The Dynamo does not have a high pass filter, unlike the Depth or Descent. From what you mention, the Dynamo manual must be referring to high pass filter settings within the processor, assuming it has the capability to do so.

total deja vue...hahaha...do the words Rik and Ovature coincide? :rolleyes:

As I posted in the previous thread on this topic, I won't buy into the hype on noise harvesters, especially the requirement that "more of them is better" since that's pure marketing. For everyone that believes in them and found a sonic improvement, all the power to you (excuse the pun :) ), I...

Exactly zip...that was my point to begin with :)

Yeah, that's what I thought, thx for the objective confirmation :)

I've seen the video, thanks for the link, but I'm more interested in how you actually measure the NH benefit in your system...or is it purely subjective?

Zip...you're obviously a proponent of the NH...based on your post, what's actually happening in your system when you state that the NH can "kill" the noise before it gets to your amp? Please be specific...

Cherian, many thanks for your extensive input and info on Powervar units, really enjoyed your perspective on this topic. Ok, what's the consensus now on the $80 PS Audio NH?

Have you seen Keane's Strangers DVD vid? Some excellent documentary footage of the band and superb live performances, highly recommended :)

Well if the NH actually works twich then even a dedicated circuit to their equipment doesn't mean much if the ultimate power line that feeds their house (or flat) is shared with others. The random noise that could be inherent in the dedicated circuit to their HT room may also be inherent in the...

Hi Robin...great systems you've posted...here's my HT and two channel system, I took a pic recently but haven't posted into the members systems yet. My surrounds are also ML :)

OMG...is that Bill Shatner's HT? :D

OK I hear ya moondoggie, I stand corrected then :)

Well I wasn't saying that in theory the device wouldn't work, I was just commenting on the usefullness of an $80 noise "harvesting" unit that you plug into a wall outlet. A common tenet that PS Audio cite is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted. This is the well...

Marketing, pure and simple. Converting "noise" into "light"?? I bet I could even find a way to charge everyone here $80 a unit and make it flash when you plug it in near your dimmer so you believe me. Enjoy your sound system w/o this stuff and don't worry about it, if you need to tweak...

Good comments in this thread. Along the same lines as Roberto's post, what I find works extremely well is to use the low pass filter in the sub (in my case the Depth, but Grotto also can) in two channel mode. The Vantage go down to 34 Hz so I set the low pass filter in the sub to 35 Hz. You...

After reading all of this, I'd say the best solution is mine :) I just purchased the Pathos Cinema-X 5.1/2 channel integrated amp that contains a tubed preamp stage with a MOSFET power amp stage. Valves for warming the preamp signal to my Vantages (and more) and solid state to provide the...

Oh btw...I watched War of the Worlds tonight and in the chapter near the beginning where the machine first comes out of the ground, I thought my Depth was going to explode it was so low frequency intensive...fantastic :)

QSound...I recall the technology being developed in the 80's by a couple of Canadian geeks and eventually adopted by artists such as Madonna. Where does it stand now? Edit: Please note that my use of the term "geeks" is only to personify the substantial technical abilities of the people...

The high pitched hissing noise I experienced was exactly the same as outlined in the FAQ in the Vantage manual. A good vacuuming fixed it right up. In your case, if vacuuming doesn't work, you will probably need to return them. In any event, if your Vantages are constantly exposed to high...
