Last Thursday the FCC voted in favor of reclassifying the Internet as a Title II public utility. This means all US-based Internet services will fall under FCC regulation giving it the power to exercise a series of rules intended to enforce net neutrality. The move gives the FCC the power to back...

Don't use the switch! see: http://www.audioholics.com/audio-amplifier/impedance-selector-switch-1

Andy Let me see if I follow you. Let's say your running a standard 7.1 speaker layout. Are you suggesting to now use the preout of your primary processor to connect the line level side channels analog outs to a second receiver's multi-ch front L/R inputs. Then put the 2nd receiver in PLII...

Andy; Please provide a procedure on how you use an old 5.1 receiver for floor channels. Do you use the analog ext inputs or toslink or hdmi? What input signal is the old receiver being fed? What decode mode do you have the receiver in? What delays do you set the floor speakers to? I'd like...

This is what I built many years ago. Only change is place the ported side towards the back wall for better performance and leave it open. http://www.audioholics.com/diy-audio/multifunction-theater-seat-riser

The Heir Audio IEM 8.0 in-ear headphones, feature 8 drivers per earpiece with a beautiful wooden enclosure. With their strikingly beautiful design, these IEMs truly combine the best of audio reproduction and aesthetics alike but they come with an exorbitant price tag of $999 Can any in-ear...

Nobody has every really successfully pulled off the module design concept. Integra Research failed at this years ago and Denon didn't have much better success either. The updates as you mentioned are too costly. NAD just announced the 4K module but it won't support full 18.2GPS data since the...

Andy the look on your cats face as he eyes the ATMOuSe speaker is priceless. You better watch out he doesn't eat it :) Your setup is insane man. I'm still trying to figure out how your mixing all of those channels.

Integrating main loudspeakers into a home will always involve at least some compromise. This article explores this topic and also gives you guidelines on proper speaker selection, placement and set up. The biggest mistake enthusiasts often make is placing a horizontal center channel below the...

Looks like poor resonance control on the tweeter. My god that's a big bump up at 20kHz. Though I bet the top end sounds very airy as a result.

Very cool though no idea how to reach them o_O

I would say they were dark though not fully dark. Maybe 60% Godiva but not a true 80% Belgium :)

Agreed regulating a power supply for an amplifier is not a good idea since you will essentially be wasting power to regulate. I had a friend that did this with his amps and although they sounded great and measured great, they were relatively low power as a result.

Agreed. $600 buys you a lot of sub these days from SVS, HSU and Rythmik for example.

I got to hear a full AJ speaker setup at my local Magnolia. I though the audio sounded pretty good but the Atmos effect was virtually non-existent. My wife couldn't stand them at all. Said all the sound was confined at the speaker without much of the 3D effect they are touted to have. I...

There are many ways to ruin fragile speakers and expensive electronics, but there are just as many safeguards you can implement to protect your equipment. There are well known solutions, such as surge protectors, but power surges aren’t the only threat. You can also overheat amplifiers, melt...

Why not deal with Oppo customer service directly? I wasn't even aware they had an authorized dealer network??? Oh and I've owned DVD and Blu-ray players from: Panasonic, Oppo, Denon, and Marantz, etc. To date I've never had a Denon last me more than 2-3 years without some reliability issue...

The Legacy Audio Studio HD bookshelf speakers are shocking. Usually when someone talks about an American, hand-crafted speaker with amazing high-frequency detail (thanks to a unique tweeter), a top-of-the-line cabinet, and high-end finish options, you start to imagine the price tag going up, and...

Man the Santa belly laughs are a bit hard to stomach...:eek: Laurie looks like he want's to be somewhere else in much of the video. The fear of crossover distortion in Class AB amps has been nullified over 20-30 years ago. It's really not an issue anymore with employment of quality...
