Today, I watched Return of the Kings. However, I made sure there was no background noise (computer, dishwasher, etc.) and I just sat and enjoyed.
However, I noticed a problem that is probably due to my cheap Sony Receiver.
When the background was quiet, and then dialoge came on, it seemed to be accompanied by some hiss and high-pitch tones (very quiet, and not like a mechanical falure). Or, when the dialouge started, it seemed that it was like a 'bad recording' with background noise as soon as it started. It was only on the center (not all three). The volume wasn't very loud. Also, there was a quite annoying noise floor just from the receiver (constant hiss)
Is this just a cheap receiver? These were very subtle things, so not a big problem, but I am very sensitive to these things. I am wondering if a better receiver (mmmm, Denon 2805...) would cure this?
Thanks!
