    Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD - release?

    Don't salivate too much. Dolby is still nearly 1 year away from finalizing the spec for DD++ and the horsepower requirements are pretty extensive. The first generation products that claim HD will be compatible with legacy devices and likely downconvert audio to normal DD. So...

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    Its mostly marketing hype based on a very short term (msec duration) current peak capability, much like the IEC rating for dynamic range you see some amplifiers rated to. However, HCC is a Harman rating whereas the Dynamic Power ratings are actually established from a standard. I can't...

    Lucas to make 'Star Wars' prequel

    Or they can make a prequel prequel from a long long long time ago and title it: Star Wars The Big Bang sounds like a porn movie ;) Personally I would prefer to see another Space Balls movie myself :)

    Emotiva MPS-1 Amplifier Review

    Kevin; At the time we tested the RXV-2500 we didn't have the means to measure SNR. All I can tell you however, is the RX-V2500 has one of the quitest preamp sections we ever heard in a receiver/processor. This receiver mated with the Emo amp produced stellar results in my critical listening...

    APC Power Conditioners with Battery Back Up

    We have had several discussions with the design engineers at APC on these products. All we can say is they appear to be snake oil free. Note the UL markings on the backpanels. This is very rare for power conditioners and we are noticing there is just as much snake oil in this area of home...

    Emotiva MPS-1 Amplifier Review

    Goodman; As I stated in the review, due to the amp topology and out of band switching noise, it likely polluted my measurement slightly, as did their inclusion of the limiting circuit (which I feel is a good trade off). In reality, if you couple this amp with a very clean pre/pro such as a...

    Emotiva MPS-1 Amplifier Review

    Perato; The Integra Research RDA7.1 (aka ATI Amplifier) is truly a reference amp both on the bench and it function, as it should be considering it hefty price tag of $5k! The Emo amp, though not quite as powerful or pristine on the bench put forth an incredibly large soundstage, excellent...

    How about some pre amps, Yamaha and Denon?

    The reason why is if you take a typical receiver from Yamaha/Denon and sell it as a preamp only with no power amps, it would still cost the end user roughly the same since they would sell significantly less quanities and would realize a much higher manufacturing cost. That being said, Denon...

    Emotiva MPS-1 Amplifier Review

    Clint is heading up the review of the DMC-1 which should be out in the next couple of weeks or so. Yes I was merely pointing out that they used higher rated and incidentally costlier parts than what we typically see in consumer audio.

    Star Wars Revenge of the Sith **SPOILER** THREAD

    Haha I wondered that myself. Perhaps they built an extra as a backup. I just wonder how they can hurl a planet sized ball thru space at lightspeed, but then again the Borg do it in star trek ;)

    Emotiva MPS-1 Amplifier Review

    Basically what they did was they connected two 50V caps in series for each rail to yield an equivalent working voltage of 100V. The downside of that is the total capacitance is now half that of just the single cap value since capacitors in series sum as follows: 1/Ceq = (1/C1 + 1/C2) much like...
