| Preamp Deal of the Century Mamba is a dealer for these BV things. He has spammed a few forums over the past few days. I do not think this is an acceptable use of the Audiogon forums. Guess I'll email the powers that be. | |

| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Hshapiro - GREAT! I think we have come to a meeting of the minds. Thanks for your objectivity! Hey....

| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Hshapiro - now we're getting somewhere. Sorry for coming across as having an elitist attitude. In a way, all audiophiles are to some extent elitist in their views. We would be hard pressed to find a dedicated audiophile who was satisfied with the ... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Nrchy - Cables are a controversial subject and people get their feathers in a bunch when a topic like "Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck" hits the forum.There are so many perceptions, so many quasi-theorys and lots of BS floating ar... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Hshapiro on to tone... What I said was surely very confusing. Especially since most people perceive tone as a pair of knobs which add or subtract from bass and treble.To me, tone is much more significant in that it encompasses or provides for the ... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Hshapiro its your turn. I will address both the issues you have with me in two posts. This post addresses the issue regarding what I said in my original post on 08-26-02.First off, you either mis-quoted me or mis-interpreted what I said. You can e... | |

| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? Audioengr - One thing I have learned in Audio is that measurements aren't necessarily worth the paper they're printed on. What measures good usually - in most cases -doesn't sound good. Measurements don't tell the whole story.I trust my ears and n... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Audioengr - re-read the post. I was being sarcastic to Hshapiro... I think you are confusing who said what.And.. in the process confusing yourself... see below.. I know what you intended to say and it makes sense but reads a little strange. Audioe... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Hshapiro - for a guy with Spectral gear and who has been "required" to use MIT cables for a long time... until you risked using VD.... You sure seem convinced that you know a lot about cables. Having only two cables in your system, how did you get... | |

| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. One of the reasons why the Pass X-350 sounded better than the MC-2000 on the B&W Sig 800's is obviously the power increase. The B&W's are hungry for power and the MC-2000 is a bit of a wussy. See... the comparison between 350 watts vs. 130... | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? Thanks Albertporter! Please - don't expect the plates to make an improvement. They will however add a noticable and somewhat annoying brightness to your system. Hopefully this will help folks understand how mechanical resonance can play a signific... |
