HI I had a different problem once when my three year old son took windex and almost sprayed half of the bottle on my TV. The windex corroded the PCB tracks as you could see green coloured copper oxide formations everywhere. The solution was too open the box, dry it out first. Use a tooth...

The reason why I am intrigued by all these high end processors with high mark ups is that I am not able to figure out what distinguishes them from thier cheaper cousins. People who typically buy high end gear are looking for something better in quality. You can can tell quality in a power...

Michael Thanks for the reply. I perfectly agree with you on the price/volume ratio and the economies of scale. On the licensing front for proprietary audio technologies, I would assume that it would be the same for all vendors wether it is a $200 DVD player with an built in decoder or the...

Hi All I was looking into audio processors for processor + amps separates configuration. Looked into anthem which costs about > $3000 for the processor alone. My question why in the world does anybody have to charge that kind of money for a processor. The top of the line DACs dont cost more...

Thanks for all the responses. I did audition the 5300 and the AVR 525. But they were at different shops with different speakers and to be honest I could not tell the difference as the speakers did most of the colouration. My question primarily came from the fact that if we assume that the...

I have been looking into purchasing a new receiver. My choice is between the Marantz 5300/7300 and the Harman Kardon AVR525. The Harman Kardon specifies the peak current handling capability as 45 Amps. There is no similar current number specified for the Marantz. I was wondering if anybody knows...
