    XPA-5 Review

    This is a tough call. I have to review the following items now: Denon Separates Axiom A-1400 Amp Emo XPA-5 Maybe we should run a poll on what the readers would like to see first :)

    XPA-5 Review

    I will be reviewing the XPA-5 after I finish up some other reviews. I just finished a nearly 20 page review of the Yamaha RX-Z11 and need a good 10-15 min break before i test another amp or receiver :)

    Yamaha RX-V863 AV Receiver Overview

    that is an excellent question and I was wondering that myself. I suspect they are NOT independent outputs since they aren't color coded but I will ask Yamaha.

    South Florida Blackout!!

    Crap I think I caused this yesterday when I was doing my power measurements of the Yamaha RX-Z11. :D Luckily I have completed all of my measurements so we should be good now.

    Denon's separates are here!

    Denon is sending me the first samples in the US shortly so if all goes well, I should also have the first "real" review out there. This of course assumes I don't tear another hernia carrying the 150lbs amp up my flight of steps :)

    Audioholics State of the Union 08

    Ditto on that! I spend all day restraining my NY Italian vocabulary in front of my children and business associates. I need that release on Halo and you definately don't want that on AVRANT! :eek:

    New Technology to Push 40Mbps DSL over Existing Copper Wire

    This technology is nothing new. I worked on this about 7 years ago at my former employer Paradyne but they weren't savvy enough to market it properly and get industry acceptance with the RBOC's. They have since then been bought out and their stock hovers at $1/share with no chance of ever...

    Audioholics State of the Union 08

    Well lets think about this. Right now we have 6 demo rooms with a potential of up to 8. So technically, at least 6 of us can be playing full screen if we have 6 Xbox's and ethernet in everyroom :)

    Audioholics State of the Union 08

    I suppose I have to be there since I am hosting the event :D As for Halo 3, i am game to play if it isn't a lousy split screen :) Everyone remember to bring their gaming consoles and we will be set!

    Top 10 Guitar Players all genres

    This seems to be a list more catered towards "10 most popular guitarists" and not 10 most skilled. While I like a good deal of Eric Claptons music, he is IMO one of the most overrated guitarists in the business. His blues stuff is all standard chord progressions that any decent guitarist can...

    Total Eclipse tonight!!!!

    wow nice shots. I was tempted to take some pics as this happened past my daughters bedtime and she really wanted to see it but I figured they wouldn't come out well. Now I can show her these. Thanks Buckeye.

    EQ vs. Room Treatments

    That is why I said "at least" 1/12th octave. And I agree the display of the SMS-1 is virtually useless as we indicated in our review. I always use LMS and a 1/12th octave FFT to verify results. Nulls can be dealt with to a very minor extent with systems like Audyssey. Ultimately using...

    Michael Bay wins the Format War

    Haha this is a hillarious editorial. BTW, I have the Transformers HD DVD and I think the audio fidelity sucks on it. Way too much compression. I should have saved $10 and got it on SD, especially since it wasn't a movie I plan to watch regularly.

    Florida man dumped from wheel chair by the police

    Wow this is crazy. I've been following this story every morning on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show in Tampa. What are the odds it affected someone that visits our forums? Poor guy and thankfully the bad cops were caught!

    APC AV H15 1.5kVA H Type Power Conditioner Review

    The Buzz is caused by a ground loop. If you tie all the grounds of components connected to the H15 back to the chassis pin on the backpanel it will go away. Rotel amps have some of the largest inrush currents in the industry b/c of the multiple capacitor bank in the power supply and little...
