Delay box

Posted by: Scott Ryan on 21 January 2006

I noticed that Primare Systems (Sumiko Audio) manufactures a delay box for use in synchronizing audio with the video/speech on a movie or TV broadcast.

My Sony DVD player runs into my Naim 2 channel system (CDX2, 202, 150x), so I use it for watching DVDs and TV broadcasts, but there is an ever so-slight difference between the lip-sync on the screen and the audio coming from my speakers.

Does anyone have experience with this type of device? Primare's is $395 (US) and I wonder if there's another less expensive option.

Of course, the Primare model actually has the ever-familiar (Naim) green color on its display and and lights, so that would look good on my rack of components.
