At one meter pretty much any HDMI cable will suffice for up to the max resolution Blu-ray has to offer. It's when you start going more than a few meters at high resolution that things like Kurt is talking about separates the good from bad in HDMI cables. Again if there is no video artifacting...

Kurt, I want a bumper sticker with this quote :)

Umm sorry but Tom N is not my litmus test for credibility. I once went several months with little sleep b/c of stress. It's no fun let me tell you! Sleeping sound at night is a valued treasure and blessing that we all should have and maintain. On that I agree with you! Not sure why you...

This is one of the first posts you've made on this thread that actually makes good sense ;) I agree with much of what you say. When I do Blind testing, I prefer to spend a good amount of time between products before switching. Taking breaks is essential as you really do get listening fatigue...

I never claim all amps sound the same even if they aren't clipping. I don't claim this for any electronics device. Cables are another story. Power of suggestion dominates subjective bias. With HDMI, if you're not seeing a video problem, you're definitely NOT getting an audio problem...

HDMI vs Coax for LPCM <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> The audible differences you are describing between HDMI vs COAX for LPCM have NOTHING to do with the cable. With most Blu-ray players I tested, I've been able to verify that the COAX output and HDMI LPCM output from a redbook CD have...

The Wireworld website makes me a bit sick to my stomach, especially since Dealers regurgitate this to their customers as scientific fact. So sad especially claiming that you can't see a difference in video but you do hear a difference and with a 1 meter cable no less! Here is a little reality...

Niether speaker excel in bass capability but the E55ti has a much larger soundstage and better midrange performance b/c of the MTM array. Pair those speakers with one or two of the 1010i subs and you've got a system that plays very LOUD and Clean. Those are good prices as a pair of the 1010...

As far as the latest Denon and Marantz receivers, they are more alike than they are different. The latest generation of Marantz receivers are 95% Denon. They have a few upgrades in the analog sections over the equivalent Denon models and that is it. Marantz did the right thing allowing Denon...

In this case the "new" gear costs less :) I just don't see that many AVPs for sale these days but hey its a good business to take a high value product in for trade, then turn around and sell it while also selling the client an "upgrade".

Sorry your prior posts were from a Mexico IP address. I appreciate your generous offer of flying me out to your place to run a test. But before you buy my plane ticket and arrange for lodging, I think it would be best for you to publish your test plan here along with photos of your ABX Box...

Downgrading is the new upgrading :D

Audiogon has one AVP for sale with a $5k asking price and the seller is in the USA not Mexico. and I ask again, were you able to switch between the processors instantaneously? What kind of switch box was used. Where was the configuration of the processors? What type of source material was...

Your comment about the AVP jitter is interesting. Did you measure it with a logic analyzer? Oh wait, you don't believe in measurements or specs but it's convenient for you to sight an actual measurable phenomenon as the culprit for your dissatisfaction with the product. How does "Jitter"...

I know more people and Denon/Marantz than you probably realize like the engineers actually designing the stuff. The 8801 is a fine processor but it's not meant to be a direct replacement for the AVP, especially in the analog section. I can't say too much about what I know of Denon/Marantz...

You definitely speak like a dealer and not someone with a shred of technical background. I don't go by specs, I go by what I measure. I also physically test the units in my reference system for comparative purposes. The 4520 Receiver preamp outputs are NOT equivalent to the AVP Processor...

I can tell you without question that the preamp out section of the Denon AVP processor is SUPERIOR in EVERY way to a Marantz PM-11S3. I'm not overly impressed with the latest HDAM topology Marantz is using. It has higher distortion and less output drive than the older version. As far as...
