| Cable length Dammit Spluta, you &*/@#? !!!Thanks Sean. It would be nice to collect into one place all of the audio myths, bad information, and questionnable conventional wisdom. Shouldn't take more than a terabyte or so. | |
| Cable length A few people around here (Sean, I think) have argued for long speaker cables. What are the technical arguments? | |
| Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me? It's often a balancing act between detail and fatigue-free sound. I understand it's possible to get it all, but it hasn't yet happened for me. | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Actually, I sometimes prefer the sound of a component when I first put it in the system to after it's been in for a while. (This my be related to "change" and not to break in per se.) With cables, for example, I have had the experience of making a... | |
| Up grade to Dodson 218 ?? My assessment of the latest upgrade is that it is certainly worthwhile at $400. To me, the Dodson sounds more refined, less mechanical, more analog-like. more involving than before. | |
| Who sings "carry on" in Sony TV commercial? Maybe it was produced specifically for the commercial and is a no-name artist. We probably need to hunt down the approrpriate Sony ad agency. | |
| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? I'm thinking I might do just that, JD. | |
| help with harshness / brightness - cary 303-100 With all due respect to Ohlala, you do not need a tube preamp to get unfatiguing sound from the Cary CDP, especially with the Plinius integrated. | |

| help with harshness / brightness - cary 303-100 I know both the Cary and the Plinius, though not together. I can't imagine they would be bright. Something else must be going on. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Jeez, that was terrific. Who are you? | |
| Inverted Polarity Correction Question Timo was joking, of course, since all that would accomplish is to reverse left and right channels. It would have no effect whatsoever on polarity. | |
| Power strip manufacturers? I've got some of the Albert Porter cryo specials coming, so maybe the DIY approach is in order. But I need some guidance re: how the wiring is done: star config? (How is that done?) Do I hardwire in a power cord or put in an IEC connector? Etc. | |
| Review: Bryston 4B-ST Amplifier Bravo, Fzxguy! | |
| What do you think about this cable company? The manufacturer's policy is not unreasonable, and the distributor may have overstepped his authority in extending the offer to you.What boggles me about this whole story is the notion of manufacturers approaching us Audiogoners and asking us to w... |
