haha I had that same receiver when I was in college. It did a decent job for 2CH but the center/surrounds were so grossly underpowered. Ah the good ole days of Prologic and Top Gun :)

Not so long as I pay the bills around here :rolleyes:

If you want a perfect ending to a fantastic event, check this out: http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/2008-state-ce-union-show-event/ Sorry I couldn't resist plugging our event in a popular thread like this. I really want all of our forum folk to attend as I plan on...

Yea I noticed your seats after I hit submit ;) Your room looks wonderful, now just square away your bass and you're all set!

Dave great work this room looks fabulous! My only comment( if you don't mind) is to try to seal those doors - make sure there are no air gaps. Check out this little article I did to reduce HVAC noise...

Agreed go with stand mounted bookshelf speakers for the front 3. NEVER place the front 3 speakers too far above ear level if you can avoid it.

No I gave the pair Tom gave to me as a house warming gift to my bro so he can use them in his classroom :D

Jeff great feedback! I noticed in the past using Rat Shack SPL meters that supposidly have omni directional mics that simply placing them forward facing as opposed to up, wrecks havoc on calibration accuracy. I am pretty sure this didn't have to do with obstructions from furniture as much...

Yea I played his VM again and he said he was a "special investigator with Homeland Security". When I called him he said he works at a local office in Clearwater for homeland security. When he calls back I will tell him I did my own little investigation and found out he's nothing more than a...

His parents come from Trinidad but he was born in America.

Remember my motto regarding cables and you will avoid arguments with cable soothsayers while appeasing the propeller heads like me: Only poorly designed cables can be sonically distinguisable

Woa don't set your subs to 25Hz! In fact, defeat their crossover and use the one in your receiver instead. I suggest 2 things to try: 1. run your mains full range and set bass out to "both" on your receiver 2. run the subs of your towers thru the sub out, so all 4 subs are mono and playing...

I just checked via my Denon AVP-A1HDCI pre/pro and it says 48kHz. How are you guys getting 96/24 and is it sustained?

I've been trying. I pulled this # off their website and all that happens when you call it is the phone keeps ringing until it eventually disconnects: Citizen Line Operator Number: 202-282-8000 so much for our tax dollars at work. :rolleyes:

Tis true. I think since I spend so many years debunking myths and fallacies that the side effect is that scams come looking for me. Perhaps its revenge from the exotic cable vendors :D

Alas I got my friend on the phone. He says the guy is nothing more than a PI contracted by Homeland since my friend applied for a job with them. The guy is a stooge and trying to act important and powerful.

WTF? I called the phone# on their website and it just keeps ringing. What if this was a real emergency? http://www.dhs.gov/xutil/contactus.shtm I feel much safer knowing there are there 24/7 to respond :confused:

Ok it gets even weirder now. I tried calling my friends homephone since his brother and dad still live there and it's been disconnected. The callerID for this homeland guy is listed as his name NOT Homeland and he told my wife that is his cell#. He says he is with the local branch in...

Last night I got a message on my answering machine from Homeland Security. At first I thought it was a joke. Then I thought I was in trouble for god knows what, and then he got to the point in the message that it was on behalf of someone I knew. That person incidentally is one of my best...

Unless you can instantaneously switch out the cables, you cannot rely on sonic memory to accurately determine if there are sonic differences between the two cables since at best they will be subtle. I suggest you rerun this experiment with your girlfriend, but this time pretend to change out...
