    Here is a copy from the Blue Ray white paper describing the different audio streams encoded on a blue ray. Take a look at the bit rate of LPCM vs Dolby Lossless and DTS-HD. You can choose whichever you want but if you want the best, highest quality signal LPCM is that. My MS paint cropping...

    I had a pair of the Andrew Jones FS52 towers and set them to 80-100hz, and it sounded fine. The center and bookshelves might need to be set to 100hz-120hz but the towers from my personal experience did ok at 80-120hz. Your mileage may vary due to the size and distance of your listening space...

    I looked up your sub on the internet and looked at the back panel. Set the phase to 0 ( most subs have this knob and it is similar to the distance function on your receiver). The crossover is a lowpass filter. Low pass filters attenuate signals that go above the number you set passing the...

    Yah not sure what I was thinking, I totally screwed the pooch on my explanation. I guess that is what I get for working 24 hours and drinking a couple beers after getting home. Ok you still want LPCM set in the PS4. Imagine that LPCM is kind like a .wav file, the highest uncompressed signal...

    I cannot seem to find much on the way of frequency response curves for the Klipsch Quintent V. By looking at them I would set the crossover no lower than 120Hz. Those drivers look to be no larger than 4 inches, maybe 3.5 inches. They will have a lot of problems playing lower than 120hz, I'd...

    If YPAO is like Audyssey, after a calibration is ran I would go back and set all speakers to small ( even if changed to large by YPAO) and make sure the speaker crossover is set to 120hz.

    Typing from the iPhone so I will make this quick, will post more detail later. Set ALL speakers to small ( allows the subwoofer to take over ) Crossover = frequency that the speaker stops and the subwoofer starts. 80hz crossover means at 80hz the speaker stops playing and the subwoofer...

    Well my 6 year old Integra pre-amp died, for the $2000 price tag it really didn't last as long as I would have expected it too. I really was hoping my old Integra would last another year or 2 so I could buy a Trinnov Processor but I guess it wasn't in the cards. My current setup is built...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    The fastest ( and more entertaining) way is probably Noob's method that Quineloe posted. I did nothing but donations and it worked, but was boring as hell. Ranks 1-7 probably took 6 hours total, but after that it got progressively longer. Rank 11+ took 4+ hours each of doing nothing but...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    That is not a bad method..... little late for me but hopefully it will help others. Once I started donating in 1 million credit blocks (1.5-2 hours) and then take a break the process seemed to go a little easier. I do not want to think about Federal ranking until after I hitElitein trading...

    Well according to Michael Brookes the Corvette will require Rear Admiral and the Cutter will require Duke. Just hit Prince tonight, so I guess I can finally take a break from rank grinding, day 1 cutter here I come! I wonder what max rank is for because it is significantly longer to grind for...

    I actually just put my Maxnomic Titan together this afternoon. So far it feels very sturdy and comfortable. Its no where near as gaudy as the DXracer and feels very well built. I am a relatively big guy at 6"4 and 270 lbs but this chair dwarfs me. My only current complaint at the moment is...

    Hey Attog, I missed this post somehow. I used to own a full Danley 5.2 setup that included 2 Dts-10s in a treated room. Absolutely the best audio experience I've ever had. I was very proud of my old room. I recommend some EQ for the Dts-10 there is a nasty 54hz ring that needs to be...

    Generally professional gear is held to a much higher standard than home speakers of any kind. These speakers need to be accurate and reliable for years and the contract prices are huge, so these companies have to provide the goods so to say. The first time i listened to mastering speakers for...

    Jysin, I can see where my comment might of come off a bit harsh, which I didn't intend it to. I have listened to a few iterations of B&W 802 and have left wanting every time, considering their price. I heard them in a few high end stores, and twice in a Keith Yates spare no expense reference...

    Nice Rack attog! The room looks awesome, I am very impressed! Those 1099's will light the place up for sure. What are you going to use for surrounds? Their Volt Coaxial options seem like a great idea for Dolby Atmos surround modules, but I think they sell out of parts for that quite...

    Jysin, Many of the DIY kits are better than multi thousand dollar setups. Most highend speakers are catered to the look good, exotic (untested and crappy) parts, and the, "its more expensive so it has to be better" crowd. They are often times designed by knowledgeable people who trust their...

    Attog, those look strikingly similar to the Elusive 1099 kit from DIYsoundgroup. I bought a bunch of mfw-15 woofers from Erich a few years ago, was a stand up guy to deal with. Have you ever heard waveguide speakers before? If not your in for a real treat. The FR seems to break up a bit at...

    As a licensed medical provider of anesthesia I thought this thread was entertaining. Azrayne, when the day comes that you need surgery request a Dexmedetomidine infusion, it really helps the drug/alcohol user wake up more relaxed and in less pain from the opioid-induced hyperalgesia. I do have...
