| Looking for how to best structure classified listing for 3 Chiro separates for sale That is a super deal for this equipment. I bought the same setup new and have used the C-800 as a 2-channel preamp using the "Bypass" mode and it was quite good, in fact very good. You might wish to include that in your ad if you have had the same... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I’m sure that we all will sleep better knowing that you are protecting us from psych-effects, dynaquest. Dave | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Once again dynaquest, you missed the point. It is not important whether or how anyone regards your, my, or anyone else's point of view. It is important that they listen for themselves and decide for themselves.Dave | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "Who do you think I’m going to put credibility in?"Your narcisism prevents you from understanding that neither I, nor anyone else, cares with whom you place credibility.My challenge is limited to your continuous diatribe that other people cannot p... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Geez Bo. Sigh.Telling everyone else that they are audio neanderthals and that the only systems that create accurate depth and "emotion" are those of your design is a good bit over the edge. Get a grip. Was not your mental database of what you cons... | |
| Should I upgrade to XLR interconnects? Hi Alan,Where do you derive your certainty that this is the case? Marantz’s literature indicates otherwise, but does fall short of stating that the preamp is fully differentially balanced as they do for the disc player. Were I the OP, I would chec... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Yeah, I read it all. "The psyco-placebo effect personified.". My point exactly. Based on his opening, the author was intent on proving there are no differences, thus he proclaimed to hear none.Do you think that your trite and worn out contentions,... | |
| Should I upgrade to XLR interconnects? "Some argue that...- single ended designs are simpler (i.e. no XLR circuitry) and therefore reproduce music more faithfully.- some components with balanced I/O’s may be single ended designs under the covers and therefore do not capitalize on the b... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? And it starts:"Most of you know I’m not a believer in the sonic enhancements attributed to fancy, expensive cables."Then it ends:"If there is an “unbelievable” change, someone is juicing the results."I love objective reporting.

| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "manufactures don't have a box of capacitors and another box of audio cables in the factory and start the day by saying "mmmm, let me see if this sounds nice" - everything is built to specifications using components that have a range of tolerances... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "I won’t dismiss it out of hand until I experiment myself."That statement right there negates all of the speculative bluster throughout this thread. Well said, Todd.Dave | |
| Should I upgrade to XLR interconnects? The devil is in the details here. Manufacturers call XLR inputs "balanced" in their literature, whether or not the circuitry design is truly differentially balanced or not. If your gear is not differentially balanced, it probably uses an opamp in ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? If you think that more expensive cables don’t represent a good value, then don’t buy them! Why the crusader-like fervor ridiculing the choices of others that feel and act differently regarding how they choose to participate in this HOBBY? Some of ... | |
| Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass? "In-line passive filters before the amplifier."Okay Kenny. Thanks for the clarification.Dave | |
| Wilson Audio Haters "With small 8" woofers obviously you need a subwoofer."I guess Jim Thiel (RIP) did not get that memo. The CS5 he designed used 8" woofers and measured flat at 30Hz, -3db at 25Hz, and -5db at 20Hz.Dave |
