Anyone tell me what is the correct audio setting for my DVD player? I've have a Pioneer Universal DVD player that hook up to my Int Amp with RCA cable for stereo not 5.1 or 7.1. Here are the current audio set up on my DVD player. Can anyone tell me what are each changes suppose to do and am I...

I finally have the time to hook up Jolida 1501 for a test run. I was skeptical at first since 20w gain isn't sound like going to be much. But after communicated with tech support from Jolida, they indicated in 4 ohm load this puppy actually put out a strong 150 watts continuously. So, here...

Is this a good trade up from NAD C352 to Jolida 1051RC? My last 3 Amp all having issue powering my MB Quart QL-S830. I'm hoping this will resolve the pain and put it to rest once an for all. My last 3 amps: 1st Yamaha RX-V650 2nd NAD 320BEEE 3rd NAD C352

The problem with listening to Rock/R&B is that sound clarity is bad and when it gets busy its get distorted even further. I guess I just noticed the trend by reading these reply the any music that is too busy, its get distorted quickly. Is there a cure for this?

DVD RCA-out L/R -> NAD CD RCA in L/R Since NAD C352 is for stereo application there is not Sub out so speaker is connected : NAD Speaker out L/R -> Velodyne Speaker Level In --> Velodyne Speaker Level Out --> MB_Q Speakers

Is this due to the Integrated Receiver or the Univeral DVD player that I have or possibility the speaker? I'm getting pretty decent sound when I play Nora Jones or Charlotte Church CDs but almost any Rock/R&B CDs sounded like crap. I can play the same Rock/R&B CDs a lot better thru my Car stereo...

I guess the new question for me is that would SACD sound significately better in 2 channel stereo mode then red book CD?

What's better HDCD or SACD? I been looking into it and HDCD is by Microsoft and SACD is by Sony. SACD from the connection side looks just like DVD_Audio and HDCD uses just the R/L connector as regular CD. So, I'm assuming that if I run a Stereo system then HDCD will be what I need then...

I just had a crazy idea about how to power my power hungry 4ohm speakers. Instead of spending tons of dollar for an average amp that actually design to power 4ohm speakers due to rarety in US, I thought maybe I can just hook up an amp for cars to power my speakers. Since all the amps for cars...

I tested again with a new DVD the Underworld Revolution. Its seem to be normal at -20db for reasonable loud. I think the smaller room size might have something to do with it. I was so fed up with it in my living room that I actually moved the HT system to my little home office. Its just 4 walls...

I have Yamaha RX-V650 that I use for HT. For some reason that I need to turn the volume to +20db or up to be able to listen to it comfortably loud. Which is close to 3/4 turn on the nob. Is there any change in design as I never have to turn any of my other Receiver pass 1/4 to hit the same...

What's a good Surround sound processor in $200 ~ $500? I been looking for one but it seem like no one is making them anymore. A pure surround sound processor.

Bob, I wish I live around your area. In Ventura county Adelphia service is very expensive. I'm paying $100 bucks for Cable modem, Basic Cable w/5HD, and PVR.

Which provides better image quality YPbPr or DVI? I just had my Moxi DVR installed with HD service and the junk do not have HDMI that I was hoping for instead its got YPbPr and DVI. I like to use the best signal possible to justified my HD subscription, thanks.

Thanks for all your help. I just found the culprit that cause all these problems. I was too cheap to invest on a pair of Monster audio spliter and have no patient to wait for it to arrive in the mail. So I went to the local audio shop and pick up some cheap $6.00 audio spliter they happen to...
