| Anybody have a technical definition for "Jitter"?? http://www.jitter.de/ ...has a bunch of resources. | |
| Is it my imagination? What is really shady, is where a BUYER shows interest in an item, then jerks the SELLER around for a few days, while the BUYER lists the item on eBay. (Note the BUYER does even own the item he's auctioning). The BUYER's hoping the current bid exce... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? CDP-64%,tuner-30%,TV-06%.more or less an accurate representation for me. many find it 'odd' that someone my age (24) can 'only' watch about 2 hours of TV, a week. I tell you, it's pretty easy when you don't have cableTV, nor sat. It's not like the... | |
| Caught in a squeeze Though I think we should make a tacit rule that the picture needs to be the ACTUAL picture of the item, and not simply a picture stolen from the manufacturer's web site/sale booklet, etc. | |
| Is it my imagination? I think the spice trade routes and the Tea Companies were founded on this. Buy goods inexpensively in one market and sell it at a higher price in another. Sounds like a Free Market trade to me! | |
| Completely passive audio system... Egads, look at all of those interconnects! Someone get that dude a gramophone, quick!http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/edhtml/eddschst.html..aaa**aahhhhhhhh. audio nirvana! I also enjoy listening to my 'wind-up music boxes!' I find the potential energy ... | |
| Volume Controll on DVD/SACD players I've seen even low-end, off-brand units like, Lasonic, which have 5.1 analog outs and a built-in volume control. But I don't think I've seen a unit that have 5.1 analog outs, that ALSO had a separate pair of 2 channel outs. Is that what you are as... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Cables are all about losses, IMO. No cable can put more info back into the signal. A better cable should allow MORE of the original signal to pass, without adding its own signature. Yes, according to my experience some cables sound better (to me) ... | |
| Extended Warrenty??? I think Homer Simpson said it best, "Extended warranty! How can I lose??!? Woohoo!" Most of the time you are throwing money away on an extended warranty. Though with some items, it is justified, especially if the extended warranty is thru the OEM.... | |
| Average age of audiophiles I would imagine most of the audiophiles emerged from the "golden age of stereo" from the 1950's, 60, and 70s (or something along those lines). I'm guessing here: But I'm assuming _those_ age groups grew up hot-rodding muscle cars and building 2cha... | |
| Home Theatre Software: Insulting? I find the average product from hollywood, although not particularly that great, to be far better than the mainstream garbage the record companies are releasing as of late. Though with movies, you can find some decent titles from the indepenent ho... | |
| Nuetrality be Damned... JM Labs is musical. But If you're looking for something a little more laid back, Vandersteen 3A sigs or Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen IIIs fit the bill. The VR-4 is a little dark sounding, and has excellent low bass, in it's price range. | |
| Anyone heard of this ? Possible "scam" ? Same as with cold computers, especially notebook computers, or other portables that may be left outside in the cold. It's always advisable to let anything with mechanical parts (hard disks, vacuum tubes, CRTs, etc) warm up to ambient temp before s... | |
| PayPal versus C2it I dunno, I was just speculating. I thought I remember reading that you can stop payment on a money order (or was it a cashiers check?), even _after_ the other party tries to cash it. I never verified such a claim, nor do I remember where I might h... | |
