I ditto BGHD! thanks Abhi for the inadvertent tip.
Abhi, I really enjoyed reading your review of the receiver--especially your 'Eureka' moment when you realized that obvious differences between the sound of your old denon and the newer digital-amped HK disappeared when you did a careful level calibration with the Avia disk.Originally Posted by Abhi
I'll be interested to hear the impressions of BGHD and Eddie before and after calibrating their systems with Avia.
Eddie, BGHD,
Also search for "Digital Video Essentials" on netflix!

Using external test tones makes sense when comparing two products. However, I didn't get a chance to calibrate the DPR with Avia. There could be some differences due to the pre-processing between these two, but to my untrained ears the overall differences were minimal, if played within limits.
Now I can spend the money I saved, on a SPL meter. I returned the 2005, so without the remote w/ built-in meter, gotta go buy one.Originally Posted by Eddie
BTW, it went back because I bought the 435. Tough decision b/w the two. Luckily, the 2005 floor model I bought from Fry's was defective (noticeable fan noise that wasn't present in the 1005 I had earlier), so the decision was easy to return the 2005. But, having had both at the same time, I'd give a very slight edge to the 435 for the EQ. The 435 seemed to tighten-up the bass a tad better than the 2005, at least in my room to my untrained ears.
