Anthem MRX 300 7.1 A/V Receiver

Introduction to the Anthem MRX 300 Receiver

Anthem is a company that is well-known in audiophile circles for cost-no-object separates and excellent separate power amplifiers. Anthem is the parent company to Paradigm, whose Studio 20 v.3 monitors were used in conjunction with the Anthem seven-channel MRX 300 AV receiver for this review. I always assume that companies who manufacture both receivers and speakers design them to work with each other. This may or may not always be the case but the two were a good match for power handling and voicing.

Anthem MRX 500 7.1 A/V Receiver

Introduction to the Anthem MRX 500 7.1 A/V Receiver

A quick internet search turns up a number of very positive reviews for the Anthem MRX 700. The MRX 700 is Anthem’s top of line receiver. In my internet search, however, I didn’t find any reviews of the two other receiver models. Incidentally, the MRX 700 has basically gotten nothing but positive reviews as far as I could tell. Meanwhile, Anthem’s other two receiver models; the MRX 300 and the MRX 500, may very well suit those who don’t quite need all the power and features of the MRX 700 or those who have real world budget constraints.

So I decided to spend a little time with the middle receiver, the MRX 500. A very big part of the story is that all three Anthem receivers include the complete Anthem Room Correction (ARC) system. This is an amazing inclusion at the available price points for the line. Let’s see how the $1,499 MRX 500 stacks up.

CEntrance DACMini USB DAC

Introduction to the CEntrance DACMini


CEntrance is a Chicago based company with engineering in the US and Moscow, Russia, design in Holland, and manufacturing facilities in Asia but final assembly in the US . Let’s just say ‘multi-national’. They got their start in pro audio making microphone/guitar pre-amps with analog to digital converters, the MicPort Pro and AxePort Pro in amazingly small packages. Designed to plug inline on the microphone or guitar cord with a USB output (the units are powered by the USB connection) they provide the smallest possible recording studio, enabling musicians to plug a microphone or guitar ‘directly’ into a computer as if they were plugging into tape deck. Here, we review the CEntrance DACMini.
The natural extension was to go the other way with a USB powered DAC in the same small package, the DACPort. 24/96 DACs available in line level or headphone models. This product was well reviewed throughout the audiophile press. I first heard it at RMAF in 2008. The experience was disconcerting, how could this little thing, powered with that 5V, computer power supply afterthought on the USB interface sound so good? I was impressed but I’d been listening to different systems all day, maybe I was deluded, audio fatigued.

The DACMini is the latest product from CEntrance, using the same DAC technology as the DACPort but in a larger, rather beautiful package, with both headphone and line level (RCA) outputs. Inputs are via USB or S/PDIF. Analog inputs (RCA) are also provided. That latter input might make one think that the DACMini functions like a preamp but it only provides input switching, the volume knob is for the headphone output, the RCA outs are fixed at line level. The line-outs are automatically disabled when headphones are plugged in – preventing embarrassing unintended loudspeaker accompaniment for your late night listening.

Harman Kardon HK 990 Stereo Integrated Amplifier with Digital Room Correction and Dual Subwoofer Bass Management – Part II

Introduction to the Harman Kardon HK 990 Stereo Integrated Amplifier with Digital Room Correction and Dual Subwoofer Bass Management – Part II

This second part of the HK 990 review examines the signal flows in the HK 990 dual-domain integrated amplifier. This analysis is relevant to all units, including modem AVRs, with a DSP signal processing unit in the main signal path. The signal flow is more transparent in this stereo unit than a 7.1 multichannel unit; so, if you are interested in AVR, please stay tuned in to Part 2.
Analog circuit design methods for consumer high-fidelity products date to 1950 with the emergence of reel tape, LPs, and FM. Consumer-friendly discussions of analog component design are found in early (circa 1947) issues of Audio Magazine and early (circa 1951) issues of High Fidelity. Digital recording and CD players arrived at a time that magazines were still somewhat technical. It was not until Dolby Digital (originally called AC-3) started coming off Laser Discs in the mid-1990’s that units with core DSP processors appeared. By that time, the print magazines had de-emphasized technical aspects of design, preferring to focus on measurements results at the terminals of the DUT.

Part II of this series examines the dual-domain DSP based system at a deeper level than the treatment found in most reviews, but it is not so technical as to leave an interested audiophile puzzled.

LG PZ550 50" 3D Plasma HDTV

Introduction to the LG PZ550 3D Plasma HDTV


To follow up my review of the passive 3D LCD LG TV, LG sent me their 50” PZ550 3D Plasma TV to check out. This was a great opportunity for me to compare both the active shutter and passive approach to 3D from the same manufacturer. The LCD set benefitted from the passive approach by allowing its users to purchase many cheap sets of glasses for large gatherings. However, the film-patterned retarder cut the resolution in half and added a shimmer to the image that was too distracting. Another major issue was with the frame creation upconversion that was always on in 3D mode. This gave movement an artificial look and feel and I was worried that might be associated with all 3D sets including the PZ550 plasma and was anxious to find out. Continue reading to hear how this LG TV performed.

Polk RTiA Home Theater System

Introduction to the Polk RTiA Home Theater System

Founded in 1972 by Matt Polk, George Klopfer, and Sandy Gross, Polk Audio has always strived to deliver natural, full-range sound at a competitive price. While no longer run by the founders, Polk Audio still works hard to provide a high-quality sounding product at a price that mere mortals can easily afford. Recently refreshed, the RTi A series of speakers from Polk sports new curve-sided cabinets, upgraded drivers, and real-wood veneer finishes. For this review we’ve assembled a full surround system including the RTi A9 towers, CSi A6 center-channel, and RTi A3 bookshelf speakers for use as surrounds. Rounding out the system is Polk’s DSWPRO660wi wireless-ready subwoofer. As Polk’s second-most expensive line behind the LSi series, we’ll see if the RTi system can offer similar performance to its more expensive siblings.

Pass Labs XP-30 Stereo Preamplifier

Introduction

Recently, we reviewed the Pass Labs XP-20 stereo preamplifier, and it was marvelous. Hot on its heels is the new XP-30, which has the second gain stage for each channel in a separate chassis, making a total of three chassis instead of two. The power supply is more substantial, and there are other changes as well, all resulting in lower noise and better dynamic range. I was surprised at how different the sound was from the XP-20, and the bench test spectra will show you why.

Home Theater Movie Renter's Guide - December, 2011

"Larry Crowne" (Blu-ray) - Reviewed by Jim Clements

Synopsis

This movie opens with the firing of Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) who was a dedicated and fastidious employee of a big box store known as U Mart.  Larry had come to work at U Mart after retiring from a 20-year career as a Navy cook.  We also learn that he was recently divorced and is upside down on his mortgage.  Larry needs to make a change to find work in this difficult economic climate and so he decides to enroll in the local community college to enhance his marketability.  There, he befriends a group of fellow scooter-riders and develops a crush on his speech teacher, Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts).

Universal Studios2011, Color, Rated PG-13, 1 hr 39 minAspect Ratio: 2.40:1Codec: AVC1080pEnglish 5.1 DTS-HD Master AudioStarring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer and Gugu Mbatha-RawDirected by Tom HanksRating

Commentary

This is a hopeful and charming movie about a likeable main character who decides to reinvent himself. There is an easygoing on-screen chemistry between Hanks and Roberts which really makes this film click.  Another standout performance was by Gugu Mbatha-Raw who plays Talia, the spiritual leader of the scooter gang.  And Cedric the Entertainer is spot on in his role as Hanks' neighbor and the "Prime Minister" of their cul-de-sac.  Another excellent performace was George Takei as the droll Economics professor, Dr. Matsutani.  Hanks co-wrote, directed and took the lead role in this movie.  This is another solid rental recommendation for a light diversion.

Technical

The 2.40:1 transfer is bright, sharp and colorful with reference quality contrast.  This movie has no audio dynamite and the 5.1 DTS-HD Master audio is servicable with clear, intelligible dialog and pedestrian sound effects.

Extras

This single disc package has some solid Special Features - a pocket BLU app, Deleted Scenes, The Making of Larry Crowne and a "Fun on Set" segment.

Onkyo M-282 2-Channel Power Amplifier

Product Brand : Onkyo        Model : M282B
# List Price : $349.00 # Offer Price : Too low to display
	Onkyo M-282 2-Channel Power Amplifier   Ideal for quality stereo listening, for expanding your surround system from 5.1 to 6.1 or 7.1 channels to deliver the latest home theater surround formats, and for multiroom setups, Onkyo's M-282 stereo power amplifier makes a powerful and affordable system upgrade. The amp uses Onkyo's exclusive Wide Range Amplifier Technology and pumps 2 x 100 watts per channel RMS into 8 ohm speakers and 2 x 125 wpc into 6 ohms. (For dynamic power handling, you're looking at 2 x 140 watts into 8 ohms, 2 x 125 watts into 6 ohms.) If you're going for an upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1, make sure your 5.1 surround receiver has preamplifier outputs for 7.1 channels. The M-282 only amplifies a line-level signal; it does not include surround processing or a volume control like a traditional preamplifier or an integrated amplifier/surround receiver. You can rig the amp to power up when it senses an audio signal or through the use of a 12-volt trigger (standard to automation systems). The receiver also features audio passthrough jacks in case you want to daisy-chain several like components through several rooms for multi-room distribution of your primary listening source. The receiver uses Onkyo's Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), which ensures signal accuracy even with high-resolution sources such as DVD-Audio and SACD. According to Onkyo, WRAT eliminates the adverse effects of counter-electromotive force by applying an unusually low amount of NFB (negative feedback), constructing the amp with carefully selected, high-tolerance, wide-range parts in all critical sections, and using innovative circuit topology based on the company's decades of experience building high-end amplifiers. The result? A flat response beyond 100 kHz. Rear-panel connections and controls consist of a ground (use only if the system exhibits an audible hum), an input-level adjustment, 1 each stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio input and passthrough/output, a trigger setting (audio, 12-volt, off), a 12-volt trigger input jack, left/right speaker outputs with banana-plug-friendly binding-post speaker terminals, and a grounded AC power terminal. What's in the Box - Power amplifier, an AC power cord, and a user's manual. 100 Watts per Channel Minimum into 8 Ohms, 2 Channels Driven, FTC Auto power on/off High current, low impedance drive Preamp-level input-output loop 12volt trigger and input level adjustment   Ideal for quality stereo listening, for expanding your surround system from 5.1 to 6.1 or 7.1 channels to deliver the latest home theater surround formats, and for multiroom setups, Onkyo's M-282 stereo power amplifier makes a powerful and affordable system upgrade.
