| Home Theater Enclosure Problem? {quote] It's only on DVDs that I miss words occasionally [/quote]In that case it may be normal. Movies are often mixed so that they can be played at louder volume levels than a radio or TV program. They want those sound effects to really envelope ... | |
| Home Theater Enclosure Problem? How is the ARCAM AVR receiving the 5.1 movie data - TOSLINK or digital coax?What about TV - Toslink also?Or are you using analog cabling?I hope you aren't using any Y connectors to jumper two analog line level outputs together from different sourc... | |
| Home Theater Enclosure Problem? An enclosure around your system will boost the bass response from the speakers (if you soffit mount). Pine wood would not be my first choice. My first choice would be heavy MDF board for cabinetry with a nice hardwood for the visible surfaces (for... | |
| Uneven speaker wire runs I doubt you will hear an audible difference. Electric signals travel at close to the speed of light and speaker cables do not filter the signal very much (unless you have a mis match between speaker impedance and amp output impedance...for example... | |
| Anything under 3 years is just flirting.... No flirt here....1995ATC SCM 20 passive since 1995. SCM 0.1/15 Sub since 1999. SCM 100A since 2005. Before that I used to change speakers every year or so and never spent more than a couple of thousand dollars on a pair of speakers. I consider mys... | |
| it all sounds good, but..... I've even heard $70k systems with digital front ends... its sounds great/good/pleasing/almost 3d/etc., but not real. You obvioulsy prefer Vinyl. Nothing wrong with that. All audio reproduction is limted to what the studio engineer can achieve on a... | |
| it all sounds good, but..... Real may be what you are used to or grew up with. Stick with LP's and you will be happy. Digital does not replicate anything close to Vinyl. | |
| What were your own blind cable test results? Springowl,A lot depends on the speaker impedance and the amp output impedance. Amps with low output impedance will modify the transfer function as the speaker load varies with frequency. This can become audible when the speaker load vary significa... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, That's the BBC series you're talking about, Shadorne? Yes it is currently the best selling HD-DVD and Blu-ray title on Amazon.I agree with Johnny...some stuff is excellent and some is mediocre and barely much better than DVD. A lot depends on the... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, Not to be negative, but I've sat through a lot of demos of both formats, and have yet to be wowed by any of the content beyond what I've seen done by good DVD-players that upconvert 480p content, or a dedicated scaler component for that matter. I... | |

| Queen song question? Kelton,Here is a photo of me setting up my system. It plays Queen "Now I'm Here" quite well. It seems to have plenty of headroom and may be what you are looking for. A picture is worth a thousand words!Ha! I tricked you...just kidding. That is act... | |
| Power conditioners Is there a reason why power conditioners should not be used with a power amp? Yes...power amps need to store and draw on high instantaneous power (big capicitors and big power supply).....therefore any device that may "choke" power could affect t... | |
| active professional monitors for HT Watched a movie with my son last night that I have probably seen 50 times. "Cars" was amazing on my new system. It was like I had never seen it before. The audio was outstanding. The energy this system produces made me feel like I was at a Nascar... | |
