Cable elevators
FWIW I've got G E Triton Refs. Along with the speaker cables, I have a LFE cable, and power cable connected.  With all those cables, I thought some separation might be a good thing.  I had some homemade risers made out of 2x4 cut offs for a while.... 
Center Channel Dialogue
I agree that room acoustics are a major part of good sound and the OP should probably focus on that first. He didn't mention anything about his room and maybe I I incorrectly took that for granted.. I have an irregular shaped open room, vaulted ce... 
Center Channel Dialogue
I'm not familiar with your equipment, but I am familiar with the problem. My center channel is on a cabinet under my TV about a foot from the wall.  The first thing I added were some isolation feet to the fronts.  I noticed cleaner bass, so I adde... 
Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation
I hope you share what you find out about the sound bar you decide on.  I know someone who is also interested in one. FYI  I recently bought a LG C1 TV.  I Had a problem getting the apps to load/work properly until I disconnected the eARC HDMI cab... 
Need help: Energy ESW-C10 subwoofer -- Denon Avr-s540bt receiver?
You could also use any length of sub/rca cable and use a short Y splitter with 1 female in to 2 male outs. I have an old Velodyne sub like that.  It said you could run a sub out to either right or left input or use a Y connecter.  
How Do I Stream Netflix Audio On A Smart TV To My AV Receiver
With eARC you should be able to send the audio portion of your streaming content from your TV to your AVR via HDMI cable.  I'm not sure why you would want to send the video? I'm not familiar with Anthem, but I would think any modern AVR would hav... 
What do audiophiles do in their cars?
For me, the listening experience in a car is different than when I'm home.  At home, I try to get into the music and when I'm driving or riding, I use it more to pass the time.When my wife was looking for a car, she wanted a sun roof.  The Ford Fu... 
Anyone have this problem?
Hey OP,I'm wondering if you are using a Sony TV?  I'm not familiar with your Mac, but remember reading about people having issues between Sony TVs and Oppo players.  It might be a setting with your TV. 
Help selecting a power cord.
Has anyone compared Pangea cords to some more expensive cords? 
Outlaw 7000x 7 Channel amp
FWIWI have an Oppo 205 but use it HDMI to a  AVR. With the AVR set to neo back I get sound from all 7 speakers even with 5.1 content.I believe if go to the Oppo 205 menu, then go to the Audio Output Processing and select Speakers, it will give you... 
GR Research Power Cables
pinwaI saw the GR video and am also curious how they compare.  I've been using some Pangea power cords.  I like the fact that they are shielded, since in my system, a lot of wires are close together behind my rack.Any thoughts on shielded vs unshi... 
Samsung flat screen TV’s
Had a 75" Samsung 1080p (2/2014) from Costco that a couple of strips of LEDs went out after about 4 years.  I had the extended warranty with a year left.  They sent me a new one but wouldn't let me upgrade.  So the new one has been running for abo... 
Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable
Thanks!  I'll keep that in mind.  I guess I'm not dedicated enough to leave my system on when I'm not listening to it, so it'll take me about 3 or 4 months of use.  Since my amps have two pair of speaker outs, maybe I'll hook both pairs up at the ... 
Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable
After seeing some good reviews of the Canare 4S11, I decided to give it a try.  I also compared Monoprice 4C 12AWG in a 9AWG config, Mogami 3404 in star quad 9AWG  config, and KnuKonceptz Krux Kable 8AWG 16C a Kimber style braid with 8C per side. ... 
What is the best receiver to use with the A90J? Budget up to $2k
Hi OP,I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish.  It sounds like you just want to update your surround system while you watch TV.  A new AVR would probably have better room correction with the addition of Dolby Atmos. Atmos will require more spe...
