| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? Psychicanimal, Would you please provide references/documentation for this statement: "It's in the very last feet that the electric particles/waveform gets shaped prior to entering the audio component."Don't hear more than I'm saying. I'm not chall... | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? Different wire guages, certainly, and different types of insulation so that some must be run in conduit, other run in open, etc. depending on local codes.We're absolutely in agreement on this point: Buy what you can hear.will | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? With respect, Sugarbrie, your observation is (1) not correct and (2) not directed to the point I was making. There is no legal or regulatory definition of the term "hospital grade." The way that one COULD get into difficulty would be to advertise ... | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? OK, guys. I can stifle my comments about some of the arguments presented here but this "hospital grade" stuff is over the top. How many of you really know what "hospital grade" means?Simply put, "hospital grade" refers to:(1) Current carrying capa... | |
| Aren't passive radiators out of phase? Great info, Bear! Thanks for sharing. | |

| Stereo, hi fidility, ultra hifidelity ? Patrick, I haven't used vinyl in years but I sure applaud your taste in music.will | |
| Aren't passive radiators out of phase? Sean (or anybody knowledgable about such things),At what cabinet size and/or radiator size does hysteresis become an issue? I would think that in a big cabinet or with a big passive radiator, the response of the radiator to movement of the active ... | |
| PS Audio vs. Monster - cleaning up the power I was blown away by the improvement to both audio and video by the addition of a Monster 5000 to my HT system. Perhaps other power conditioners are even better but the Monster meets my needs very nicely and the price on the 5000 is definitely righ... | |
| Paradigm or Energy Have heard them both and, to my ears, the Paradigms are the better by a significant margin. Less coloration and more dynamic presentation. I'm currently using Paradigm Studio 100v2 for my HT mains, and Studio ADP and CC for surrounds and center, r... | |
| Regrets A pair of Stromberg Carlson folded horns in immaculate condition with SOLID (not veneer) rosewood cabinets. Sounded like crap but antique furniture to die for!will | |
| Bose makes more than speakers... Bose makes quite nice noise cancelling headsets for use by pilots or anyone else needing reliable voice communications in noisy environments. Their big competitor is David Clark. Both are horribly overpriced, as are most aviation manufacturers. | |
| CD-R's suddenly "unreadable". I suspect it is the laser transport rather than the laser diode that "wears out." | |
| Do power cords really matter? I ordinarily defer to Sean in matters technical, finding him a knowledgable and reliable guide. But here he is wrong. The power cord is not an extension of the equipment power supply, it is the termination at the equipment of a long transmission l... | |
| Amp for Paradgim Studio 100 Thanks for the clarification, Celery. I certainly do not see the 100s as the be all and end all of reproducers, though I'm very happy with them in my HT setup. I find that many folks who accuse them of having a hot top end really are hearing a rat... |
