Hifi Tuning Fuses
Ghosthouse, go ahead and do some experimenting with cables. You won't regret it. You can make some very nice upgrades to your sound with reasonably priced used cables from this site. But, do not skimp on ratio of quality of cables to the rest of y... 
Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Been gone to China and Vietnam for two weeks...Back for a while now. I have almost been dying to say something ahead of time, but had to bite my tongue. While this thread has been developing, I had been finishing up a review of power cabling from ... 
Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Stltains, You're quite right. I'm willing to lay off the rhetoric, to let go of the argument. This is a very interesting thread, and I also hope it continues to reveal some good experiences people have had using cables. 
Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Rwwear, I MADE A JOKE and you took the opportunity to turn it into a serious condemnation of religion, something that the majority of people in the world consider valuable and personal! Can't see that? Can't you see that your "opinion" was off top... 
Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Rwwear, I find your comment personally insulting. I am tempted to respond in kind, but I won't as it does nothing to promote good will or advance our hobby. If you've got a grievance with faith, keep it to yourself! Your comment has the effect of ...

Maybe cars should come without tires, too, so people can personalize the performance. ;) Then, you only have to spend an additional $1,500-3,000 to get the vehicle to work.If equipment came without cables, what would all the "cable atheists" do? I... 
Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact?
Zippyy, You have a very fine rig! You really owe it to yourself to experiment with some decent cabling! Especially power cords, since they can be had for far less than many speaker cables. With your set up I'm sure you'd hear a difference! I agree... 
Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact?
Zippyy, Yes, we can be cordial. No skin off our backs, eh? I agree w. Tvad that we could spend thousands of keystrokes. I'll add about 100. Your comment: So, based on that thought, all the tens of thousands of dollars that (we) spend on equipment ... 
Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact?
(Note: I am not attacking Zippyy in this diatribe, but rather Dr. Howard Johnson!)Zippyy coyly lays out the link and sits back to watch...The above link, that of the interview with Howard Johnson, PhD, I see as weakly pertinent to our discussion. ... 
Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact?
The best speaker cables in the world and best IC's cannot atone for sins made upstream. i.e. If the source's signal is ruined for lack of serious power cables, then one is fighting a mighty battle trying recoup what's been lost. Wireless200, I hav... 
Jena labs better or worse?
You may find some useful descriptions of the Jena Labs cable sound from my review of the Jazz, Java and Bumblebee products (one article) on Dagogo.com 
Seeking best digital amp for $2000
FYI, I respectfully submit that I wrote a review of the Channel Islands D200 monos for Dagogo.com 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
Saygrr, DO NOT be apologetic for your hobby! Stop frowning and feeling bad for yourself! I've met you and know from what I've seen that you're a considerate and softly spoken man. You tend to speak as though you're apologetic, and people will take... 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
An individual who lives right near me has 36,000 discs and albums. No, that is not a typo, he has 36,000 of them. When he told me I thought for sure he meant 3,600, but he corrected me on that. He described the cabinets and shelving necessary to h... 
Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters?
Kennyt, No doubt; the HDMI connection certainly is not the most secure I've seen, and those miniscule conductors are accidents waiting to happen. I can certainly understand situations where the stress on a connector can potentially harm a piece of...
