    Steven Wilson's third solo album already coming!

    Yea I kinda wish he would diversify more in his music. The really great prog rock bands (ie.Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, etc) don't just stick with one sound or chord structure all the time.

    Steven Wilson's third solo album already coming!

    I love Steve Wilson but is he ever going to do anything not in a Minor Key or Diminished chords?

    What Cable Gauge Do I Need for my Speakers?

    It doesn't need to address inductance since inductance of standard zip cord is pretty low to begin with, especially at the lengths you are talking about. Resistance is the DOMINANT metric when dealing with losses associated with cables at audio frequencies.

    Emotiva UMC-200 Preamp / Processor Review

    The processor did route fullrange signal to the front left/right channels but the LFE channel contained much of the same bass at greater amplitude. By not having all 4 subs playing the same signal, this was noticed as very weak bass for 5.1 HD music sources. No I don't recommend routing LFE to...

    Emotiva UMC-200 Preamp / Processor Review

    The 105 has an exceptionally good analog output, especially via balanced. It's literally an audiophile dream player. It's a big investment though, especially since you've already got a 93.

    No the analog bypass is basically a straight thru connection with a very well implemented analog preamp stage.

    Aperion Audio Intimus 4T Summit Wireless Speaker System Video Review

    We've tested this system thoroughly and heard demos of it numerous times at trade shows. It's solid technology with NO loss of fidelity or dropout issues. The only downside is cost and still needing to plug the speakers into a wall outlet.

    Emotiva UMC-200 Preamp / Processor Review

    Yes I think you've got it. Is your Onkyo supplying bass to the sub channel in "direct" mode for those multi-channel sources? It should be. If you truly have fullrange front channels capable of the same SPL output down to 20Hz as your separate powered subs, I still think the best solution...

    Review Updates Guys, I made a few updates to the review based on the feedback I saw at the Emotiva forum. The pages should cache out in an hour so you can see them, but here are the running changes: Bass Management: The “enhanced bass” setting is a great option for those that want to have...

    Emotiva UMC-200 Preamp / Processor Review

    As I said in the review and in this thread, if you keep all HPF and LPF's set to 24dB/oct, the rolloff will ALWAYS be 24dB/Oct. If you change some of the HPF's to 12dB/oct then the summed response to the subwoofer channel when playing correlated audio sources will change.

    Emotiva UMC-200 Preamp / Processor Review

    nope it worked just fine and decoded all of the HD formats correctly. But, the Oppo BDP-105 playing back redbook or SACD sounds better IMO. Most people won't be using such a high caliber blu-ray player with this processor, but if they do, then I recommend using the analog connections.

    Emotiva UMC-200 Preamp / Processor Review

    Thanks I fixed the -10dB typo. The sub level change is the same for ALL products and has to do with the fact I was sending 5 channels of correlated audio into the processor while the sub out was summing them. For CD, its a 2CH source so the level wouldn't jump like that. For multi-channel...

    Emotiva XPR-1 Mono-block Reference Power Amplifier

    I asked and pleaded so many times. They claim its challenging to find reliable meters and the really good ones are pricey and big, meaning they would be like 2 inches or more deep and would require a bigger chassis or thicker front faceplate. These dogs would like killer with some blue...
