I was having problems with the insert video / insert link on this forum page. Try going to my photo blog page and click the video link there (scroll down to bottom):

T.Cobe - how do you insert a youtube link? I tried the insert video http: link but nothing shows up.

I messed up the link (I fixed it in the original post). Here it is again

Nevermind, figured it out (how to insert video link, that is)

Super Dude, VERY impressive!!!!!!
Thanks for posting that!!!!
God Bless,

Brad,

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm glad you got the videos worked out. It took me a bit of trial and error the first time.

Re: the gurgle, did you ever move the y cable to your receiver directly and the run 2 cables off of the y to your Tritons. Sorry, I'm still trying to digest your set up when you had the gurgle. If the y cable wS in the back of your T1s and the signal was expected to go in and out of the T1s, I think that would pose problems. In either case, I'm glad you have things temporarily sorted out.

Cheers,

T Cobe

Actually, I did that pretty early on (plug the Y into the back of the XMC-1), and it didn't make a difference either. The problem there is cable run length, as the left surround is farther from the xmc-1 than my longest cable (for the experiment I just ran it straight across my Living Room floor). I could of course use a female-female coupler with a 2nd cable, but since it didn't help I stuck it out with the y adapater at the left T1 LFE connection. Again, since it's just a passive splitter (literally just wires soldered to the same plug terminals), the Y shouldn't matter where it is in the connection. Unless there's some sort of impedance/distance thing going on.

Anyway, the 7.1 setup is good, and I'm sorta done with worrying about it for awhile. It doesn't help that the DIRAC app on the mac is total junk from a reliability standpoint. It rarely runs through from start to completed download without crashing, so redoing room measurements and filter tweaking is painful. Therefore I don't do it. With my Onkyo and my Anthem recievers, I'd recal the room on any change to speaker location or wiring because it was easy and pretty quick. Not so with the Dirac. I do like the results Dirac delivers, but its just too clunky to be used regularly.
