| Avalon Eidolen VS Porac D80 or B&W 802D No get the Avalon, MUCH better speaker than the others mentioned IMHO.The Avalon when properly placed and driven will throw a HUGE soundstage with well defned holographic images. Tonally very neutral and detailed. The only area where the others mi... | |
| Seismometer on iPhone Thank you,Great Recommendation | |
| Denon 3910 vs Oppo blu ray uni player 3910 will be better on everything except blu ray which it does not do.Not even close on 2 channel audio performance.standard dvd would likely be a toss up, but the 3910 might be better. | |
| Tools to measure in room response Hi Kchiu,The standard tools, like the SPl meter from radio shack are fine.A better way IMHO is to get yourself an iPhone and buy the app for SPL meter. You can also buy a Real Time Analyzer application which will tell you frequency response from 2... | |

| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Mark Knopfler should be MUCH higher than 27. | |
| Mini cd system for $500? Teac Reference! | |
| HDMI confusion: Monoprice vs. Blue Jeans There are differences in HDMI cables. It does not mean that a $500 cable is better, but there certainly are differences. There are some very high performance cost effective cables out there too. Wireworld for instance. | |
| RIP J Gordon Holt Very, very sad!RIP and thanks for everything! | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? I have 2 20 amp dedicated circuits in my reference demo system and found the best solution was to plug the amp into the wall and everything else runs through my MIT Z-powerbar with the digital and video isolated from each other. | |
| How do MIT and Transparent cables differ? No information on Transparent, but lots on MIT.The network in the cbale is designed to prevent frequency roll off and keep phase consistent. Check out the technical white papers #1 and #2 at www.mitcables.com.Real world effect: extended highs, dee... |
