively compare and evaluate its feature set.</font>

<font color='#000000'>George; We are only 1/3 of the way through posting all of our CES coverage. &nbsp;We didn't spend much time with Denon but we do have some cool pics to show.</font>

<font color='#000000'>The low power rating from HT Magazine was a result of the receiver entering self protection mode. &nbsp;This is not a real world test as music and movies do not tax all channels simultaneously at full power. &nbsp;Never did I find the RX-V2400 running out of gas for real...

<font color='#000000'>ATTN Audioholics; We redid some of our measurements in the 0IRE setting as well as the +7.5IRE (With careful tweaking of our Display) and found a much improved contrast ratio. Please review our updated article: Denon DVD-5900 Contrast Bug or Configuration We apologize...

<font color='#000000'>Donato; Thanks for your feedback. &nbsp;You are correct, this player is a bit complicated to set up properly. &nbsp;Until recently we weren't aware of the 0/+7.5IRE setting in the Pic Adj menu. &nbsp;It was assumed that Black Level &quot;Normal/Enhanced&quot; performed...

<font color='#000000'>Rip; You have touched upon these topics quite nicely and I wholeheartedly agree with many of the points you have raised. &nbsp;This is why we often frown on doing product comparisions namely with amplifiers because to do them correctly involves too much difficulty in set...

<font color='#000000'>I agree with you the checksheet does not necessarily indicate overall fidelity.  However, if a product lacks the key features listed (for example bass management options, and channel trim set ups) then it is unlikely an accurate home theater setup can be achieved.  The...
