| video connect In my experience, video is not necessarily degraded when passed through a processor (though some may actually degrade or even improve on the video). However, using ARC is never the best way to get sound out of the system. For top audio quality, ... | |
| Digital coax from CD player to DAC, RCA or BNC-RCA? I did a bunch of testing and made several attempts to test different RCA plugs in a digital cable. In all instances, the sound was always the best using BNC connectors on the end of the cable and then attaching a BNC-to-RCA adapter. I tried DH L... | |
| Center channel Based on what I heard at a show, the Schitt electronics came across somewhat bright/harsh/sterile. I think the JC1 amps will do significantly better, especially since those KEF metal dome tweeters are already bright! | |
| Good Alternative to Sbooster 12V 0.5A that is less expensive Swagman Labs is probably very similar design to Teradak power supplies. You can get a small Teradak 12V 2A power supply on ebay for around $130. I have had good success with using these power supplies. They aren't the absolute best and the re... | |
| 2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C) A "soundbar" can be 3 channels (L/C/R), but in many cases it is actually only 2 channels (L/R). They are generally very cheap speakers and very small in a tiny plastic cabinet, usually around 3" to 4" drivers. You can get more expensive sound ba... | |
| Marantz SR7007 amp issue The "clicks" you hear are relays that "snap" to connect electrical power to different parts of the receiver. It is possible that it is a bad relay, but it is not likely. I think the more common root cause of this problem are electrolytic caps dr... | |
| Which Subwoofer Ah, I stand corrected. I know there is one company that does exactly as I stated with Rythmik. I assumed it was Salk, but I remembered wrong I guess. | |
| Which Subwoofer FYI Salk doesn't actually make the subwoofers. They just take the order and forward it on to Rythmik company.That being said, I would vote for Rythmik for sound quality when compared to SVS. I don't know about sound quality on the Submersive. H... | |
| Yamaha RX-V4..any experience? The "RX-V" series is the low end series of Yamaha AVRs. Also, it's my opinion that this whole thing with 8K is silly. The current 4K with HDR standard is more than you will ever need at this point. The RX-V4 is actually a very light receiver at... | |
| Need Advise On Upgrading My System I suppose it depends on how you hooked up the REL subs. If you used the "subwoofer" output on the Arcam, then the REL subs would only work when you are playing something through the Arcam. | |
| Need Advise On Upgrading My System I did like the sound of the REVEL Performas. They sounded very punchy and the Beryliuum tweeter brought out the symbols better. That is the only thing I am missing at this point. The Arcam Class G is more of a smoothed over colored type of s... | |
| LPS on a NUC or ROON NUCLEUS ? If you are using Roon Nucleus as a transport to connect directly to a DAC, then a linear power supply will definitely improve the sound (as long as your audio system has the resolution to show this difference). If you have soft or laid back amps/... | |
| Need Advise On Upgrading My System The AVR30 is about 5.5 lbs heavier than your AVR550, which would indicate a slightly larger/beefier power supply. However, the output isn't significantly better, so ultimately you might get a very small amount of improvement, but I don't know tha... | |
| surround processor? It's very unfortunate that we have several users on this forum who just continually slam any idea of home theater and multi-channel systems. Yeah, after 100 duplicate copy-pasted messages on this forum, we get it. Every channel costs money and h... | |
| Home speakers with car receiver possible? Okay, technical answer here. Like others have said, putting an 8 ohm speaker onto a car deck will work just fine. I actuality, the car deck power supply does not have to work as hard. That JVC deck will output 22 clean watts per channel into a ... |
