| How can power cords make a difference? My response was aimed at the objectivists who claim up and down that there is no difference. I have clearly heard differences in a couple single-blind trials. For me that is sufficient evidence for this former non-believer. | |
| HT bypass vs Tape Out No. not unless you turn your preamp upside down. In all seriousness I thought I made this clear. the tape out is an OUTPUT. the HT bypass is in INPUT. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? It appears that things are not as simple as they seem. | |
| HT bypass vs Tape Out HT bypass is in input where tape out is an output. Otherwise they are pretty similar in that both defeat the volume pot(or attenuator). You can't use a tape-in as a HT bypass. It's the wrong direction. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? DC to daylight. | |
| Air conditioning a home theater. Mr. Slim has got to be quieter than central air (I guess this would be a split-mini or a ductless system). They are quite popular in Japan, from what I understand. I can't comment on the efficiency of energy consumption though. | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value I think Holenneck might be hinting that a $100k Mercedes is more like a $10k speaker, and that a $125+ speaker is more like a $400k+ (or 1mil) car (especially a hand-built, custom model). Maybe I'm way off base on that one. As for the original top... | |

| Best One Country System? ARC + Magnepan. | |
| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. I have not heard any which meet your criteria. | |
| What will beat ear 834p by a margin Well since you want a poorman's Aesthtix, I suggest you audition the K&K Phonostage to start with. Other than that, just save up 10% of your paycheck every two weeks until you can afford a Aesthtix (this may take several years). There is no su... | |
| Are there any budget tubed preamps that stand out Transcendent Grounded Grid | |
| Is there an audiophile or hi quality cheater plug? Maybe your AC recepticle is wired up backwards? Why not reverse the leads in the wall? I why not over a powercord with the wiring reversed internally? Either would accomplish the same thing without adding another detrimental series of connections.... |
