| Krell HTS 7.1 vs Denon AVR-X4300H The Oppo does have excellent video processing, so you would not lose anything by going directly to the projector. I don't think any 4K processor/receiver would be better in this case. The only thing that could be better than Oppo video processin... | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 vs Denon AVR-X4300H The HTS 7.1 was a $8000 processor, and I think it was an extremely good processor. I had it for a long time. It makes a good 2-channel analog preamp, though I would say that it’s slightly soft for a 2-channel preamp because of its analog input sta... | |
| Computer, software, USB cable or ? @effischer - I just came across another re-clocker option. Take a look at the Gustard U12. You can get it for $169 at Amazon. It uses TCXO clocks and had a much better power supply than the Remedy Reclocker. I think it would beat the Remedy. ... | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 vs Denon AVR-X4300H First question, are you intending on replacing your current 2 channel system (McIntosh MA6600 and MCD550)? Or do you just want to build a home theater and still keep your 2 channel system? If you are intending on replacing the 2 channel system, ... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? @herman - is your screen 120" diagonal? or 120" wide? If it's 120" diagonal, the actual width is only 105" (8-3/4 feet).Also, I specifically stated that mgould would need a much higher lumens if he was going to do a calibration (i.e. grayscale an... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? I did some calculations. My screen is 52" X 92", which equals 33.2 square feet of screen area. In a completely dark room, my 1000 lumens projector is just enough for my 1.3 gain screen after calibration (calibration will actually reduce some light... | |
| Amplifier Upgrade Decision @almarg - you could be right, I just assumed because most stereo amplifiers are single ended. Based on what I'm reading on the Plinius SA 103, the Plinius is single ended (not differential). I'm primarily talking about the output stage. Many st... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? I remember reading about usage of different paints about 5-6 years ago. I think it was over on AVSForum. I never did any experimentation with paints. You might not have the amount of gain that a specific screen material would have (I don't know... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? I don't think the grey/black are superior to white in general. They have more resistance to ambient light. The grey screens are designed to reflect light that is directed straight at the screen (i.e. straight line from the projector), but do not... | |
| Server/Renderer vs. Oppo's simple app A "Server/Renderer" has to do with DLNA interfacing using more than one device. For example, you could have a computer with JRiver software. JRiver can act as a "DLNA Server", which means it is a network based source for storing and streaming medi... | |
| Computer, software, USB cable or ? Also, I’ve found laptop USB interfaces are usually very poor quality when compared to desktop. Another suggestions would be reclocker (such as Remedy Reclocker by Wyred 4 Sound). This may make the audio much more solid and better.Moving up to bett... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? Another point. If you are sitting 15 feet away from the screen, it is recommended that the screen size be about 10 feet wide (a good size would be 120" wide by 67.5" high for a 16:9 screen). This gives you the recommended 36 degree viewing angle f... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? Ah, if you are intending to have a 16 foot wide screen (to go across your entire wall), be aware that you'll need 9 feet of "viewable" height, which means that you can't really have multiple rows of seating. If your screen covers the entire 16 fo... | |
| Ideal Screen Size for Theater? 2.35:1 or 16:9? Pretty much all television shows and sporting events are broadcast in 16:9 format, as well as most movies. There are only a small number of movies done in 2.35:1 format, so I would go with 16:9 to support the most media.If you are able to complete... | |
| Amplifier Upgrade Decision The JC1s are fully differential/balanced on the amp output circuit, plus having a much larger power supply and transformer. These amps have more of a Class AB circuit (with an option for Class A bias) and are going to have more brute force for ba... |
