Using my Audio Precision APx585 HDMI Audio Analyzer, I can do what is called a Bit Error Rate (BER) test. If you're transmitting PCM via HDMI, toslink or Coax and run this test, it will give you a BER in terms of % Every modern Blu-ray, DVD, CD player I've ever tested has always achieved a...

thanks for the link. It's not just tweeter level. Placing them on stands away from a back wall and display monitor will all them to properly image b/c of better off axis response. I plan on testing in both venues in my review. I at least suggest you try it as well just to see how...

I got my system today. Biting my nails to hook it up but I got to finish this Denon DVD-A1UDCI review first. Try placing those speakers on a good pair of stands instead of your desktop. I expect the will sonically disappear.

If these guys would just admit that its nothing more than jewelry to give you a warm fuzzy feeling about your audio equipment, they would do just fine. People don't buy a Rolex b/c its more "accurate" as telling time than a Casio. :rolleyes:

To my knowledge, RBH products won't be demoed at the G2G. Only EMP stuff will be there.

What a load of crap. As if engineers don't know how to measure a piece of copper. Now all of the sudden, snake oil, I mean exotic cable vendors have a groundbreaking new way to truly measure audible differences. Note that the people developing this so called "new test method" are NOT even...

Apparently I had old firmware. The player no longer locks up with these tests but it still fails a few of the cadences mostly dealing with still motion video photography. Not a biggie but interesting to note. I also think its interesting that I am using the Oppo Player as the benchmark in...

refresh your browser. I accidentally posted the forum thread before publishing it live on the site. Its working.

As far as I know it was a joint effort with the owner of RBH and his love of tubes, with another manufacturer.

They aren't but they are trying to penetrate the market by basically selling at cost to create buzz until users start spreading the word. I fear this may backfire by having people devalue the product b/c they are inexpensive. We shall see.

Actually these speakers use the identical driver to the 41-SE but with the improved cone material. I believe the tweeter may be slightly different but comparible. They should compete and in some areas exceed the performance of the 41-SE Signature product. Very exciting especially considering...

Yes the Outlaw is a very good sub. It may in fact have more output at lower frequencies than the EMP but the EMP aesthetically matches the rest of your system. This is something to consider as well. Personally I'd get 2 subs if you could swing it. I recommend reading...

This is a problem with most multi channel equipment. If you recombine the LFE bass into the main channels, it can overload those channels. The newer Dolby spec mandates this I believe. Even when bass from LFE is recombined into the mains, its done at a reduced level. I first experienced this...

This is NOT common and its quite expensive. I believe TAD also uses this cone material. It is lighter than aluminum so it potentially has advantages. I believe the new Status Acoustics stuff RBH will be making in the future will be using the very same cones. Regardless of how good/bad the...

225 watts Bash power is typically about 2X double of a real world continuous rating. You realize a tweeter also can go down to 10Hz? An extension spec is meaningless without knowing how much SPL it can do at that frequency. There is nothing magical about it. Looking at the specs between...

Guys; I was running some of the Spears/Munsil Wedge tests at various cadences tonight and was shocked to find the A1 fail many of them. When I came to the 32322 test, not only did the A1 fail, but it locked the player up and spit garbled characters out even when I power cycled it. I had to...

I am no expert on tube amps. I recall older tube amps often need tube replacements every few years but you may want to check with RBH about that. It would be interesting to hear your impressions coming from a computer system. I plan on reviewing the set in a similar fashion as I am...

The sub doesn't magically stop producing bass below its rated -3dB point. Thus you will still have usable bass response down in the 20Hz region, but it will be tapered off based on the natural roll off of the driver and enclosure system. The 150watts is a continuous power rating. Most sub...

Can you list the equipment you connected via HDMI? I informed Denon and they want to know more so they can try to reproduce it.

Parallel Wiring: Run one speaker cable from the left amp channel to your left speaker. Run another speaker cable from the left amp channel (spliced with the left speaker cable) to the left input of your sub do the same for the right channel Series Wiring Run one speaker cable from the...
