| Denon dead? Okay well so it has one fan anyway. Being a receiver you will be happy to find it can be replaced with a much better sounding integrated for a lot less. Then if you also use this as the opportunity to ditch all your other surround gear, possibly m... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. thewatcher101: The room size is 16x30. The speakers are placed on the 16 side, and I sit about 11 feet away from the speakers. The SB are located right under the main, 6" from the wall. I'm reading this as your main speakers are 6" from the wall... | |

| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? The terms budget system and pre-amp do not compute. Being on a budget it was quite frankly a mistake buying a separate amp. Separate pre-amp and amp greatly increases the cost and complexity of your system. Integrateds are by far a better value es... | |
| My Cary amp - the story of a hum and a bug Sorry but not too surprised to hear Cary isn't handling this better. Just because they know about something like this and fix it in a newer model however is pretty normal and hardly controversial. Hate to have to be the one to say it, everyone her... | |

| what is it in audio that you dislike most? What I absolutely dislike the most right now is FedEx saying they left a Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 3 Euphoria interconnect at my front door and I go and look and.... its not there. | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Seems like what I have heard before is phase blah blah blah timing blah blah blah EQ dB blah blah blah. Same blather that has been around everywhere since like forever and never worked anywhere ever.Because it can't. Because: physics.The one thing... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere - Infinity or Mini X4? I don't have those but have a lot of SR and have for over 20 years now. So I have a very high regard for Ted and his abilities. If someone here knows for sure then great. But you could also just give them a call. | |
