Pic probably will not help much unless it's really hi-rez and of multiple angles/shots. Even then, it may be difficult to discern from a photograph. You really need to verify the circuits with test equipment to trace down the appropriate circuits , BUT there could be a very obvious circuit...

If you only want stereo output, the headphone out IS essentially a line out. Get an adapter to use the stereo phone plug output to split out to stereo RCA male connectors. If you want all the pre-outs available, you would have to trace down the circuits in the reciever and wire/install RCA...

If you shop wisely, you can get an 80's Japanese table, used, in superb condition, that offers the performance of what you normally have to pay thousands to acquire. I can specify units of this quality if you desire. Also, there are a very few select cartridges that offer far higher construction...

I really do not want to get in the middle of your conversation, but I have to point out that when the far off axis is a close representation of the on axis response, it is a negative SQ effect to remove the reflection. The addition of this reflected signal adds realism/resolution to timbre and...

The Behringer B2030P speakers are flat out, the best made and performing speakers anywhere near their price range. They beat the Primus also; the B2030P has an even off axis response that even at 15kHz, the response is near identical at even 60 degrees off axis. Ideally, you should use twin subs...

I don't know anything about his self opinion, and I don't care about reputation of anyone, that's not of interest to me, and reputation/experience does not ensure one to be correct in and of itself. I was simply stating factual information regarding 1st reflections based on known perceptual...

Technics actually did have some very impressive speakers at one time (for the era and price), but these are not one of the models. I recommend SB-7000 from Technics if you want a Technics speaker with actual high performance. It was a full range 3 way that had impressive even off axis...

Just a FYI: If you mean to effect the 1st reflection points, a tapestry is not going to have an even broadband effect, nor will it be a good idea in the first place to try to absorb/diffuse the side reflections if the speaker has a near identical amplitude/frequency response far off axis as...

I am not familiar with Yates' most recent practices, but I do know that it used to be he recommended the same incorrect treatment suggestions as most room treatment 'experts'; that is, to reduce early reflections as a normal practice. This is counterproductive for modern high performance...

Jerry, I just got back in the house. I took all of my acoustical treatments and burned them out back in a bonfire since they were not contributing anything substantial. I guess I should have asked if you wanted them first .. sorry about that. :) Acoustically ideal rooms are pointless, man. :)...

To be fair, I did specify high performance/high fidelity subwoofers. A TRUE high performance sub will not cause any 'bass definition' loss, though, as with any sub, you have to place it in the ideal position in the room and ideally have at least a parametric EQ to optimize response in a limited...

I used Dish for years, then went to DTV, and went back to Dish as soon as my contract ended with DTV. DTV's receivers were slower(especially the HD) and I was just not happy with the company at all. Dish, however, has faster/superior hardware and I like the company/customer service better...

I would have to recommend NOT running the Magnepans full range. You should be using an active crossover to limit LF to them, and use a high performance/high fidelity subwoofer (ideally dual subs) to augment the LF properly, if you want satisfying, full range and dynamic bass capability. As TLS...

If you can find it factory refurbished or mint cond. used, the RX-V2600 is a superior choice; not only is it's pre-amp section superior to anything before/after it objectively(due to reasons not relevant here), it has a very powerful stereo amp section. It works superbly as a dedicated pre-amp...

Indeed, very nice value and very appealing for compact speakers. Also, one can reap great rewards by adding a proper active xover to filter bass from these and direct it towards a proper subwoofer - if they want to improve/upgrade sound quality even further with little effort. -Chris

Really, this depends on specific circumstances. If you happen to have a room that is populated by furniture, etc. that provides a reasonable level of diffusion and/or absorption, then a speaker with even off axis response may sound good in this room. If however, you have a room that has...

Jerry, it's a shame you never got to measure the response. I had them working perfectly on my DCX(since yours was not functioning properly at the time) but we never did verify settings on your DCX. I did save the file, and also have a text file with settings noted also, if you want to check all...

The 150/152 is superior for mid-range/treble band. It has a more even far off axis characteristic and is overall flatter in response. Also, the smaller cabinet surface area produces less acoustic output and the smaller internal volume is less effected vs. the larger interior volume of the...

It's statements like these that make it clear you don't even know what anyone said or care to(such as your statement above that I said DSP can correct polar response characteristics) - and your overly-aggressive and demeaning manner is quite unusual, I must say. And my meaning of over 8kHz in...

Wow. You seriously think information above 8khz is irrelevant/unimportant to human hearing spatial detection? Exactly what frequency band is manipulated by the small components / folds entering the ear canal? Music contains plenty of audible energy up to roughly 14kHz for most humans - and that...
