    Transformers trailer

    Saw the trailer and as an avid Transformers fan from childhood, I will go see the movie. Kinda pisses me off how they made Megatron look and I wished they would have stayed closer to the original cartoon. In any event, I am looking forward so long as the storyline is good and the acting...

    Axiom Audio M60v2 vs RBH MC-6CT

    Actually Tom has a pair of RBH TK Towers in for review which are a bit cheaper than the MC Towers and he is really digging them. He also has the Axiom M60V2's as his reference speakers. Stay tuned for his review... PS. I read in a former post that its better to go with company X's top end...

    What's the Matter with HDMI?

    Actually we have FIVE (5) dedicated servers running Audioholics now and they seem to be properly configured. Bring on Slashdot, Yahoo or any other big dogs, we can handle them :D BTW, our servers are not connected with any HDMI cables :eek:

    JVC RX-DP9V, A Monstrous Receiver!

    What are the values of those caps (Vrating, Cap rating)? 3,300uf? I like using smaller multiple caps since it reduces ESR. Looks like a very nice receiver.

    RBH 1266SE v. Onix Reference and AXIOM 80v2 and matching centers - need assistance

    There is more to a subwoofer than how LOUD or LOW it will play. I suggested the JL's for a variety of reasons, reasonable size, great sound & build quality, and they are very linear above 80Hz which is often overlooked but important when getting that satellite / subwoofer splice. Sure, it...

    Outlaw gets into making home speakers.

    Very pricey for what they are giving you in terms of drivers and speaker topology. :confused:

    RBH 1266SE v. Onix Reference and AXIOM 80v2 and matching centers - need assistance

    Speaker choices boil down to a matter of listening preference, budget, and aesthetics. As you pointed out, the M80s vs the 1266's is NOT a fair comparision since they aren't in the same price class though the M80s in Vassallo finishes come dangerously close in price. The Onix speakers are...

    16 Genesis SACD's + bonus DVD(s) starting Mar 7

    Yes, Trick of the Tail in 5.1 is almost unlisteneable. If it weren't for the musicial content, I'd likely shut it off. I haven't listened to the Redbook layer of these discs. Perhaps I will compare them to the normal CD's I have of these albums to see if its a different master.

    16 Genesis SACD's + bonus DVD(s) starting Mar 7

    My Genesis SACD's showed up today! (era 1976-82) My initial impression is that they are all way over EQ'ed making them sound too bright in the top end. The worst example of this is Trick of the Tail. I understand the source material is limited, but IMO there is no excuse for this. The...

    16 Genesis SACD's + bonus DVD(s) starting Mar 7

    Thanks guys. I feel bad cancelling the order since the company has been so nice to me and appears to have excellent service. Hopefully if Darly puts me in touch with Phil and the band, they can send me some extra discs. I finished my interview with Daryl but waiting for him to fact check...

    16 Genesis SACD's + bonus DVD(s) starting Mar 7

    It's really hard to tell what you get with this package. Are the Bside songs all in multi channel SACD? I love the song Naminanu and its been so long since I've heard it or played drums to it. Did you order this box set? If you look carefully it says: Format CD next to the pic so I...

    axiom vs canton

    Canton makes some very nice speakers. Check out our review of one of their top models. Our only gripe is their price, which b/c they are an import, is a bit high. If you can get them for 30-50% off retail, they are definately a good contender to consider IMO.

    Amazing Pat Metheny Video

    You obviously know very little about Pat Metheny to be making such statements. This was not nearly his most complex song and I linked to it more b/c of his creativity in the music and the instrument he had custom made for this purpose. IMO Pat has no equal in playing or creative skills -...

    Emotiva Reference Theater Series IPS-1 Amplifier Review

    The IPS-1 still has independent mono block amps just like the MPS-1 but you can't slide the modules in and out. The MPS-1 would have identical SNR if you pull the limiter circuit off which is easy to do. Emotiva will instruct customers on request if you wish to do so. I mostly prefer the...
