| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" As a newcomer to this forum, but not hifi, it's unfortunate that some here think hifi gear is immune from marketing hype and artificial price inflation.It would be very naive to think that some products - be they cd players, amplification, cables ... | |
| will the day come when? If you look at the fact that good old RB cd sales have stood up to over 20 years of other formats coming and going (eg. DCC, minidisc, and even mp3 and the recent stalling popularity of HDCD/SACD/DVD-A), there's your answer.Given the size of the C... | |
| HDTV widescreen - Grey bars on side, not black? Post this question under "Home Theatre" and you might get a few more responses. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Hi RidgeStreetAudio, I guess my definition of a tweak is altering the existing equipment in some way to make an incremental improvement. Replacing the supplied PC with an aftermarket upgrade is in my view a "tweak", just as upgrading speaker cable... | |
| Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi? Schipo, that's why I started the thread as "from your own experiences". I'm sure many have had success with secondhand speakers, but I had one rather costly exercise early on where I bought used speakers (good brand) that I later found out had bee... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System To Ridgestreetaudio, I appreciate all your replies, and I take on board the fact that many audiophiles genuinely hear a difference with every tweak they make to their system; I recently upgraded my speaker cables and can hear a definite improvemen... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I'm afraid I'll just have to wait for someone who does have the time to post some evidence. It must be nice to have endless funds to experiment with many different power cords "no matter how much they cost" and "custom made to my specs" as Joeyboy... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I appreciate the replies, but they still don't explain the apparent affect on the sound of a system. Once plugged into a wall socket, the power cable acts simply as a continuation of the power path from generation to your component's power supply ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System "09-16-06: SksosI'll throw-in my 2 cents worth (maybe it's already been said, I didn't read all 135 responses up to this point!). Power cords can make or break a system IMHO."I've asked before and will again; how can changing the last few feet of ... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Mark King (Level 42). He was the reason I started playing bass; great rhythmic slap technique, very quick, but also highly melodic player. | |
| Amp/ Pre-amp options for B&W 602 S3s + Bi-wire? If you haven't bought the amp yet, perhaps stray towards a more clinical sounding amp. I have a pair of 602 S3's powered by a NAD c320 amp, and find the sound just on the ok side of being too warm.The same amp through my old Infinity monitors was ... | |
| Power Cord for Satellite Receiver I have to think RW is spot on. It's easy to get drawn into spending big $$$ on fancy power cables, but if you stop to think what happens between your wall outlet and the power generation company, then that 1 meter from wall to component becomes pr... | |
| Is vinyl still a "perfect" source? Thanks Johnnyb53, where you said, "As for LP versions of digital recordings, I STILL prefer the LPs over the CD versions. Digital recordings today are made at 88.2 KHz sampling or higher--up to 2.7 MHz for DSD. Many are made at 24/96 KHz or 24/192... | |
| bi wiring Here's why biwiring works...For those who know a bit about the different video cables (stay with me!), the worst is composite. That's because the color and luminance signals have to travel together down the one cable and interfere with each other.... |
