Intermitent audio cutouts??
Thx Mofi! I'll try that. Based on what I just read on the internet, the only change you can make to the audio is 2 channel or surround. None the less, I will start there.Next option is to switch out the nova pre with my z dac and lightspeed pre an... 
Intermitent audio cutouts??
To add a bit to this question, the audio is only cutting out for a short period of time (maybe .5 - 1 second) at a time, and only while watching tv using the comcast x1 cable box. I'm wondering if this is due to high amounts of jitter or is it a b...

I have been switching between some svetlanna 6550's and electro harmonix el88's. I prefer the el88's bass and highs. The svetlanna 6550's can make some vocals sound really nice, and possibly image better, but they make some rock music sound awful....

Thanks for the replies! I think I'll eventually build a pair. They are pretty inexpensive and I'd like to try a full range, crossoverless transmission line just to see what they are like. Btw, those zigmahornets look pretty awesome, just too far b... 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
Honestly, I considered the wavetouch speakers and may consider them again someday soon. Ivan, your post sounds like spam, or an infomercial. You go on and on about how great these speakers are (which they may be!) only to say you've never actually... 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
Ivan,You just wrote a huge response selling the idea of wavetouch speakers, talking about how great they are, and then you say you haven't even heard them...really dude?

Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction
I could tell a difference eith the synergistic cups. I was at rmaf 2 years ago and did a/b testing with them. I could tell a difference. Night and day? No, but then again, how many tweaks do we do in order to gain a slight improvement? Quite a few... 
Need a warm amp for bright speakers
To add to my previous post, of course anything I say here is just my humble oppinion and my experiences with different components and speakers in my room to my ears :-)The paradigm signature series with the berrylium tweeters are a completely diff... 
Need a warm amp for bright speakers
Perhaps he sells Nad and audioquest, lol.lets buy cables that have no highs in order to tame an overlybright speaker? Makes no sense to me...Again, the 6 pairs of paradigms I've owned over the past 2 years have all been hot. Kinda like real housew...
