This thread is a continuation of the Cambridge Mechatronics (above). The Cambridge turns out to be a version of Ambiophonics - a stereo correction scheme that cancels crosstalk between two loudspeakers. I'm sure many audiophiles have heard of Ambiophonics - but are not aware of its benefits. They may be very significant.
Just wondering if TAS is aware of this (potentially) revolutionary processor - brand new as we speak. Steve Gutenberg talked about it on his blog (the unit then called "pure stereo") and was even featured on the Discovery Channel !
The Dynasonix technology stems from deep research at Princeton University. It promises to produce a (true) 3D soundfield from stereo recordings and only 2 speakers. Too good to be true ? Meridian's Trifield worked - why shouldn't Dynasonix ?
I know this is not a tech repair forum and I am bring this in for repair bur curious if anyone has any ideas....
I Have a ROTEL RSX 1065 5.1 surround receiver. It's been great but recently after playing music for about three hours at a volume of about 62 the fan kicks into hyperdrive and is really loud. The other day all the power went off. I let it cool and turned it on later, and now there is no audio whatsoever from any source.
Any ideas?
As a happy owner of an Oppo BDP-83 Universal Disc Player, I'm seeking the best possible result when playing SACD's, particularly 5.1 discs. I have the device connected to my mid-fi Onkyo TX-SR875 AV receiver via the supplied HDMI cable and have experimented with using PCM out (converted from DTS by the Oppo) to the Onkyo vs.
In a blog posted by TAS reviewer, Alan Taffel, today he writes:
In Issue 188, December 2008, of The Absolute Sound (which subscribers should be receiving soon), RH reviews the Onkyo TX-SR706. He seems favorably impressed with this $899 receiver when hooked up to the Wilson Alexandria X-2s. The Onkyo has Audyssey room correction.
