    HiFi - Before spending cash on (expensive) crap...Try this

    The room is always important. Prob about 30% influence on your sound. Speakers also always important and everything else. Thats why it is a system. The important thing is to recognise that the room is part (a large part) of the system.

    Crypto currencies

    Crypto currencies were never created to invest in and build wealth with. They were supposed to function as a currency that evaded the regulatory red tape when using them in transactions. So imagine being in the RSA and the rand weakens to R18 to one $. Now your TV and hi-fi costs 30% more. If...

    Marantz SR7012 VS Denon AVR 6300 Model Specific ???

    FAIK the Marantz 7012 does not have Auro3D nor Auromatic upmix on board, and it cannot be added on. But with the Denon X6300H you can add it on with a $199 patch. Am I correct? For me and future resale this would be key. So Denon it has to be.

    Marantz Sr6012 Avr

    I may have digressed. Sorry. I think the 6012 would compare with the Denon X3400H. Perhaps ask dealers like Judy and Vaughan etc.

    Marantz Sr6012 Avr

    Marantz & Denon are from the same stable and sound and build and sound quality wise identical IMHO. The differences appear to be in what they offer in features at a certain moment in time. Denon appears to always be upgraded first. Many USA dealers say that the Marantz offers the basics without...

    Room response measurement

    I still have to do this myself. A scientific approach. Give a man a fish vs teaching how to fish. For me it is a mountain to climb, but it is >>> I must I must I must

    Yes it still looks great, almost 80 years later !! The large % glass surfaces must present a challenge.

    Denon AVR-X4400H or Denon AVR-X6400H with power amp for AURO3D ?

    @RobertChicken, thanks for the pricing >>> always welcome But "these two equivalent models" I disagree with. The Denon has built in Auro3D and Auromatic that enables you to upmix any BR or legacy DVD to Auro3D, so you need not wait for Auro3D software to become mainstream, while there already...

    Denon AVR-X4400H or Denon AVR-X6400H with power amp for AURO3D ?

    @Drifter Marantz >>> "processors for 13.2 channels but pre-outs for 15.2 channels." What are the additional pre-outs for?

    Denon AVR-X4400H or Denon AVR-X6400H with power amp for AURO3D ?

    Both Denon and Marantz make good AVR's. Very similar as they come from the same designers FAIK. Denon just appears to lead with all new formats on board at the moment. Onkyo is said to have reliability issues and Yamaha are a stable all on their own. So I am starting to favour Denon and Marantz...

    Denon AVR-X4400H or Denon AVR-X6400H with power amp for AURO3D ?

    Even although I spend 3 months pa in the USA, I buy in the RSA for the reasons you mention.

    Trinnov... best upgrade yet...astounding

    Thanks Rodney for reporting on your experiences with your Trinnov unit. Far as I can determine, for proper immersive sound, the Trinnov Altitude is king. It is an Auro3D believers must have. For music and movies. I must commend Christian & Morgan for support with "used imported" equipment...

    Sensible survey format. No 60 to 70 nor an over 70 category. Makes me feel young again. The 30 to 40 numbers are encouraging. I would have never thought that. But maybe they login and therefore vote sooner than the ou-toppies who only login monthly! The tail may yet wag. What would be...
