33klfan Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I don't know if anyone noticed this. Like right after dr. octopus is taking that machine into the river, that big steel cage rolls and almost runs over MJ, and spiderman yells, nooooooooooo, and it like crackles. Is this the recording of the disc? It's the only thing i noticed like this before off the top of my head with dvd's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have heard this on quite a few recordings, and sometimes it is just a compression artifiact in the recording. But other times I found that it is the digital crossovers clipping on my HK 525. I had a denon 2802 that did the exact same thing. Also happens on some CD's with especially hot recordings (loud). I guess it's the price we pay for having receivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Oh yeah, I'll check the disc out tonight and see what I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Are you running tube amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have not experienced any crackles on Spiderman 2, that is an intense scene for sure, but would not think you should hear that. Any chance your receiver is clipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33klfan Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 I don't have the soft clipping feature on if that is what u mean. If not how do u tell it's clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33klfan Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Nope, i am not running tube amps, and when, if i ever do, they will be for 2 channel only. I'm using my NAD T753 as the processor with the speakers and dvd player plugged into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have the Superbit version and I hear what you are talking about at 1 hr. 51 min. 06 sec. into the movie. It's not clipping. I think it's a problem with the disk or dblue is on to something. BTW, I saw Spidey 2 on HBO-HD the other night--AWESOME picture. As good as it looks on DVD in 480P (or upconverted to 720p on a DLP), no comparison with how great it looks in 1080i from DirectTV.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get no clipping or distortion, just Toby McGuire's faked scream. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33klfan Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 It sounds like it's the dvd. I didn't think it could be my system. Because even at low volumes it does it. It annoys me, but the rest of the dvd is good sound wise. I never asked if anyone else heard this before, but i am glad i'm not the only one that is hearing it.

DrWho Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Well it certainly wouldn't be the first time that there are problems with the source material. The better your system gets, the more you're going to start noticing things like this. Sometimes I wish I could go back to untrained ears and actually enjoy the music coming out of crappy speakers - my dad is very happy being naive to his bose.

wuzzzer Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I've noticed similar distortion on many movies and tv shows. I think it's just the audio engineers not giving a crap. [8o|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I never would have noticed it until 33klfan mentioned it and I went back to check it out. It's subtle and only coming out of my center channel. MrMcGoo and 33klfan--Do you both have the Superbit version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 My Spiderman II is the Superbit version. I was listening in DTS. It's just a poor scream. Not a big deal. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33klfan Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yeah, it's really no big deal, now that i know that it's the disc. It just worried me when i first heard it a while ago if it wasn't the source. No, it's not the superbit version, just the regular 2 disc set in a thin cardboard box around the dvd case.
