    How to use a Audio Research 230v preaamp in the US

    Yes, I thought so also but Audio Research believes otherwise. "As stated our Service Policies on our web site—we do not perform voltage conversions on our products. If you wish, you could use the unit with a step up transformer." Best Regards, Kalvin Dahl Customer Support Manager

    First thing I can think of is you must have the OPPO set for 720P and above or you will get reduced channel bandwidth

    Review of Genesis 5.3 Loudspeakers

    Gary Bring the Dragons to RMAF. Set up a pair of Genesis 5.3s in the same room and use only the Genesis 5.3s. No one will believe what they are hearing.

    Review of Genesis 5.3 Loudspeakers

    Gary The reviewer failed to list the built in 500 watt servo-controlled bass amplifier in the technical spec listing on the web page and he misquoted in his presentation the output as 400 watts. Stew

    When is Hi-Res not really Hi-Res?

    Bruce Nobody is questioning your integrity or the services you provide. I think the basis for the complaints is the denial stance that HD TRacks has taken in rectifying any apparent or incorrect sale of substandard HiRez files. Here is copy from the HD Tracks web site. "Our 176.4kHz/24-bit...

Just play them back and you can clearly hear that they are not Hi-Rez and you can tell that many are Low-Rez Redbook copies. I find it is...
