Thanks again for the measurement part . Hdmi has been accused of horrible " jitter " in it's implementation ? And there are probably some not so fantastic implementations out there especially older ht amps . Can you see any of that in this Onkyo amp ?
What's the spectrum using spdif or toslink at the same amp , I can't remember if this amp has figured in any of the other parts of your epic measurement series . This will ofcourse not change the fact that all functioning hdmi cables will yield the same result . But hdmi vs spdiff could be interesting . This is ofcourse another question than the one you tested . Btw is it really possible to make satire about these guys :) they do work as described using equipment who's noise and distortion behaviour ( tubes and or other cargo cult designs ) that definetely have the possibility to mask any subtle differences that could exist . This is actually to some extent possible , you can infact hear subtle differences even if you use speakers that are far from linear compared to the electronics ,but at moderate levels good speakers are not that bad . But it would not exactly help to drive these speakers with amps that barely can handle them :) to further ad insult to injury many cult speakers are designed to be used with said amps ? In reality the deviate from good contemporary speaker design to be able to use these amps !? 2 wrongs does make 1 silly or what ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
