    RX V1 woes

    I installed an RX-V1 for a good friend of mine about 7-8 years ago. He recently had a channel go out and I simply replaced the preamp couplers with new jumpers and it worked fine. I did hear of cases where the preamp / preout jacks get defective over time needing replacement. You may want to...

    Sirius - XM: 10 Years Late and $3.4 Billion Short!

    When XM first came out, it was touted as "CD Audio Quality". I notice they don't claim that anymore. In addition, how convenience also must be portable which Satellite radio currently isn't. Lack of portability, and poor sound quality are two major strikes againt these services IMO.

    EMP 5.1 System

    Large or small room, you're always better off with 2 properly placed subs over 1. If you're receiver only has 1 sub out, you can still run multiple subs using these guidelines: http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/get-good-bass/subwoofer-connection-guide

    Sirius - XM: 10 Years Late and $3.4 Billion Short!

    The sound quality of XM sucks IMO, hence one of the reasons why I wrote this article: Dumbing Down of Audio It's hard for me to even listen to talk shows on XM b/c the voices sound very metallic and compressed. I also tried Sirius and Howard/Bubba just don't sound like themselves. I...

    EMP 5.1 System

    I think it goes like this: The company that owns RBH also owns Destination Audio which also owns EMP. These products were originally branded by Destination Audio but later moved to the EMP line. This is almost as confusing as the Prince name debacle or figuring out if its now John Cougar or...

    Audioholics 1A...a tiny quiz

    Darn thats the price I pay for skim reading a post before replying. Sorry about that. Bottom line is most processors will NOT send LFE to the main channels unless you are not running a dedicated subwoofer. Even if you aren't running a dedicated sub, the LFE channel will be scaled back to...

    Audioholics 1A...a tiny quiz

    How about option D LFE + speakers set small + mains is only routed to the sub channel. The mains set large will only produce bass for the mains channel. This is usually how manufacturers do their bass management. They typically don't send LFE to any channels but the sub b/c of potential of...

    TERMINATOR SALVATION (5 threads merged)

    Sad but true. When you've had that much muscle atrophy happen over the years, there's not much one can do with all of the excessive skin left over due to stretching other than botox perhaps, but limited.
