I will take your suggestion and perform the upgrade at the same time I hookup my new DVD player. I had a custom cabinet built which is difficult to move, so I like to do as much at once as I can. I will borrow a laptop to do the upgrade. Will I loose all my settings when I do the upgrade? I do...

Thanks for the replies. I still see no compelling reason to upgrade software to 2.09 if there is no sound improvement. I only have a 5.1 system and only use the Main Zone. Michael, As soon as I get the 6 cables made for SACD I will let you know the outcome. I have read that if the Pre/pro...

I have 2 questions. First, my Anthem AVM20 is running software 2.06, but I have not experienced any problems that I have noticed, should I upgrade to 2.09? will I get better sound? Second, I just purchased a Philips 963SA DVD/SACD player. I do not yet have the 6 analog cables to connect for...

The new Philips 963SA is available for $399 (I just bought one from J and R) and is easily hackable to be regionfree. It is also an excellent Progressive Scan unit, which also plays SACD's. Its a universal player which from what I have read has much superior electronics than the JVC600 for just...

I have the Arcam Alpha 9. It sounds great to me after 6 months of auditions. It has a digital out. I have it hooked up to an Anthem AVM20 both ways and go back and forth. The ringDAC in the Arcam is much more pure, with better real stage presence on vocals and softer music. The DSP modes of the...

Yes thank you for that great explaination. I usually get messeges that say offset -12 to -14db range.

I have the Anthem AVM20 which has a Firewire port on the back, though I believe with the current software (I am running v2.06) it is not enabled. I wonder if it will be possible when it is enabled to connect a player like the Pioneer to it, or will their link be proprietary to just their...

Sorry I meant Normalization.... Does anyone elses unit give this messege?

First let me start with my setup. I have the Anthem AVM20 powered by a Pass X5. B&W N805w/HTM2 across the front with Gallo Micro's for rears. True Jr. sub. I have an Arcam Alpha 9 CD player so I want to upgrade to a DVD player really just for DVD playback but SACD DVD-A would be a plus, also...

Can someone please help me with 2 things about the Anthem AVM20. First is, what is Req-Eq? I only have a 5.1 setup, does that matter? I can turn on THX, and when I hit the THX button again it goes to Req-Eq.. I cannot tell when it does by turning it on and off. Also what Digital...

If an amp claims class A to 50w then class AB then what? For example teh Pass Labs X series

you can buy the Pass X5 for under $3000. I think for music it will outperform the Anthem amps. It has more finess. Also with the large terroidal transformer, it can handle the peaks necessary for HT.

I started with the CC6 and the 601's. I thought the voices sounded muffled out of the CC6, almost like they were speaking from behind a heavy curtain. I took it back and got the LCR6, which I immeditaly noticed a big impovement. Male voices were chestier, gun shots had oomph.. but a few nights...

I am really curious why no one considers using the Pass X5 as a 5 channel amp with the Anthem AVM20? I just chose it over the Anthem amps.
