    Sending HDMI signal over long distances

    Had bad experiences with the "cheaper" alternatives. Kramer works well but costly. Agree with the chaps recommending the splitting and longer HDMI cables although the HDMI standard only has to comply with up to 4m max length. Beware of cheaper splitters where negotiation with two different brand...

    What is your opinion regarding the best connectivity route to follow?

    Shadow this is a tough one but you've hit the nail on the head regarding the ultimate income - what sounds better to YOU. After all its your enjoyment that matters and a lot of the stuff we deal with in this industry is subjective. The switching devices would add ease of use, but may degrade the...

    Speakers Amp relationship

    My apologies for not using better wording, and not being as technical as some folks desire. My intention was to keep things at a level where folks who have been less exposed to the hi-fi world could gain some insight that would be of benefit to them. The lowest volume setting after which the...

    Home Cinema new build

    I'd go for a very dark grey as opposed to black. Its more cinema friendly and also "disappears" more than black so wont make your ceiling feel too low.

    Speakers Amp relationship

    On almost all amplifiers when you use the volume control to more than approx. 75-80% of maximum then the amplifier will clip. Just because an amplifier can go to say 100 max does not mean that you should utilise this "power", as the squared wave that you are then supplying to the speaker means...

    Causes of humming

    Agree with Eish. I suggest wiggling the RCA cable as I suspect a dry joint on the RCA input, or the RCA may not be seated 100%. If you find its something else pls post

    Hisense

    I visited my niece the other night and her stepdad had purchased a very large Hisense (think it must have been around 65") LED 3D. I'm incredibly fussy about picture quality, hate 3D, and would normally not even bother to look at anything other than Samsung or Sony. I was approx 30degree...
