    Denon AVR USB port fault please help

    Thanks for the responses. I replaced one USB stick (SanDisk brand) wth a different one and got sound out of the system again. The 'faulty' stick works fine on my PC and a media player but did not play with my AVR. I see that the Denon manual says not all USB devices work. Likewise, it takes at...

    How does an AVR connect to a TV?

    Greetings everyone, I am looking for information on how an AVR and TV set interface with each other. Assume I am feeding a DVD signal into my AVR via HDMI. I have been under the impression that once the signal reaches the AVR, it is split into the video signal carried either by an HDMI...

    3 Cheers for Teac

    When deciding to buy or upgrade a CDP, I've always wondered how much different a product such as this one sounds from another good quality CDP? What does "impressive sonic authority" actually mean in comparative terms versus, for example, any of the expensive Marantz or Pioneer CDPs? Given my...

    Redro spread

    I agree R60 a bottle is OTT. Solution is to make your own. There have been recipes on the web and the process is simple. If you come up with a good mix, hell, you could sell it through this forum and support your hifi habit!

    Learning from History: Cinema Sound and EQ Curves - June, 2002 Brian Florian

    Thanks for the link to an interesting and informative article.

    Does oxygen free copper wire make a real difference?

    Hi, I often read that ofc cable is specified by buyers and sellers, implying it makes a difference to sound through speakers. Is there any evidence to support this idea?

    How much do cables matter?

    Tucked away in the Audio Shark link is a reference to this article "Marketing actions can modulate neural representations of experienced pleasantness". This is fantastic as it shows neural evidence that expectations influence perceptions or, putting it another way, it provides evidence that the...
