I am a Z9 owner, and after checking on the frequency response that YPAO corrects (nothing below 60 hz.), I used the SPL meter with the Yamaha test tones. Most speaker / room problems are in the low bass area. YPAO is the first crack by Yamaha and I am sure in future models this system will cover...

Ditto on Sound & Vision review on Z9. I was in a hurry and made the mistake of buying it. I should have known better when I saw the author's name, David Ranada, who has never done a review with any substance I have ever read. Should have spend 3 minutes reading it at the mag display and put it...

<font color='#000000'>I am an avid record collector and have a very large collection of pristine analogue records, some 12&quot; 45's, lots of 1/2 mastered records, and a large collection of the old FFS Decca/London's and RCA Living Stereo recordings.I also have an extensive collection of...

<font color='#000000'>Yes, there is no doubt that properly mastered LD sound is much superior to DVD sound - especially current Dolby Digital 5.1. I find in nearly all instances that DTS sounds far better than D.D. because DTS has a higher bit rate (read resolution). Dolby Digital has lots of...

<font color='#000000'>Yes, the phasing out of LD software and players is a concern. As a matter of fact, I am surprised that someone is still manufacturing LD players at this time. Is Pioneer one of them? I bought one of the last and best LD players made by Pioneer, the Elite CLD 99. I also...

<font color='#000000'>I have heard about this before, so I did a little sound &nbsp;comparison between the DVD and LD of the 1925/29 Phantom of the Opera released by Image Entertainment. This movie is a real classic, and it has been released on a restored print. Generally, the picture is very...

<font color='#000000'>Dan is right about health care line-ups in Canada. There is waiting lists for every type of proceedure, and only the critically ill or life threatening accidents get immediate attention. My other half has had two operations ( not life threatening ) in the last two years...

<font color='#000000'>Pam: You are missing my point??? Agreed that A/V prices are lower &nbsp;in the U.S., but we have a lot of advantages in other cost comparisons. Also, see that I mentioned taxes were outrageous in both countries. As you know, the Canadian government has been running a...

<font color='#000000'>One of the main reasons I use Yamaha for my home theatre (Z9) is because I used to work for a high end audio store that sold the line, so I am very familiar with the sound and set-up. Yamaha has tremendous value and good sound for the buck, although I admit the Z9 is in...

<font color='#000000'>Speaker manufacturers measure the frequency response of a speaker a in specially treated room. These rooms are designed to absorb all sound - in other words there is no reflected sound from any surfaces, resulting in a totally &quot;dead&quot; room. The speaker is placed on...

<font color='#000000'>Pam; Don't fly, drive, or walk to buy your grey market receiver. Have it delivered to you and if it is only UL listed, don't plug it in!! Don't buy Bayer stock. I predict a long and prosperous life for you. Soothsayer Al</font>

<font color='#000000'>The wavelength of a 20hz bass note is twenty feet. To play a true low base note (20hz and below) you will need a large room to accomplish this, as well as a great speaker or subwoofer that is flat to 18hz or lower. Very few speakers will play &nbsp;20hz or lower - most...

<font color='#000000'>I see ole Harry Pearson of The Absolute Sound ( and you might as well include J.Gordon Holt, former owner of Stereophile and now writing for TAS) is taking a major broadside from Forum posts without realizing the big contribution ole H.P. (and JGH) have made to the audio...

<font color='#000000'>Pam, I live in a city where some 238 homes were lost to forest fires last summer. In my job,I am currently working with many of these burned-out victims, and so-called ironclad home insurance is not so &quot;ironclad.&quot; I have been witness to many owner/ insurance...

<font color='#000000'>B &amp; K is certainly an A/V receiver that deserves a close look. They are built for the music lover with the added bonus of excellent surround sound. Good old stereo playback is very important to me (in vinyl and CD), and if a receiver sounds terrific in this mode, the...

<font color='#000000'>If you go grey market here in Canada at tle local cut and slash store, quite often you will find various electronics with a UL listed stamp, but no CSA stamp. Without the CSA approval, the Canadian branches will not honor any type of warranty enclosed with the product. They...

<font color='#000000'>Zumbo has it mostly right. The DSP Z9 was introduced in the domestic Japanese market in 2002. It is rated at 250 watts per channel ( using different measurements ). The RXV Z9 is basically the same model with a tuner and reworked to conform to UL regulations (in Canada...
