    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...

    Cryo

    <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 think what has happened here is misunderstanding of word usage. &nbsp;I agree, lets just move on. On a good note, we just got word that the Sunfire Cinema III and Integra Research RDC-7 are on their way. &nbsp;Expect a review of these products within 2 or 3...

    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...

    Yamaha or Outlaw

    <font color='#000000'>Bruce, my speakers are about 87dB/1watt sensitive, 4 ohms. &nbsp;The Denon AVR-5803 and Yamaha RX-Z1 had to complaints about driving them, never shut off either. &nbsp;Dont' get me wrong, I love my pre klipsch Aragon amps and felt they delivered a bit more slam than the...

    Yamaha or Outlaw

    <font color='#000000'>Interesting Bruce seing that all of my reference speakers are 4ohm rated with medium sensitivity, yet I was able to achieve SPL levels over 100dB in a 20X18 room with vaulted ceilings with a Yamaha RX-Z1 and Denon AVR-5803.  In fact, last night I was listening to a DVD-A...

    Yamaha or Outlaw

    <font color='#000000'>Actually Bruce, I am going to have to disagree with you here. &nbsp;The separates vs Receiver choice has become much more cloudy today then just a few years ago. &nbsp;Flagship Receiver products from Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer Elite, etc usually offer far more sophisticated...

    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>

    DVD-A and DTS/DD

    <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...

    Dr. Howard Johnson Discusses Skin Effect

    <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...
