<font color='#000000'>Hi Pat; I am trying to get to it, but finishing up a 16 page review of the new RBH T System, among other things.  We have been getting flooded with product review requests from manufacturers since CES and there appears to be no end!  I think we need more writers ;) In the...

<font color='#000000'>AV-phile; Actually Acurus is no more. &nbsp;Klipsch bought out Aragon and Acurus and discontinued the Acurus name but apparantly rebranded many of the former Acurus amps in their lower line Aragon stuff. &nbsp;As for Nad and Acurus being sister companies, I don't believe...

<font color='#000000'>Rip; Read my review of the Sherbourn PT-7000. &nbsp;Aside from cosmetics it is virtually idential but at a lower cost. http://www.audioholics.com/product....00.html Also see how it faired against every other receiver/processor we reviewed in 2003...

<font color='#000000'>OK, I had many requests to verify operational things on the Yamaha RX-V2400 and thus I hooked my review sample back up to one of my systems to help out. 1) Please review our updated FAQ regarding 9.1 channel support, or lack thereof. &nbsp...

<font color='#000000'>Um Rip, are you sure you have the right website? &nbsp;Almost all of our reviews discuss usability, and even provide set-up tips for the products in question. &nbsp;We do our best to make measurements based on the test equipment at our disposal. &nbsp;In fact with cables...

<font color='#000000'>Audibility of different cables depends on how the particular cable metrics impact the equipment being interfaced, and the sensitivity of the listeners hearing. &nbsp; For example, high capacitance cables can cause one of two things: 1) Frequency peaking (can cause...

<font color='#000000'>This wire is included in part II. &nbsp;Incidentally it is the highest capacitance cable I have ever measured. &nbsp;Stay tuned...</font>

<font color='#000000'>Thats a great link, however the author doesn't account for complex load impedances of some speakers that may dip down to 4 ohms or less at high frequencies. &nbsp;This is why I recommend no thinner than 12AWG wire for speaker runs when high fidelity playback is concerned...

<font color='#000000'>Juan; We have been so swamped lately with CES and product reviews, etc. &nbsp;I am shooting to publish the review by end of February, first week in March. &nbsp;There now I am committed &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Use great care when biamping your speakers and using different amplifier types to ensure the levels are matched properly, especially if their gain structures are different. &nbsp;It is usually advised to use identical amplifiers when biamping, or at least ones with...

<font color='#000000'>Paul; Try setting the player to 0IRE in the &quot;Pic Adjust&quot; menu. &nbsp;The manual doesn't document this well. &nbsp;I am interested to hear your findings.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Bicho; These are kinda difficult companies to contact sometimes but we will try. &nbsp;I can tell you we are gearing up to do more video related reviews in the near future so stay tuned....</font>

<font color='#000000'>EdR; As Dan so eloquently puts, the advantage to terminating your cables is convenience. &nbsp;12AWG wire is fine, and you could certainly bi-wire your fronts to reduce DCR if you like. &nbsp; In my application where I am continually switching out loudspeakers for review...

<font color='#000000'>Maybe this will help RX-V2400 having &quot;Shut Off&quot; problems. Yamaha Receiver FAQ</font>

<font color='#000000'>My theory is this, when making a recording, the artist may choose tube mics/amps because they like the distortion profile that colors the voice/guitar sound. Great no problem there. &nbsp;I also like how a tube amp distorts guitar. However, the playback of the recording...

<font color='#000000'>I will let the measurements speak for themselves Speaker Cable Face Off I Personally I would use their 10AWG wire which costs a little more, but has lower resistance and inductance but of course I am an Audioholic and overkill is not in my vocabulary &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Rives Audio has contributed another article to Audioholics regarding room acoustics, the often forgotten, yet critical component in ones audio system. &nbsp; This article serves as an introductory of what will expand upon all facets of room acoustics and how the every day...

<font color='#000000'>I wouldn't expect a few milliohms of contact resistance to have anyt audible effect. &nbsp;I always find it amusing when exotic cable companies offer upgrades to jumpers and binding posts to stock units. &nbsp;Unless the stock units are corroded or damaged, I would just...

<font color='#000000'>Rob; If you had no speakers connected to your receiver and it still shut off, then it is likely there is something physically wrong with your unit. &nbsp;Are you sure there aren't any stray speaker wires shorting the binding posts? &nbsp;This sounds funny, but sniff the...
