Absolutely Ridiculous Home Theater

Why waste that much when you could buy a 60k Watt rig?? Funktion one, Opus etc what a waste of money!

What a total nut case. 6 million lmao waste of money and his, standards are so laughable.

He brags about THX on and off like a broken record. He doesn’t have any THX baffle wall in place. All the speakers for his standard are laying on the floor in total clutter of a mess and its the most untidiest 6 million laughable dollar home theater rooms I have ever seen.

Fail!

Snell THX Reference towers are by far the greatest speakers in the world with flawless sound quality and perfect audio fidelity, they were specifically chosen by J.R. Kipnis to achieve aural nirvana no other room in the planet could achieve. For unrivalled sonic performance, the only way to go is with an ultimate Snell THX Reference surround!

Snell THX Reference towers are by far the grethatest in the world with flawless sound quality and perfect audio fidelity which is why the KSS is the best cinema on earth,there isn’t a speaker system on the planet that can compare to the unrivalled sonic performance of the ultimate Snell THX Reference!

Snell thx reference surround is the best sound system in the world by a land slide with its flawllesly perfect audio fidelity and sound quality. There isnt a speakrr system on the planet that can compare to the unparalleled snell thx reference!

Snell THX reference towers are the best in the world with flawlessly perfect audio fidelity and sound quality , there isn’t any other speaker systems on the planet that can compare to the [unrivaled and] unparalleled sonic performance of the ultimate Snell THX reference !

i asked my mum to give me 4 dollars to buy a headphone….she says now i should get a job….after 10 days she gave me 5 dollars on my birthday ^.^ i am lucky to have a mum like her. we are poor but we live happy. ^.^

Pshhh.. I’d rather use my iphone with bose Headphones.

I love home theater system and but sorry to say i don;’t have any at my home because it comes expensive and i can’t afford it. I have seen many expensive home audio products here – mcintoshlabs.com

Can it be built to not look like a post cold war NORAD type command center? Bet it sounds great though…..

He’s Not a fool…. So what your saying is that you should take clean water put it down a rusty pipe and drink it? No it makes perfect sense in order to transfer shows fast and high quality you would want to have the best cabling to take from the best Driver w/e it may be to the best Display duh or else you might as well not have spent thee money in the first place

You are right! “Absolutely Ridiculous Home Theater”! That
Kipnis system looks is my style for sure. As for the conversation about over-paying for HDMI cables I am with the side that thinks over-paying for a Monster brand is foolish. Look at the specs and match them.

This is very informative blog for quick sell house.Thanks for giving me such this information.

Wow, all those albums could acutally work as a diffusor, which would help the overall sound of the room. He would have stack the albums so all the edges to line up with each other.

Yes there are many diffences between HDMI cables.Do you need a 60 Hz or 120 or 240 Hz? Double sheided or triple sheided? Is it running in a wall or not? Some are gas injected. How many Gpgs are you in need of? 2.23 gpgs , 4.95 gpgs ,10.2 gpgs or 15.8 gpgs.? 8 bit of or 8 to 16 bit of color? So on and so on.Each will bring a difference price.
Do you need a 1.4 for a 3D blu ray and 3D tv?
These are the things to take into consideration when buying a HDMI cable.

A lot of money don’t necessarily assure the best quality. If you know what you’re doing you can have a cheap home theater system offering the best quality. I’m not talking about million dollar equipment, but equpment available on the internet. It’s just a matter of knowing where to look and finding the best deals.

Don’t know what kind of shitty tv you have, but on my Samsung LED tv, i can see a huge difference between cheap HDMI and more expensive HDMI.
I get the best result with high quality cables with component in.

Oh the DUSTING! D:

[…] Posted by ImmortalKenny This Isn’t there a guy who mods those things with 20 paralleled DAC chips per channel? […]

Don’t know why Brian (above) doesn’t think jitter is a tech term in the world of audio for video — it’s certainly an often published spec of AD and DA converters. Jitter, oversimply put, is most often associated with poor digital converter clocking — and one of the most likely sources of it is NOT cheap digital cables but, rather, the slaving of one converter to another via wordclock. Sadly, there’s no way around that if you are syncing one converter to another. Some folks have bought into a marketing myth that you can supposedly improve a given converter’s clocking… Read more »

Six million bucks for gear — but not one penny for acoustic design and treatment?

Ought to get some crazy early reflection with that sweetly polished floor…

This stuff cracks me the heck up.

Amazing!
It’s amazing that so many people find the gall to criticize someone who actually has the funds to build something bigger and better than their own dreams.
I can only imagine it’s because their ‘best’ doesn’t give them braqging rights anymore, which is the only reason people spend more money on a stereo system than a car or house.
Admit it. You’re jealous!

Crazy man

I have been working in Film, TV and radio for almost 25 years, and I can guarantee you that NO editing facility or radio or TV station uses high-end cabling. ANY HDMI cable that meets minimum spec and passes a signal will work the same. Digital is either on or off. The “Jitter” (not a technical term that I know in movie land) that most of you see is not a matter of cheap cabling. It is a matter of poor decoding of over-compressed signals by your receiver or display.

the most important consideration in the design and complete set up of your home theater is the size of the room.

the home theater speakers and the other components of your home theater may need to consider the size of the room. Too small rooms for your home theater may not require so many speakers.

In order for you to avoid making mistakes in your choice of home theater equipments including home theater speakers, and home theater furniture, you may require the services of a home theater designer.

U people are all crazy

wow
using monster cable as a reference

the last few years, monster was doing its name credit by sueing every company on earth named monster.
I wouldnt take their word for anything

plus, you think monster are going to admit their cables are overpriced and overspec’d?
there a producer of cable.
not really an independent source, imo.

go with quality cable, not necessarily monster.

Re: Ryan’s comments.
His reference is the Monster Cable website, the biggest manufacturer of absurdly overpriced cabling in the world. Need we say more?

By the way, the website doesn’t even prove the point. It just spouts a bunch of unsupported conjecture that cheap cables MIGHT not perform as well. Well guess what? They Do! No INDEPENDENT review has ever found a difference in short run HDMI cables. Save your money. Good quality 6 ft. HDMI cables are readily available for less than $10.

http://www.monstercable.com/hdmi/the_facts_on_hdmi.asp ……click on performance testing, its called an eye pattern test. it shows the difference between low/ high bandwith HDMI CABLES. there is a big difference. What is the bandwith for a 1080p source???? 4.95 GBPS. what do most of the cheap cables you screw your systems with transfer???? the average is 1.73 GBPS. now you are getting a distorted 1080i. although it could be do to your tin/ copper(if you’re lucky) conductors. ONE of the reasons hdmi cables can get expensive is the conductor they use. good ones use silver conductors, are dielectric gas injected (N2) for insulation, etc.… Read more »

@The Ear
All competent HDMI cables are capable of transmitting well over the maximum bandwidth needed for 1080p and 7.1 channels of lossless audio, which makes your argument of “too much data” irrelevant. Alternatively, if you’re going to spend $6M on home theater, the last thing to skimp on should be room accoustics: Get the record shelf out of the room!

To Pam:
At absolute zero all molecular motion does not have enough energy for transference to other systems, so there is no data loss because no data transmission is possible!!!

In digital cabling, error correction due to wiring loss is handled at the lowest levels of the circuitry. The higher levels where the actual audio data are encoded at the source and decoded at the destination, are impervious to the losses inherent in cabling. To misunderstand this is to completely miss the boat on the fundamental benefits of digital technology.

Just for the record, I can’t make heads or tails out of “The Ear”‘s response. Is there some sort of link to a reference in there, or just a reference to a youtube video telling us to buy more expensive cable.

In the end, you summed it up well, however. There is no difference in a short run HDMI cable, however if you have an expensive system you should buy expensive cables so as not to “cut corners”. Well, OK, then!

AweSomE #^_^#

Wait, why did he get a blu-ray player when he had a ps3?

@Charles – …gotta have it handed to you on a silver platter, huh? I’m sure you intended to say “ridiculis (meant to be spelled like ludicris!)” using the letter “i” instead of “u.” Silly, I know, but I’m a sucker for details. So, on that note, check out this, which clearly illustrates that not all 2 meter (or 6 foot) HDMI cables are the same. Here’s a pertinent excerpt: “The argument goes like this: it may all be 1’s and 0’s, but what is being sent over that cable is electric current. When too much data is sent over a… Read more »

Still waiting for the link (Pam) that shows ANY difference in performance between a cheap HDMI cable and a ridiculously expensive one (at least in reasonable short runs).

Anyway, your explanation is ridiculus (meant to be spelled like ludicrus!).

You say that all cables have digital signal loss, then you go on to say that “you either
receive a digital signal or not”.

Bingo! You got it now! Again, please enlighten us with ANY independent test anywhere that shows a difference in signal performance between short run HDMI cables. I’m waiting…

i want this.

Interesting comment on cable length… so I suppose if you had a longer distance to run your cable than 6m, it might be worth spending a little more.

listen niqqas dont eva use ma name unless you fi’n to pay me, aight. holla atcha boyyyyyyyyy

The amount of errors on such a short run are slim to none and would almost always be fully correctable not masked so the net effect of an improved error rate (if there was any which is rather doubtful) is going to be zero. Unless he is an industry insider and has access to 4K digital cinema files the projector is a waste. Oh wait, there is no DCI-compliant server listed so, no, he can’t do that either. Maybe split screen 4 HD grade images but that’s sure not something that would interest me. He would have been better off… Read more »

@Pam: Hahahahaha. You call HIM an idiot and then use the name of a stupid rapper in place of simple correct english…talk about the pot calling the kettle black…

*ludicrous*
thanks Dave

You know “ludacris” isn’t a real word, right?

@Charles- I agree with Pam (except I don’t think you’re an idiot) that error corrections occur at every stage of the digital process. Here’s a link explaining a bit about error correction.Principles of Digital Audio
Anyway, the basic idea is that any audio system is only as good as it’s weakest link. (If you have 2mil wrapped up in speakers, don’t use phone cable to hook them to your amp.) At least this guy can say his weakest link isn’t in his cabling. 🙂

Charles,
You’re an idiot. There is definitely signal degradation over a cable, any cable or wire for that matter. There is even error correction for the tiny spaces that digital information has to travel inside of a microchip. The reason you either receive a digital signal or not, is inherent on whether there is enough information for the error correction processor to reconstruct the missing pieces of data. There either is, or isn’t. But to assume under any circumstances, except super-conductors at absolute zero kelvin, that there is no data loss, or noise from other cables, is ludacris and terribly mal-informed.

Joel,
What’s your source of this information that there is signal loss in a 6 foot HDMI cable that needs to be “corrected”?

The benefit of digital signalling is that there is NO signal loss unless it’s total signal loss. The signal can only be a 0 or a 1. No one has EVER shown any signal loss in a 6 foot HDMI cable, regardless of how much or how little that cable cost.

@Samuel-Of course, digital signal is… well digital. However, there is signal loss in cabling that the processor has to correct. This is built into all digital electronics, and is called error correcting. Good cables reduce the amount of error correction that the audio processor has to do, which in turn gives a more “true” sound. Will you or I be able to tell? Probably not, but if you’re going to spend 6mil on a theater, why not, right? @JB-As far as the audio tests, there have also been tests done that suggest the higher quality the audio, the more brain… Read more »

“audiophile” that one word tells me this guy is a fool and a moron. anyone can look up the dozens of scientific tests done to this “super-high end” audiophile components, and guess what? they don’t do a damn thing, other than make some other guy more wealthy.

I WONDER IF THE FALCON COULD USE SOME AUDIO UPGRADES?? LooL361

He isn’t using the same $1.80 HDMI cable (really, it’s that cheap) that we mere mortals tend to buy.

Really? And how much does his high-end HDMI cable improve his DIGITAL signal. A fool and his money….
