Spkr cbls & IC's-must they be same brand Redkiwi: I am about to try some Synergistic Research interconnects, yes...don't expect much, though. But, I don't see why it should necessarily be presumed that the speaker cables should "only" work with MIT interconnects (your'e thinking that onl... | |
Spkr cbls & IC's-must they be same brand Yes, Redkiwi. And, how very astute that you remembered which cables I thought did not synergize well. Of course it was in my system context (always must be taken into consideration...most of us know this, of course), and I suspect that in a laid b... | |
CD Copies...why do they sound worse? Yes, if we could all enjoy what we have, we'd be happier and better off. | |
Anybody tried the new AQ speaker cables? Too many guys are trying these right now, but I'll get my chance soon. | |
CD Copies...why do they sound worse? Jeff, I've made CD-R's on the computer too, and you have to make sure it's not writing them at several times normal speed. I did it at like 30x once, and yes, that sounds terrible, and even a deaf person could hear that difference in a blind test ... | |
CD Copies...why do they sound worse? Craig, I definitely do not believe that the edges are crisper on a CD-R. You have to understand that a CD-R is made while it's spinning, and CD's are stamped. It would be that the stamped ones have the crisper edges (all things being equal...which... | |
Why has Netflix gotten greedy? Nahh, they're just trying to screw me, that's all. Otherwise, they wouldn't force me to pay their minimum. None of my local video stores carry more than 150 titles, so that's not a consideration. NETFLIX NEEDS COMPETITION ON THE NET, and I hope I'... | |
Worst Music of All-Time KGB, I like Kiss and Aerosmith! I like Ratt too! And Kiss IS throwing in the towel, so there! They were very good, I saw them last month in concert (the sound sucked, of course). I did hate the hell outta that song Aerosmith did for Armageddon, th... | |
North Creek DIY projects I don't have their kits, but do own some of their huge crossover coils. They're the real deal, and if you like DIY, you should go for it. One of my own designs (not finished yet, if it were a kit, it would be completed by now...) uses the Scanspea... | |
Spkr Cble- Analysis Oval 9- reviews? Guess I'm the only one that thinks they suck. I'm OK with that, and I believe you guys are liking what you hear, too (I never doubt anyone's observations in their own systems). I'm just saying I've compared them to the competition, like 8TC, T-3, ... | |
Spkr cbls & IC's-must they be same brand Not always. Usually it's just a dealer trying to keep you from buying something he doesn't carry. It's always quickest and easiest to get you in, get you out, and on to the next customer...if you just buy whatever they say, and keep it all in the ... | |
CD Copies...why do they sound worse? There was a thread recently, where they thought the copies actually sounded "better". (CDR's don't use aluminum as the substrate, it's a photosensitive chemical layer). I don't think there are any simple answers to your questions! It's definitely ... | |
Mapleshade Recordings Mapleshade has a website, www.min.net/~cdmaple. I have several, but feel the labels that use the XRCD process are better recorded. Reference Recordings' label is nice if you like classical, but I feel that their treble range is wrong (it's in the ... | |
How Flat is Flat? Sol, all I can say is experiment. Alex, if your timing is right, it's better to buy direct from ASC, although they might not sell to you if you have a dealer in your area...I don't know. I feel that the 16 inch full round traps would be adequate f... | |
Speaker Cable Recommendation Sol, I use MIT 330 Shotgun, both RCA and Proline (my linestage is rca only right now, when I use it). The Proline is the best bang for the buck, I got this 2 meter pair for $550 used. There might be something out there better for the price, but I'... |
