Perato; The Integra Research RDA7.1 (aka ATI Amplifier) is truly a reference amp both on the bench and it function, as it should be considering it hefty price tag of $5k! The Emo amp, though not quite as powerful or pristine on the bench put forth an incredibly large soundstage, excellent...

The reason why is if you take a typical receiver from Yamaha/Denon and sell it as a preamp only with no power amps, it would still cost the end user roughly the same since they would sell significantly less quanities and would realize a much higher manufacturing cost. That being said, Denon...

Clint is heading up the review of the DMC-1 which should be out in the next couple of weeks or so. Yes I was merely pointing out that they used higher rated and incidentally costlier parts than what we typically see in consumer audio.

Haha I wondered that myself. Perhaps they built an extra as a backup. I just wonder how they can hurl a planet sized ball thru space at lightspeed, but then again the Borg do it in star trek ;)

Basically what they did was they connected two 50V caps in series for each rail to yield an equivalent working voltage of 100V. The downside of that is the total capacitance is now half that of just the single cap value since capacitors in series sum as follows: 1/Ceq = (1/C1 + 1/C2) much like...

For our forum folks, here is a sneak peek at my review of the new Emotiva MPS-1 7CH amplifier. This will go online and get its format tweaks on Monday, but you guys get to see it first ;) Emotiva MPS-1 Amplifier Review

Clint; I was about to slap you upside the head for giving away this movie until I read your prior warning post :) Ok lets have at it. 1) You have to realize that Anakin was a derranged love struck teen. He was of the mindset of "If I can't have her, nobody can". 2) Yes the scene where...

Thanks for the update Chris. We look forward to testing the new firmware updates. Perhaps they meant 40Hz bandwidth correction? Sometimes meaning gets lost in translation via email exchanges and such? Also feel free to post before and after bass calibration graphs here if you will and when...

Again this is a text book # assuming perfect lab conditions with no power supply losses. The truth of the matter is transformers saturate, hysteresis becomes a factor. When you factor in all of the real world losses, 40% is actually still very generous and rarely achieved. We are constructing...

The DVD-A vs DTS soundtracks in this disc are very close. There are times such as the Dave Mathews track where I think I prefer the DTS track as I feel it has a bit more punch in the bass and seeing the video really adds realism to the experience. All of these formats have equal potential...

Actually real world class a/b amp efficiency is more like 35-40%. 55% is textbook nonsense, without factoring in power supply losses. The 50A rating is instantaneous like others here have stated. Its impossible for their receiver to deliver anything more than 15A continuously based on the...

Oh I am so afraid the movie theater will be fully packed when your friends arrive ;)

Agreed. Until I can get a really cool space combat Sim (preferably a Star Trek one) or a slick multi player hand to hand combat game, I will stick to Pac Man :) Oh yea, hockey and boxing are cool too...

Brian; Why did you sell your sub? That is one awesome sub!!! I am currently working on a 3 sub install on the AVR-5805 and will be writing up an article about it shortly. I should hear back from Denon Japan sometime late next week on the Audyssey issue. Regardless, it is doubtful...

I think its, ;)

Actually I think you are confusing this with an older press release regarding ver2.0. This DOES include ver1.3 !!!

This is a good place to reference with questions regarding CD/DVD formats, compression, oversampling, technology, etc. Audio Formats, Specs

Pioneer Elite makes some very nice receivers. We recently made contact with them and currently reviewing a Pioneer receiver at the moment. Hopefully we will do Elite soon as well.
