| Speakercbl runs through my doorway and too thick How handy are you? The width of your door molding plus drywall is about 1" (or more if you have plaster walls), which means you can offset the cable about one inch toward the kitchen which is right where the threshold sits. To do this, I would c... | |
| Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp The Sophia IIs are in a whole different league than your 703s - and that's not knocking the 703s, as they truly have a remarkable midrange. That upgrade alone will net you real tangible (audible) differences. How many times have you upgraded elect... | |
| Squeezebox Duet VS AppleTV MikewdcLike you, I was considering the SB Duet and Apple TV. The detailed article, "Music Servers for Audiophiles," which appeared in the August 2008 edition of The Absolute Sound, was extremely helpful in allowing me to make an informed decision.... | |
| Gary Thain He was the wizard of a thousand kings....I too liked Thain when I was a mere lad, but I really do think that, considering all the truly amazing bass players of the genre, your statement would be much more accurate if you eliminated the words "gr... | |
| Squeeze box + SC885 vs DAC1 vs Digital Link III If I was in your position, I would wait for the PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac (PWD). All indicators are that it is truly astonishing for the money ($2,999). Of course, you can pick up a really good deal on a new DL-III now ($699). I can personally att... | |
| Ceiling Exhaust Fan -How loud is .5 sones? Is your attic finished? If not, I would mount the fan in the attic (not in the ceiling of your listening room) on top of the joists - utilizing good damping material between the fan and the joists (do a search for after-market noise isolation moun... | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? The "sensitive male" thing was in vogue back in the 80's when women made a big deal about Allen Alda. Those days are over. Grow some....skin! | |
| CD drive improves HD rip quality? So, exactly what is the consensus...can the actual drive make any difference - even when you are using software with "exact copy" and error correction?? Provided that you accurately transfer all of the bits, does it matter how you transferred them? | |
| Good Toslink Cable From Squeezebox Receiver To DAC Van Den Hul "Optocoupler Mk II"Note: Avoid the "plastic" fiber optical cables. Look for optical cables that utilize pure glass fiber optics. | |

| Seperate bi wire cables? I've wondered about this too. Since I don't have the option of separating them, I decided to twist the two pairs together with 3 twists per foot - nothing scientific. I don't know if this is a good alternative, but fortunately I don't have golden ... | |
| Best Digital Coax for Tube System under $300 You must include the Stereovox XV2 on your short list. | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC Combined with their new DAC, also $3,000, it will very likely set new standards. The reviews have been excellent. My friend, who is an audio dealer, and a trusted one at that, said the demo at the CES show was very impressive. Six grand is not an ... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Well don't take it personally Nasaman! In actuality, I really did not give the copper coupler much of an evaluation. I simply slid it on and off during audio/video playback a few times and I really couldn't discern any differences. I'm going to le... | |
