| Too good a post to waste More to the point, people vilify Stereo Review simply because they fixate on Julian Hirsch. Anyone who took his writings as gospel is either easily lead or fooled (your choice). I started reading Stereo Review in 1970, simply for the music revi... | |
| Too good a post to waste It’s interesting that people feel the need to totally write-off Stereo Review simply because of Julian Hirsch. Did you ever actually READ any of the music section? The magazine also provided long, and involved music articles from authors like: Les... | |
| Romex to your amp? Not quite right...the zoning departments do have the ability to enforce zoning compliance. I never said they didn’t have the ability to enforce zoning compliance which is totally different than complying with a building code. I was addressing the ... | |
| Romex to your amp? And, It IS federal law. NO. The NEC is NOT Federal Law. If it was a Federal law it would be a CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) and it's not. Local building codes are also not laws. Local building codes generally reference national codes like... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? So much envy and resentment in such a small space. That’s what I find appalling. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I'd suggest listening to a Balanced Audio Technology VK655SE. It is two separate amplifiers in a single chassis (dual mono design). Each amp in the chassis has its own power supply with its own power cord. The design is fully balanced with zero ... | |
| Moderately priced audio Your 1970, $1,000 system is about $7,000 today. I would venture that if you spend your $7,000 carefully, you can easily get a system that sounds better than the 1970 $1,000 system. I started out in 1970 with a system that cost about $700 - and th... | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) No multi-channel anything sounds as good as 2 channel.Not true. The Balanced Audio Technology VK-6200 sounds as good as any 2-channel amp in stereo - and there’s a reason for this. The VK-6200 is a chassis that you populate with the number of chan... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers The speaker that made Ann Arbor, Michigan famous! Yeah...because NO ONE would associate the University of Michigan with Ann Arbor...it took a stereo speaker to really put the city on the map...sure... | |

| How good is your system "My system is so good, I can hear Marcel Marceau" - with and without his gloves on? | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I'm neither a skeptic nor a believer in power cables. I'm listening to my system that has about $3K in after market power cables from several different manufacturers simply because I don't want to not have the best interface to power I can afford... | |
| Is it all in my head?? At this point, I'm ambivalent about cables and power cords. I keep hoping to hear a change in my system if I swap cables or power cords, but I'm never quite sure I hear anything different in the sound. I don't have an inexpensive system, and hav... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? ...in the form of an electromagnetic wave comprised of photons...Can you explain how photons travel through wire? Then can you explain how passively monitoring the classic double slit experiment changes the results? | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? Listed = NRTL , UL is just one example.While there are other testing laboratories, they're going to test the product for compliance with UL Standards, as compliance with UL safety standards is what allows you to buy product liability insurance. |
