It's called the ole placebo effect.I participate(from time to time) in collecting data on control vs real vs placebo.We see this kind of thing all the time.The mind is a powerful tool and people are just sooo convinved by things they perceive but ... | |
| ESOTERIC X-03 VS. AYRE C5XE I think you no exactly what I was getting at.There are oodles of threads about mods.I was hoping this wouldn't be another one highjacked by the mod squad. | |
| ESOTERIC X-03 VS. AYRE C5XE Karltoo There is no mention of mods etc because the thread title is "esoteric x-03 vs ayre c5xe ". I think everyone is growing very weary of the plugs for other gear/mods . There are many threads to post your plug for mods. I too want to read opin... | |

| SACD Player Shootout I listened to the linn unidisk at a dealer for about an hour on an all linn system.I tried all sorts of discs.I couldn't understand how this unit received great reviews cause it sounded like an elcheapo player to me.I would have guessed it around ... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? Yes, Apogees are in a class by themselves.I don't own a pair but I heard a set and I never forgot it.Nothing I have heard approaches the transient response of the apogees. | |
| "The B&W Sound" I have heard many people complain about B+W as well.I have both the martix 801s series 3 and nautilus 802s.The 801s are awesome.I initially hated the 802s but then I played around with the frontend etc.Now the nautilus are the best speakers I have... | |
| Dedicated power,long power cords - waste of time? The only advantage to dedicated lines is the fact that you have more available power.However audio components use very little power so I doubt it is neccessary unless you are running multiple amps for a H.T setup as I am. A dedicated line does not... | |
| Anthem Statement D1 vs. Arcam AV8 I haven't heard the arcam but after hearing the statement D1 I bought it immediately.It is truly an amazing pre/pro and SOOOOO easy to use.I think anthem has all the other manufacturers running back to their R+D departments.I know a dealer who car... | |
| Cables for B&W Nautilus 802 replace your interconnects from your anthem to your amp with about a 30 foot run of elcheapo balanced lines( about 50 dollars should do it).Just buy mic cable from a music shop. I will bet 20-1 odds your problem will be greatly reduced if not cure... | |

| Need advice ono a Tube preamp I see some tube preamps have one tube,some 2 and some 4.I only need a line stage preamp.I would also prefer balanced outputs.As I am trying to warm up the mids and highs a bit is it better to have more tubes? Or does the number of tubes even matter? | |

| Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub? I have a highend H.T setup which I have run both ways.I use B+W 801s for mains.I can tell you a good sub still makes a huge difference.I am using a paradigm servo 15 and an Anthem D1 pre/pro.You can spend alot more for a sub but I doubt you will g... | |
