| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink I have read an interesting comment on the lifatec silflex website saying that the quality of Plastic Optical Fiber is so good that we are not giving up in performance using plastic over glass, especially over 3 feet!In addition, the Toshiba opto e... | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink however, the red LED looks better, smoother, easier to look at at the end of the monster cable plastic monofilament than at the end of the 280 strands glass cable I have.In theory, glass is better to conduct light, no doubt, but I bet that the str... | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink Yes - I know... glass I have tried were the sonicwave and another one... ihave got to try the silflex then someday. | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink To me, plastic sounds the best. I have tried many times multi-strands glass, and and the plastic always comes right back in my system because it sounds more coeherent, more balanced without edgy trebles.Keep in mind that Toslink connections were c... | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? Actually, dealers "break-in" speakers and electronics before auditions.Yes, speakers do continuously change. The largest changes (and the most noticeable) happen during the first hours of use. Like any other electronic or and mechanical device. | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? I bought a pair of rs5 last september. Fantastic speaker. This is the best compromise I ever got in my house.Best way to break them in is to play at low to moderate level all sources -movies & music for the first 50 hours and gradually increas... | |
| REGA RS5... any owner? Thank you Jceaves... I got them about 2 months ago and I love them! I have been playing many speakers over the years (a pair every year pretty much... magnepan, dynaudio, bw, martin logan, psb, polk, bose, jmlab, vandersteen, definitive, paradigm,... | |
| Magneplanar MG12: good for my room ? MG12 are a suberb set of speakers... hard to equal.Just remember that they are VERY directional. In other words, you hear them how you face them. If you have furniture obstructing your view of the panel in the sweet spot, forget it. There are othe... | |

| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Innovative disco, before the "disco sucks".Plus, the lyrics speak more today than they di back then. | |
| Is Monster cable getting better? I have heard a much better sound out of my son's electric guitar and my Roland v-drum set with monster cable. They offer a lot of improvements compared to the cheap interconnects found in music stores in terms of NOISE, dynamics and clarity. | |
| Rega RS1 and RS3 speakers I juSt got a pair of RS5 yesterday. They must have about 30-40 hours of play time at low volume.I have not spend time listening much music yet, but watched a blu-ray last night.Very nice sounding: clear, detailed, reasonably clean low bass. They a... | |
| Your impressions on Paradigm Studio 60 v5? Thank you all for your comments... I thought the studio 40 were a bit too forward, good resolution, yes, but forward, loud. The PSBs are a lot more laidback, mellow, pleasant, but for one who's owned middle-range Magnepan, Martin Logan, b&w, d... | |

| Advice for first pair of Maggies I have owned both MMGs and MG12s.The MG12s are a big step above. The MMGs are fantastic for the money.I would consider a 2x200watts amp minimum. Because the MMGS is a very stable load, you don't need a super expensive amp. A pro amp will do.I woul... |
