Well that would explain why almost everything on TV sucks. No I get if there is extra parts and not just wires that it could be directional but just wires, sounds fishy. I think the active HDMI wires are need for longer runs, if i remember reading correctly. 4 hours ago, teaman said: If you keep the remote on a nightstand they are sure to deter home invaders. Imagine getting hit in the head with one of those remotes.....yikes! I was quite shocked with the remote that came with the DAC, it's tougher and heaver than all the other remotes I have combined. 4 hours ago, dirtmudd said: which end is female and male.....? 3 hours ago, USNRET said: just how long has it been?

It's all aluminum and pretty heavy. Yea those multi channel amps are beasts. Looks like they've moved away from the beefy remotes. The remotes for my PT-100 and MC-700 are made of light, cheap feeling plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz you have to cancel out the inter capacitance of the two halves of itself. Come on everybody knows that. And if you hook it up backwrds? My goodness can you say mucho Henries of inductance? Mucho Henries? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Whatever that is. I did get my XPA-5 to fire up for the first time tonight using the Onk 717 as a pre-pro. It sounded pretty good with the CF-4's, had a lot more bass. I'll probably do a mini-review in its own thread rather than clutter up this already too-long What I Got Today thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would you be growing up today, think any beiber fans in 40 years will be bragging about their music, don't think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
