Todd Anderson's review in this forum of the Pioneer SX-N30 has me thinking of this receiver. I am currently using a Yamaha RX-V571 to power a pair of Vandersteen 2CE in my living room connected to cable, fire tv and a blu-ray player.Should I go with the Pioneer or a AVR with network capabilities...

I have been using a Pioneer VSX-521-K receiver for about 2.5 yrs now. I did not bother to run the MCACC, because my surround speakers (floor standing Polk R50) were placed right beside my Tsi 400 mains. This was due to an odd shaped room, therefore I did not expect much surround effects. So I...

Like it or not, the act of listening intently to music is odd to most people. Mostly, music is used to fill a void while doing something else. Right now, as I type this, I have some music playing. To the majority of people that is as far as it goes. But we....well we sit and actually listen to...

We have other threads that get into "Can we hear a difference?" type questions, the biggest one about amps, located HERE. So this thread is not asking the question "Can we hear a difference?", but asks the following question: How can one learn to listen for and hear the differences between...

Hi, I bought the T748 which has 2 Zone included. After running automatic calibration, different speaker settings, different subwoofer settings and positions turning on and off the EQ option of the Receiver and checking different settings I can't get to listen to mid range frequencies like some...

Xbox One u-turns: was Microsoft wrong to listen to you? Xbox One’s big policy reversals have sparked a great deal of debate this year. VG247′s Dave Cook looks at this week’s comments from Jesse Schell and ponders if Microsoft should have stuck to its guns. Yesterday I...

I've been on the fence for a while now on getting a mic to calibrate my system. I, like most here I'm sure, love to tinker and am curious if it is more a toy to tinker with or if after using a mic, I'll be like "Wow, how did I ever listen to anything before this?". I'm using an older Yamaha...

Unless I am looking for a particular song I like to listen to an album from beginning to end. I think that's one of the reasons that I like vinyl.

I want to play my MP3 songs from my computer using a A/V receiver and be able to control all of it using an iPhone app. Mp3 from PC to receiver controlled by my iPhone

Anyone with an spl meter, Im curious as to what level others listen to their HT setup? Also here is a helpful calculator from crown, helps you pick how many watts you require, may also help you pick which speakers you add to your system.. for example... You have an Em e55ti tower {costs...

This might be a dumb question but I can't seem to find clear answers with a google search. Let's say I want to have the TV screen on (whether the image is coming from a cable box or a PS3) but also listen to music (whether that be through regular AM/FM stereo, Spotify, iTunes, mp3, etc), is...

I saw Mavis Staples (recall Staples Sisters) on the Tonight Show. The guitar impressed me, so I looked up this link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129578095 You can stream the entire album until it's released Sept. 14. I guess it's just MP3, but the good recording comes...

How do you listen to your favorite music? Do you use your high end headphones, do you use a dedicated two channel setup or do you listen in full surround on your theater system? I personally use my two channel system when I am upstairs in the living room but if I am down in the theater room or...

My roommate moved into his new place the the people left their old 60" dlp behind because it doesnt work. This is a Samsung HLR6167WX/XAA. When you power it up, it makes funny noises. The TV never actually turns on. The 'Lamp' light on the front blinks. Attached is the actual sound it...

These sets were manufactured with a design flaw that is only now coming to the surface. In the past 2 years we have seen uncountable numbers of these Elites exhibiting erratic, intermittent performance. Most owners don't know to TURN OFF THEIR SETS UNTIL REPAIRED. They keep using them until...
