| $1 a foot cable: 10awg no-name or 14awg brand? Inside every brand name cable there is a core of wire that come from the same plant (give and take) as the one in the DIY spool. A 99.9997 OFC copper is what it is. Then it is the treatment, strand wrapping, twisting then packaging and merchandisi... | |
| Most neutral speaker cable for less than $5 a foot Thanks, I failed to realise that you ATCs were active! anyway, seems that you put your money where you joke is and do not blow $000s in cables. I will take your suggestion seriously then! | |
| Replacing Forests??? Sub-less is more often than not the way to go for 2ch audio when one owns speakers of that quality. As I like to say, better restricted yet outstanding low end than muddy lower bass. In my book, there is nothing worse than a low end out of control... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Jh2os: my former response was posted before your last two. Connecting to the DVD will not give you volume control of the sub so this will likely not work. A sub out , unlike a tape loop, has variable volume that goes with the L/R output volume.Tur... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Jh2os and Walkman, the answer is not what you are looking for but what about moving out of your chair and turning it on/off (in the case of someone using same amp for 2ch or HT) or plug/unplug (in case you own a 2ch amp and a receiver)- depending ... | |
| Most neutral speaker cable for less than $5 a foot Shadorne: what do you use on your $15,000 ATC speakers? I am leaning more toward the "cheap cable do it right anyway" side but always curious to see what people use behind their own doors. You forgot: a thief will make your speaker disappear. Than... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Jh2os: Yes, set up sub to yes/on and speaker to small via the DVD player. This should remove those bass that could damage Hawks when too loud. My theory about subs is that either you go for the real musical sub that will costs min $750 used or you... | |
| List of Floorstanders around $6500.00 NEW I second Tyler Linbrook Sig or Taylo Ref3 and it is a mystery to me why folks living in the US who have the possibility to simply return the Tyler within 20 days for a full refund (except shipping) do not systematically put these on their list. I ... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Jh2os: I think there is a way to settle on all this: get a sub for HT and set up the Hawk as "small" for HT. You will still benefit from their midrange magic and preserve their integrity for 2ch audio full-range. In the budget sub - if like me you... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Grakesh: what I am about to say is very relative to one's ear but Cary and VTL are not, in general for me at least, your typical lush warmish sounding tube gear (not a CJ) and they can have a more "neutral" sound than some solid state. The dealer ... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Jh2os: that is interesting! The loaner I had came with no instructions but the dealer warned me and my HT need were better served by the AP. I am a real fan of Totem products and their designer but a $2,000 floorstander that cannot take an occasio... | |
| Best lines in a song Each man has his price Bob And yours was pretty low ANDYou've got to be trusted by people that you lie to so when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in.Roger Waters | |
| Speaker upgrade suggestions Audio Physic Yara used in the sub $1,000 slim modest floorstanders is a very good choice that will blow away your beewee. They can rock solid if needed and have a big neutral sound. Bohlender Radia Z7 are said to be in the same league and much che... | |
| Replacing Forests??? JH2os: sorry to hear about your sad experience. I got bashed for starting a thread re: Forest using Swan's drivers but I guess there may be an issue with quality control somewhere between China and Montreal...A year and a half ago, I had to let go... | |
