| Anntenna Question Let's take another look at the initial installation. That antenna is an omni (circular reception pattern) so as long as it's not mis-installed (somehow grounded to the mast) or defective, it should perform much better than the interior dipole. It ... | |

| Suggestions for making SILVER work in system? Bob you mentioned powercord changes possibly helping my situation with brightness and Silver cables? How would that help? Also, what brands do you recommend in the power cords? I have a PS audio P300 that doesn't recommend powercords with filters ... | |

| Suggestions for making SILVER work in system? Zex you've just encountered & described both the good & bad charactaristics of silver cables. If you like your components then by all means keep them; I wouldn't advise tuning a rig around those cables or any cables - it should actually be... | |
| any experience using bettercables? Rich I'm assuming that this is an AV rig with 4 (or more) speakers? That being the case, even if you relocated the power amp closer to (two of) the speakers & then ran longer interconnects in lieu of longer speaker cables, you'd still have two... | |
| Best three way cross over? Hi Mp: certainly you've thought about, or have even actually tried, to upgrade that offending crossover cap. with a different component of equal value capacitance but of better quality? There are a number of brands available (Solen, Hoveland, MIT ... | |
| any experience using bettercables? Hi Rich: A 40' speaker cable length is considered to be extremely long & is not a good thing for your sound. If there is no other way to shorten that distance (say by re-arranging the system within your room) then your should at least use a ne... | |
| B W Matrix 803s - Tighten up the bass Joel I was wondering if it could be possible that the entire carpeted wall is just absorbing too much? If the floor is also carpeted + the stuffed chair then the room may be overdamped? Seems like, if anything, that would adversely affect your hig... | |
| Mixing Silver and Copper cables -- Good or bad?? As noted, this is a highly nebulous area in which only experimentation can typically provide answers. There are no hard & fast rules, although there are perceived generalizations which *do apply a large amount of the time. Trial & error is... | |
| Cause of speaker static? Many good suggestions above... The likely noise source is the preamp itself. Tubes are indeed a possible suspect (if it's a tube pre). One thing I'd like to add is possible dirty/degraded switching contacts within the preamp. Suspect possible nois... | |
| Pre out main in splitting?Maybe a quot;well duh quot; Q Sure you can use an adapter as mentioned. However, unless your equipment is strictly bargain-basement level, you'll want to use quality hardware for best sonic performance.

| Tube Amp Recommendation Although I'm not very experienced with tube equipment, I am aware that an OTL type amp may be the only tube-type design that can drive a load of that nature. The OTL designs use no output transformer, but instead have a cathode follower output tub... | |
| B W Matrix 803s - Tighten up the bass After speaker positioning, next thought is to experiment with various different AC cords on pre/power amp (or integrated). Next is spiking your speakers to the floor; your stands are probably taking care of that? Also you might need to try some co... |
