| High End Ethernet Cables ....Real Deal or Snake Oil Hey Eric, I guess everybody got bored of talking about speaker cables and the more 'typical' interconnects 'twixt 'regular' equipment...now it's off on digital signal transfer quality. I can't wait for the discussion on fibre optical cables....*L... | |
| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better Gentlemen, this is an amazing occurrence. We're in general agreement on the subject in discussion. *G*Once upon a time in the distant galaxy known as CA, I used to haunt Pacific Stereo outlets and other retailers to the point that other customers... | |
| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better Hi, guys....I throw my vote and HO with geoff, esp. the last paragraph. It's a moving target; your space vs. the showroom, your equipment and peripherals vs. theirs, and 'broken in' and familiar music selections vs. the unknown age and use of wha... | |
| Quack System Upgrades Andy, I'd feel better if we could....*L*I want the "I don't mind Lamp"....wait a minute, I already own some. You turn them on, and they don't flicker at me. Unless the utility is having a hiccup, that's OK. If I don't like white, there's colore... | |
| Quack System Upgrades Sorry...off topic rant....I'm prone to that, lately....Our current 'shared reality' is a bit too surreal for even my tastes of late. | |
| Quack System Upgrades *LOL* Geoff, that's just the sort of thing that makes me vacillate between amazement and mild paranoia. Things like that have an amazing tendency to just improve on us. There's research going on towards in 'mind control' of digital devices that ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "You can't believe everything you read."Good words to live by. I've always tried to take everything I've read with a 'grain of salt', as we were admonished by the older wizened ones.It's since grown to the size of a salt lick, but it's a great ... | |
| Quack System Upgrades geoffkait, yup, Something IS ruining the sound in the room.......and I'd go absolutely giddy if it was shown to be Us. *LOL*"System would sound great if it weren't for you. Please exit the room."I could see a 'puter piping up with that little req... | |
| Quack System Upgrades ....but I'm merely an absurd, I mean, Observer. Yeah....that.... | |
| Quack System Upgrades Dave, that certainly was a 'serious motivator' to be on the street, esp. in that chassis. It's always been the hp/lbs. ratio that makes the difference between the 'wannabe' and a Serious Slingshot. *G*One of my fav memories of the era was witness... | |
| Quack System Upgrades dlcockrum/Dave...No offense taken, so no problem exists. *G* As a southern CA native and a 'child of the 60's', much too laid back to take umbrage. Besides, I suspected there was a sly snicker in there... ;)"A ridiculous motor"....Having grown u... | |
| Quack System Upgrades folkfreak, no, that's Precisely what I meant, but just got my authors' 'spun'...to place a pun on my goof....Memory fails....aging 'wetware'...along with all the other stuff. If it don't hurt, it don't work, more or less. *sigh*Thanks for the cor... | |
| Securing Monitors to a stand Weighing in...There's 'turner's tape', a seriously sticky double-faced tape available at woodworker's stores, such as Klingspor. 1" w. typically, grey, leaves no residue, typically used to stick wood to lathe plates (albeit generously in that app... | |
| Quack System Upgrades Yup, quack = cables almost immediately for some. I've got my bias, and will not go there. There's plenty of other 'WTF' stuff being offered that makes snake oil seem like a daily dose like a multivitamin....Cable stands...try some blocks of wood... | |
| Turn table for my kid??? Oh, and there's also your local Habitat for Humanity. Our local here in Asheville gets some goodies in, but competition is fierce. I'm not the only one 'watching', and I live 1/4 mi. away....*L* |
