Lej1447, Marty had mentioned an approach to providing sufficient AC to your equipment through the use of 20 amp dedicated circuits. For most large amplifier users, this is not an option, but a requirement. A dedicated outlet for your system would ...

Marty, I guess my question would be, "How much receiver do you need for 107db in a 12'x13' room"? 
I'm confused
Gentleman, let's put opinions aside and evaluate based on facts and raw numbers. Lej1447 is presently using a 15 amp non-dedicated circuit as a power source for a plasma tv, a 5x90 HT receiver, a 150 watt sub, and any other input sources. On it's ...

Lej1447, here is a simple experiment. Unplug the Denon receiver from the power strip, and plug it directly into the wall. See if you notice a difference in the capability of reproducing dynamic passages.Let us know of your results.

Sean, I agree. HT receivers of this magnitude will always confront you with compromise. Especially in terms of power supplies, which generally do not have the capability of high current flow and the ability to recharge the caps in the power supply...

Lej1447, just some food for thought..... maybe it's not the amp running out of steam, but possibly the wall? I use a Denon 3803 for my HT. It is rated at 105wpc. I am using said amp in conjunction with 89db efficient speakers in a room just slight... 
XRCD Technology
Warren hit this nail right on the head. XRCDs do sound more "analog". More than likely, it is the cumulative results of the more tightly controlled manufacturing process, use of higher quality blank discs, and excellent mastering of most of the or... 
What are you all doing to modify your cds?
Sean, with all due respect, I have to question the audible effects of error correction. If the percentage of error correction must increase in correlation to using either the edge marker or CD mat, why do they sound better using either of these me... 
Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize
Matchstikman, the mods that we have been doing to these discs is somewhat pushing the boundaries of the "nonconforming". I'm sure that many CD manufacturers would attempt to discourage us from doing so. Arguments ranging from removing too much of ...

4yanx, just for clarification, I don't have any fingerprints on my CDs.I always hold them by the EDGES when wiping them against my pant leg.

Albert, I just cut myself on a modified, reissued CD of Joe Walsh "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get".Now I'm bleeding all over my transport.I will be contacting my attorney at the law firm of Ernest & Julio Gallo.I'll show them!

Hi again Sean, if you really think about it, what fun would it be if we were not off our rockers. In terms of these CD tweaks, I have no explanation whatsoever why they work. In theory, they really should make no difference. But they do. And, I'll...

Brian, nothing even comes close to a good running Chevy big block. It's too bad Chevy didn't build an AMX.
