| Modifying Crossovers This used to be a VERY sore point for me. I got so tired of seeing SO Called High End Brand Names using something similar to Cat5 wire and a single off the shelf Radio Shack quality capacitor inside. I sincerely hope that this is a thing of the pa... | |
| EBAY MONEY BACK.......WHAT A JOKE ??? I had to giggle at p05129 for suggesting PayPal. Those thieves are as bad if not worse than Ebay. They are in it for them selves and the companies that pay them under the table. I have even had more than one company like MalwareBytes that told me... | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? Though this won't include Rock or some Acid Jazz, it is simple for me. The perfect level is found when you look for the soft passages, often found quite noticeable in classical music, and set that at a comfortable but yet soft volume i those porti... | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers I like Elrod's response, and would like to include that component placement is done in a certain way to achieve certain results. I don' tthink you will be going to jail if you turn your speakers upside down. You likely also cut the labels off of y... | |
| Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands? I wouldn't mind seeing something like that but this is maybe 10% listed here! just like one person said, Where is XXX Brand. And to those who say there can be no consensus. That might just be because there is NO Consensus on what constitutes pers... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? What is really needed. How much is too much or too little? After I recently upgraded my AV center I had a left over NAD so I put it in my bedroom, hoping to liven up the Television there. A couple of days ago I was watching the TV W/O the NAD and ... | |
| Making speakers “disappear”….. I would like to remind you that there is no EASY answer to this question and Much of any answer must include the design of the speaker. Your speakers design is a Major factor in what treatment is needed in your room. I was just discussing with a f... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? Mitch2 Yes You are correct about CAT cable. The reason I mentioned it was that My first pair of good sounding cables were DIY from CAT5e cable, 27 pairs braided into one homogenous cable. There wasn't ANY measurable Inductance and the Capacitance... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? Mitch2 I guess next time you will have to use a bullhorn to get me to listen! hehehehe | |
| Tidal class-action This could become explosive. So many manufacturers have already gone to great effort and expense to incorporate MQA into their equipment. Then on top of the losses there, I am thinking that this is just another tactic to eliminate 'ORIGINAL Record... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? Mitch2 What I think you may have missed is that I was jsut giving examples and possibilities. AS far as the cotton fiber goes , you might as well go demolish some 120 year old house and rip out the electrical wiring and use that for you speaker ca... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? IT DEPENDS! Roughly 10 years ago Belden CLAIMED that a 'single strand pair' of their CAT5e Ethernet cable was capable of Audiophile grade transmission up to 10 feet. That aside, we now have OFC, Long grain copper, Silver plated copper, Litz braide... | |
| 12 AWG Mains Power Cable From Wall To Power Conditioner Sufficient? Gague isn't the final defining factor one power carrying ability. Look to your manufacturer for Amp rating and go from there. Depending on what kind of cooper, plated or not, how many strands, how the strands are configured Type and grade of shiel... | |
