It is really amazing and often laughable to what extent these discussions have degenerated into. That my comments on amps whose power specifications are obviosly overstated and betrayed by their power consumption and weight should be taken as an afront to someon'e cherished gears is, really, an...

Now things are getting more complicated. So dissappearing notes can be due to room accoustics as much as the recording itself. I guess a good LF test tone sweep from a CD test disc should be used to really evaluate room response.

You can always try them out. My only criteria for component cables are that they should be identical in construction and length. A 75-ohm cable is i think a minimum requirement for video cables. Then again, I've some people use ordinary RCA cables without questionable 75ohm impedance values or...

If you only use one DVD player that has DVI outs, use this to connect to the DVI input of your plasma. Otheriwse, you may have to invest on a video selector box with DVI terminals. I believe newer receivers will sport this facility very soon, not just in their flagship models. Right now I...

I've noticed that too. In some jazz materials where a running bass goes through a scale, not all seemed of the same strength. And the peaks in some were more obvious to me than the disappearance of a few notes. I did try using the My Disc test CD on the tracks with ascending and descending...

Talking about yourself? For someone who loves his brand at the exclusion of others and is blinded by the imperfections of that brand is precisely what you are describing.

Ha ha ha, your limited understanding betrays you. It's so obvious it's you who speak through you're wallet not your ears. Nothing in my posts ever quotes a single price on the amps/receivers i've mentioned. Because I really couldn't care less how much they cost as long as they please me with...

He's just talking through his nose. I have yet to hear of an audiophile who upgraded from a Krell to a Yamaha. :D LOL Subjective opinions are one thing. Each has his own, no arguing there It's when the technical specs say more than what the amp can realistically deliver that I find...

LOL Hey guys, tell me if this is a response from a rational creature?

LOL. On the contrary, its your bigotrous love for your pathetic yamaha that indicts you of the same narrowmindedness and bias.

THX is a certification process that attempts to bring a THX certified theater sound to the average listening room. I have been in such THX theaters. Nice sound. But Hi-Fi is far far above THX quality. I often wonder why anyone would want crappy theater sound in their living room. THX or...

Doesn't you treble control on the receiver boost the highs enough?

Very informative article there. Since I don't have a large room to use bass traps, a paramteric equalizer will do. Would a graphic equalizer with 1/3 octave increments between 20Hz and 160hz do?

rgriffin25, I know we do agree on this. In fact, I think what some reviewers say when reviewing an inexpensive gear has some wisdom: "At that price, can't complain" And I can agree with that. I just pointed it out to inform and hope people know what they're getting at whatever price...

I have no problem with letting the ears be the judge. But this is supposed to a forum about the "truth in audio," right? Or did I read wrongly. So why attempt to reveal as faulty a $3,000 RCA cable that claims it will improve the sonics? Some, if not many audiophiles find pleasure in...

Just cruious...if every "lord helmet and Harry..can design cables..." pls enlighten why regulation would not work. Thanks.

Oh, just to enlighten you on my set-up, I currently use an old multichannel ROTEL RSP960 for my preamp mated to a stereo ACURUS A250 and a 3-ch 200X3 power amps conservatively rated with all channels driven at 250 and 200 watts continuous, respectively, into 8 ohms to form a 5 channel config...

Oops, sorry about that, forgot to log in. That's me above. Let me just add, Zipper. I am not in the business of bashing any product out there. As I use a variety of them myself. But I just want to make sure consumers know what they are buying. And not be surprised if what they got does...

Thanks for sharing my conviction that it should be mentioned with whatever extent it should. But I must confess i have difficulty accepting the notion that by converting the DSD streams to PCM and by doing so make it inexpensive, we are "making more people aware of how good each of these...

Ah ok, that's very revealing. I now understand why hyping up tech specs doesn't bother you. Thanks.
