Key Digital Phantom Series Distribution Amplifiers Preview [0.16] by clint,December 28, 2010 22:00

Many installers have problems with HDMI systems when they use an AV Receiver to handle the switching chores. The AV receiver may not handle the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) properly which can cause intermittent picture or sound artifacts. The main issue is that TV EDID sometimes is misunderstood or misinterpreted by the AVR in between the HDMI source and AVR. As a result the AVR reports wrong EDID data to the source and nothing works. One way Key Digital has found to eliminate or reduce the issues when using AVR's, is to insert a KD-HDDA1x2 Distribution Amplifier between the AVR and the Display. Once KD-HDDA1x2 (or any other of our DA) is inserted, it "buffers" this misunderstanding and provides "perfect" default EDID to the system and both the AVR and the source are happy and signal goes through.

Acer Deploys FIrst 5.1 Surround Sound Laptop [0.16] by clint,March 13, 2008 03:05

Sometimes the most unlikely products come to market. "Unlikely" just doesn't seem to cut it this time around, however. We really didn't think that a laptop would be the place for 5.1 surround sound, but Acer has plans of its own to do exactly that. The Taiwanese computer giant is busting out two new 1080p-esque HD screen-equipped laptops complete with 5.1 audio. Yeah, we didn't get it at first either.

Audiogurus.com Review – Audioholics is NOT affiliated with Audiogurus.com [0.16] by staff,April 10, 2013 21:00

For a brief time we licensed our name to an online store. While it continued to grow throughout the years, the owners of the store did not meet their contractual obligations with Audioholics.com. In addition, the presence of the online store negatively affected our reputation, traffic and SEO so we ended the partnership amicably and asked them to move to a different domain. Hence Audiogurus was born. However, Audiogurus continues to use our name without our consent despite us issuing a cease and desist. Please be warned we have no affiliation with Audiogurus whatsoever and Audioholics does NOT sell any products other than our informational E-books.
