Congrat to AcuDefTechGuy for winning the contest prize. Please PM me your full contact info and mailing address and I will get the HDMI cable out to you. thanks to everyone for participating!

Most of the lower end Yamaha receivers (below the RX-V2700) are limited to about 1.2Vrms via the analog outputs from what I've found. I've tested many similarly priced Denon's and didn't find this limitation. I put in numerous requests to Yamaha for at least 2Vrms (10kohm) on all their...

Guys; just got off the phone with the company Pres of Emotiva. For the entire month of March, they are offering 10% off all items they have in stock. If you are considering to purchase a new amp or speakers from them, now is a good time. I hope this helps. For more info, visit...

I updated the poll by your request.

both E-core and torroid can be designed well or crappy. Just b/c one amp uses Ecore and another uses torroid doesnt make the latter better. The advantage of torroids can be reduced size and reduced E/M field radiation until it reaches its saturation point. Than it is just as bad as a...

congrats on your purchase. If you check out my POA review, I discuss the amp topology in great detail. Its sorta a mono block in that it has separate power caps and rectification for each channel but not an individual power supply per channel. It actually has 4 E-core Xformers and is fully...

Agreed though I think composite video is more useful than s-video. I have tons of rca cables and a handful of s-video. So I'd rather give up s-video over composite. I forgot to add the option of auto room correction but I think most companies would leave that in as a perk, especially if its...

Guys; please participate in this thread if you prefer more audio centric receivers to be offered from your favorite brands: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?p=540539#post540539

Guys; Based on my article: Trading Amplifier Quality for Features - A New Trend in A/V Receivers? I propose that some of our favorite brands come out with a line of Audio centric A/V receivers available only through Specialty Outlets. I suggest price points from $600 - $1500 that...

Please re-read my article. I never said the 2092 was a replacement for the DSP A3090. Also the only difference between an integrated amp vs a receiver is the lack of a tuner in the former.

Um have you seen the latest offering from H/K? I think Not! Not if they are based on ICE topology. I agree at a $1k or less price point on receivers, they shouldn't even try to offer fancy HDMI upscaling. Make the video pass thru and focus on amp quality.

No. It's their own proprietary design. No ICE amp that I know of can put out over 500wpc continuous for full bandwidth into 4 ohms like the Axiom amp I just tested does. Best of all, it does it at under 0.1% THD + N.

I wish I could see them. Apparantly Verizon blocks them out entirely as I can't see them on any of my home computers even when I turn off my firewalls and virus protection programs.

While I agree the Axiom amp is pricey it is MUCH more powerful than any Ice module I've ever seen, especially when driving full power bandwidth into 4 ohm and less loads. The phase response on ICE is quite horrific but it was originally designed to be a subwoofer amp only. While ICE sounds...

In hindsight the 663 perhaps was too much amp for the money and Yamaha released it as such to gain marketshare. Still, the 665 at this price point is just sacrificing too much performance from what I am seeing. I will try to get one in for review to bench test it but its unlikely they will...

Thanks and my wife is the same way. She hates the stuff so its not gonna happen. Maybe I will help cook it for her next week when things settle. Man I'm craving a nice cold IPA right now :D

Output voltage is only part of the equation. Drive level in terms of what load impedance it can deliver that voltage is also important. Its important to note what impedance the manufacturer is rating the Voltage level to as well. Distortion and SNR are also important factors as well...

Guys; I added the following statement fo my aticle regarding Denon: One thing about Denon (as of recent) is when they don't make a direct replacement model in terms of power/performance within a series, they don't continue to increment the model structure the same way (ie. the AVR-4308CI...

Its best to re-read post #6 for your answer.

wow I totally forgot as I normally goto my parents house for Corn Beef and Cabbage but my mom just had hand surgery so that ain't happening this year :( Happy Saint Pat's to everyone!
