Double your pleasure with same cable throughout?
MertennisYou know i actually began an effort in constructing some spkr wires... flat ribbons. trust me, being handy ain't all there is to generating great cables. addressing issues such as inductance, capacitance, resitantce and impedance is no mi... 
Question about shunyata Taipans and copperheads.
I can't attest to the previous versions of the Taipan apart from a pair of the Taipan Alpha with the clear coated coverings on the wires that I had attached to my amp for a couple weeks. that was some time back too... maybe two years ago.... Howev... 
Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know?
In the "For what it's worth" department, I suppose I should follow up on my querry based upon actual comparisons and an at length monolouge to that end will soon be posted in the reivews section here at Audiogone. Suffice it to say that personal e... 
Best cheap projector for small HT.
Stylin.... mucho thanks.... that all makes sense to me. If overall, I can't do this thing for under two grand +/- a tad, I'd likely not do it.Maintenance and adjustments? Bulb life? If it isn't slam dunk easy, OSD adjustments in step by step promp...

Thanks, Unsound, and Myrai...that's funny unsound. but, you've a good point. I never thought along that tact. I will now.Myrai... ever deal with that joint? I've seen some outlandish pricing online but have been reticent to get serious with any th... 
Double your pleasure with same cable throughout?
The aforementioned 'reviews' as to which and what led to my ultimate IC choice are now being posted as 'reviews' in the member review section as promised. Several are up currently, and a few more on the way and should be up shortly, so if you're a... 
Double your pleasure with same cable throughout?
Epilog ...Finally! A somewhat surprising end to the currrent dilema of "Double Your Pleasure", 'same brand throughout or not... there may well be a more difinitive study around somewhere on this topic. there should be too. Although a goodly portio... 
Ground Isolation, removing sibelance.
Thanks, Bbaxley2. Will do. I think however instead of quieting things with a $40 - $50 strip + a $200 cord... I'll try to get a iso transformer or filltered strip... but it is most appreciated. ...and as I've been experiencing some intermittent ou... 
Double your pleasure with same cable throughout?
thanks Doug... if you say so... I appreciate it.ON the "two much of a good thing"... given the very limited trials I've been able to perform in my IC hunt... there definitely is that possibility. As with the MIT M3 + M3 exercise, I agree... curret... 
Best for Least: Power strip, what's best?
Thanks, Everybody.As Ive a need for digital functionality, and the $200 level allows for some 'more than a strip' strips, perhaps some other 'inexpensive' power/conditioning items should be ferrited out. Pardon the pun. I was of the understanding ... 
Best for Least: Power strip, what's best?
Riffer, many thanks... yes I did mean without conditioning... just want to prevent some low voltage items from introducing anything bad, back into the power supply... (lots of PC peripherals, and fiber optics stuff)- I'll look into the ones you me... 
Ground Isolation, removing sibelance.
thanks a lot Bbaxley2 I got the part from Parts Express the other day and put it into the main cable feeding the house... things are far better now. That was of immense help. I didn't bother to pursue any other more expensive produtcs as the Parts... 
Ground Isolation, removing sibelance.
stehno thanksAll the gear I run, except for the PC gear, is on dedicated ckts. I may have had some issue previous to the Verizon installation, yet it was not detectable. Regardless the volume. Even the main power for the monitor, tower, and a coup... 
Double your pleasure with same cable throughout?
Unclejeff...I'm with you. I've been a doubting thomas for some time in terms of wires. Extensive electrical background plays a part there for me. But ove the last few years I've found far too many examples of different cable makers offerings that ... 
Double your pleasure with same cable throughout?
Thanks Doug.Given you made one change in a power cord, and the result was significantly noticeable, I’d say the MIT speaker wires you have did their job. They allowed the impact of the change to become apparent. I’d say that’s a good thing. I’ve n...
