<font color='#000000'>Audioeng; Points well taken. &nbsp;However, for the most part I feel shielded interconnects, providing that they are low capacitance, will have more benefit than not in most peoples systems. &nbsp;Given the wiring mess of most peoples home theater systems, mine included...

<font color='#000000'>I am also a little confused by the original question. However, in general, the differences between using coax vs optical cables for transmission of PCM, DD/DTS, etc are subtle at best.  If your cable run is short (1-2meters), coax is usually preferable as it allows for a...

<font color='#000000'>King; While we appreciate your input and participation in this forum, I personally find your response offensive and unsubstantiated. &nbsp;We have no particular bias towards one cable brand or another. &nbsp;Steve depicted two examples of cables in his article as examples...

<font color='#000000'>Thanks for your thoughtful reply and critique of Steve's Cable Article. &nbsp;I will attempt to offer responses to your post as time permits. &nbsp;I don't frequent the forums much as I am often busy writing new articles and reviews or working at my day job unfortunately...

<font color='#000000'>Jon; Welcome back to audioholics.com. Your original posts were not altered but deleted because of your derogatory manner and false accusations of people referring to you as a serial killer when the analogy used clearly compared you to a televangelist in a humorous tone...

<font color='#000000'>paulsen,  I turned your questions into a featured FAQ.  Please goto: FAQ: Bass Management Dilemma for DVD-A for the answers to your concerns.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Ray; Where did you see this? &nbsp;I have the latest S&amp;V mag and have not seen a review for the 4ES in it. &nbsp;I also went to their website and its not there.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Alex; I am just curious, who ever said the 4ES is &quot;bad&quot;?  I don't recall Steve saying this in his review.  Nor do I recall him telling people not to buy the 4ES.  Yes our reviews are somewhat subjective, but they also contain technical facts as well.  We try to...

<font color='#000000'>Yes Ray that truly is sad. &nbsp;I already posted this unfortunate news on the frontpage of Audioholics.com. Too bad we never got a chance to review his speakers before they went belly up.</font>

<font color='#000000'>SCHWa72; The problem you are experiencing is not uncommon. &nbsp;Almost all Receivers/Processors have higher noise output when engaged in a DSP mode. &nbsp;This is especially noticeable with high efficient speakers such as your Klipsh. &nbsp;If the hissing isn't audible...

<font color='#000000'>Rick; Just make sure your Receivers component video switcher has at least 50MHz bandwidth and the cables you are using are 75ohm, well shielded, and you should be fine.</font>

<font color='#000000'>PanamaMike; Actually I did not do the Sony review. Stevied did   As for comparing the TA-E9000ES processor to the 4ES Receiver, its really not an apples to apples comparison.  The review Stevied did was to define the reference (IE the 9000ES) too see how well the other...

<font color='#000000'>First of all, it seems I have to correct both of you gents. A 5.1 DD/DTS soundtrack is not composed of any 'mono' channels.  Each channel is discrete containing its own mixed part of the master soundtrack. 6.1 or 7.1, are basically identical, only 7.1 offers two rear amps...

<font color='#000000'>Rick; I am also not a fan of setting my main speakers small. &nbsp;I feel if your main speakers are reasonably flat down to about 35Hz, they should be set large. &nbsp;When phased properly with a musical sub, the overall response, although may have a bump around 35Hz, will...

<font color='#000000'>Joe; If you dont have a defeat on the def tech crossovers, set the frequency to the highest position. &nbsp;This will usually be about 120-150Hz. &nbsp;That should keep you well out of the crossover frequency of your receiver.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I believe the Sony 4ES would be a good match with the Paradigm Speaker Package. &nbsp; In the future, you could always add an external power amp to power the Studio 60's, and use the Sony internal amps to power another room.</font>

<font color='#000000'>CT; First off just to clarify, I don't think Steve knew that the HK 5800 is a five channel power amp and not a receiver. &nbsp;That being the case, the 5800 is a very good 5 channel amp and may prove to be more musical and rugged than the 4ES amp section. &nbsp;My best...
