| Speaker cable arrows??? OK all, I'm officially tired of this thread. I would like to thank jea48 for his gentlemanly responses and his attitude. Jeff, I really wish I could understand which side of a question you are arguing after reading your posts. But I guess that's w... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? @jea48 Jim, I really do appreciate your thoughtful answer. I'm not the smartest guy in the world (you heard it here first) but I am pretty well educated in math, physics, chemistry and metallurgy. Every explanation I have heard of signal direction... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? @jea48 What's the point of linking back to this very thread? I have asked you twice to please explain to me how signal directionality happens or is possible in a passive cable. All you have done is ask me to re-read the yours and others opinions o... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? The signal energy travels down the cables in one direction >>>> from the source to the load, (amp to speakers), in the form of an electromagnetic wave. @jea48 dude, you really might want to take a remedial physics class. I will ask ... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? You guys are hilarious. Speaker cable directionality - it IS possible to intentionally design and construct a "directional cable", but not as a passive device. Think about it: does your directional cable possess differing impedance in either direc... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @baranyi Yes, that is true. It's especially challenging in that the boss asked me to reduce the amount of audio gear visible in the living room. She might as well have asked me to remove a leg. I can do it, but why???Anyway, I found a great deal o... | |
| Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers I always recommend omnidirectional speakers for small and problematic rooms. Speakers featuring off-axis drivers work with the room better and off-axis reflections make the room sound larger. An additional benefit is that many of these speakers pr... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @atmasphere I have not heard the Classic audio speakers in years and I couldn't describe their sound accurately now. I do remember them being very good horn speakers.I have had some Sound Labs in for an extended period when I had my dealership. Go... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @atmasphere: If you have a means of designing a speaker to favor a certain genre of music, its likely that you also have derived a new branch of physics. Ralph, I believe I agreed with you in my last post regarding speaker design.I will simply sa... | |

| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post I love Luxman gear but I wanted an integrated amp that could drive my stupidly inefficient (down to 2Ω) Shahinian Obelisks. I also prefer tube preamps and balanced inputs. I found a clean, used BAT VK-300x (6922 tube version) for a song on fleabay... | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. ...the PF-1000 and 800 are great turntables.I would say good turntables IMO, not great. The main problem is that the integrated tonearms for these decks were designed for very high compliance cartridges that were all the rage on Japanese consumer ... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? Just a casual survey: how many of you that want to own RTR decks do or would own a preamp withour a remote control? Just curious... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? You guys crack me up. Sure, RTR sounds great, when it does. But what does it take to get there? Lots of work, parts and mostly $$$. It's like golf - it's supposed to be fun. Until the day you realize that you will probably never get to your perfor... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? @badgerms4Have you ever imported a product into the U.S. from another country for the purpose of resale? No, I didn't think so. Please review this: USITC Harmonized Tariff Information. Some import tariffs that importers (distributors) have to pay ... |
