Aztec kings, Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors either benign or Calligulan: all were seduced by the glitter and richness of that which was gold. And it's a darned good thing that Moses didn't reveal to his tribe the marvels of electricity, or Aaron would have certainly erected this latest offering from ADA in place of that wicked golden calf. Imagine dozens of nubile Isarelite nymphs dancing to "The Rite of Spring" around - take a deep breath - ADA's Cinema Reference Home Theater Audio-Video Surround Sound Preamplifier Decoder.
The Cinema Reference (for short) is available in a Limited Edition, 20th Anniversary Brass Plated Select Series, and is worthy of worship in its own right. At the forefront of desing, this flagship from ADA incorporates Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS decoding formats, as well as THX Decoding Enhancements. Software upgradeable, this gold bullock boasts HDTV-ready options in addition to 27 other inputs and every species of output your could wish for. Typical of ADA, the Cinema Reference can be tied to advanced multi-room and touchscreen control systems, and is preprogrammed, ready to connect, out-of-the-box.
Calibration and operation is a cinch with the included remote control called The Thing, which is capable of talking to the Cinema Reference and "learning" other audio and video compoents, as well. Imagine yourself with single-knobbed wonder in hand, running through pink noise sweeps as it raises and lowers the Cinema Reference's channle levels to perfection. Blissfully ensconced, you wave your backscratcher scepter, a Pharaoh in underwear, backwar-brimmed crown of the Lower Kingdom atop your pate; absolute monarch of your theater kingdom.
