At least the owners of the CP-8 can feel the pride of ownership of a Denon receiver without power amplifiers they only paid 18k for.

Actually the magic wire started showing up in the early 80's and there was some in the 70's by at least one manufacturer.

I have cd's from the 80's that work fine. A few decades or so ago there was a rumor of cd rot. Of course it never happened. Also about the same time people were buying green sharpies to make their cd's sound better. Just put green ink around the perimeter of your cd and the clarity openness and...

This is the first I've ever heard of this. Something to keep in mind. Thanks for the info.

Unless you have very little money I'd buy some used speakers off of Craig's list or else where. Do some research on brands. Many people like Klipsch however I would never own their speakers but your opinion is all that matters. Do research on speakers also. It wouldn't take much money to make a...

Revel speakers make excellent quality towers, of the best. However Focal, Kef and Paradigm all make excellent speakers also.

It actually sounds like you are fine right now. Using Dirac can't be too hard and once you hear the improvement you'll be happy you made the effort. I've not used Dirac but anything you may have a problem with can be solved here. Many very knowledgeable and experienced people here which can make...

Any well designed solid state amplifier should work. There have been numerous double blind tests taken by thousands of individuals over many decades and there was even an offer of $10,000.00 if anyone could prove they could hear the differences between amplifiers that were working properly and...

I would say some Class D amps are ready for prime time but others are not. I'm still seeing Class D amps having problems driving a reactive load and keeping the frequency response flat. I really don't care about the efficiency or weight but am curious. The Buckeye amps look tempting but only to...

@Pandaman617 Can you post graphs of REW using X and just using the Editor app please? I believe X has to be used with the supplied mic while using REW most would use a quality mike which has me curious to your results. Having measurements of both measured results with REW is appreciated. Thanks

I'd try to unplug it for about 10 seconds for a soft reset first. If that doesn't work try a factory reset. Sometimes you need to try the factory reset a few times for it to take.

I'll believe these feet work as a benefit when there are objective measurements proving there is an audible difference. The only thing I can think of these feet would do would be to lift the speaker higher off of the floor. This will affect the bass and the speaker/room interaction so the...

There's a reason why most quality speaker manufacturers add things like shelf bracing and thick front baffles. Rather than the cabinet absorbing the energy and vibrating from the speaker drivers the acoustic energy is directed into the air. If you put any cushion under a speaker which in effect...

One concern is 2 ohm speakers with a home amp. You need a very high quality amp that will be happy at 2 ohms. I'm not aware of any receivers, not that i'm an expert, that would handle speakers at 2 ohms without tripping the protection system. I don't understand why you would want to use car...

Those stores sure do carry a great amount of gear. Thanks for the pics.

I'm not a car audio guy. One thing I didn't consider is that the driver is for a very low volume space, a car, so that driver will be able to be drive to a volume louder than anyone in the car should be listening at. I'm sure you'll be fine. I don't know every driver out there but for 540...

Is this for a car or a home? If it is for cars there is no doubt a lot I don't know. It seems the 712 has an xmax of only 14 and a price of 540 dollars seems pretty high, at least considering what is available for home subs. Not that Xmax is the end all be all in driver performance. This is a...

@Pogre: I forgot about the fires until hd reminded me. Plus I didn't know about the lawsuit threats.

Good points! I now remember reading a number of cases where these amps did burst into flames. Definitely would stay away from the company knowing what I know now.

I thought ATI made them. If you compare them inside and out the designs are very similar. And actually Cinenova amps are built like a tank. Wish I never sold it. Mine came in a wooden crate. Here are some measurements from 2 different sources...
