Some new goodies...

Well I was on the site, getting that itch for more audio / video equipment. It all started out when I went on a hunt for a Pioneer Elite plasma. One of the members on the site suggested Stitsville Ont, so I got the locator out and found it. Just yesterday I took the hour and a half drive and spent most of my day there in the shop. Really classy shop. Well, I figured I didn't drive all that way for nothing and so I bought the Velodyne DD-15, and the Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH (which was a huge improvement over my Yammy HTR-5850).

Even without calibrating anything yet... wow. I have to say, the Pioneer runs the Studio 100's amazingly. and the 192khz upscaling seems to be pretty good.

Quick question though, when calibrating should I run Velodyne's software first and then utilize MCACC feature on the Pioneer? or vice versa?

WOW! Christmas came early for you, didn't it . Congrats on the big upgrade shopping spree...

Thats a good question. Receivers are notorious for not handling low end equalization well and my gut feeling is that it should not matter because A+B = B+A. Maybe some of the Velo owners can chime in.

Congratulations. That sounds like a really nice combination. If I might ask, what does the DD15 cost in Canada? I have no Velodyne dealer here at the bottom of Ontario. Any other Canadian pricing would be helpful as well, like the DD18 or the SMS-1 if this dealer carried those items.

This can be a frustrating hobby for Canadians, trying to find products or good deals on products.
