What’s up with the audio on CBS HD’s football coverage?

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Dan asked:

When I watch football on CBS HD, it seems like the audio (both the volume and the speaker channels) go back and forth between two separate settings every few minutes, especially when they switch from the game to their “news desk” back at CBS headquarters. Anyone else have this problem??

I have a very high-end audio receiver and the best cable box that my cable company offers, so I am relatively confident that my equipment is not at fault … especially since it doesn’t happen on any other TV channel.

It’s really takes away from their coverage, just curious if anyone else notices it.

What are the basic equipment of a home audio system setup?

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

thomasthefool asked:

preamp, amp, receiver, watts over speaker limit, under speaker limit, subwoofer

What are all these things. What’s the difference between an amp and a preamp? Is a receiver an amp with a radio tuner (with a preamp as well?) ?

What happens when you go over the speaker’s watt limit? Do you blow the speaker?

I’m not making this up, but there was some article that said if you go under the wattage of a speaker That could Actually DAMAGE your speaker saying it’s unconventional wisdom but true.

Is it necessary to get a subwoofer? If you don’t get a subwoofer, do your speakers do the work?

Pardon my language but HOW THE HELL are you going to choose a good pair of speakers when there are an infinite number of brands all purporting to be high class?

Thanks that’s all I can think of?
