To Soundlab or not to Soundlab?
Bryceeboy, you've piqued my curiosity. Would you please expound on that statement? 
Ground Loop - New Twist?
Update: The tech from the cable company never called as promised. BUT he did visit. There is now a ground connection from the cable entry to my power meter's junction box instead of the former daisy chain to my neighbor's. Removing the cable groun... 
What s wrong with this picture?
Another perspective is that Doclb was doing the proverbial apples to oranges thing. Try omparing that PC to something from The Good Guys or Best Buy. Compare the DAC to a Sun Microsystems or Hewlett Packard UNIX workstation. Much better analogy to... 
What Are Your Audio Morals?
Jhunter, those are the guys. I've found them to be the most helpful and upfront reseller in the area. My initial joke aside (note the smilie, morons), they carry a good variety of excellent products, don't mind answering questions and keep reasona... 
How can power cords make a difference?
While not cable related, an an anecdotal exchange occurred this past weekend that gives an interesting bit of insight into how some people's training is almost akin to brainwashing. A couple of friends helped move my large items like furniture to ... 
What Are Your Audio Morals?
Whomever was offended by my above comments, probably the weak attempt at humor, please accept my sincerest apologies. Far be it from me to try to interject a little levity into an otherwise perfect, cheerful world. I should know better, am humbled... 
How can power cords make a difference?
All good points, Redkiwi. Personally, talking to the collective brickwall grew old quickly and feeling it was a waste of energy choose simply not to do so. Circular arguments tend to have that effect on me. There are far too many other interesting... 
The end of an affair?
Have you thought about trying to patch things up with Line 1? Get 'er enough vintage bottled brews to fill her plate and she just might consider coming back, more eager than ever to please. That is, if you haven't ruined her completely. Tell me sh... 
For You: THE most imprortant element...
...is being able to get lost in the music. When suddenly it's 2AM, and the past hours belonged only to oblivion, things are just right. 
How can power cords make a difference?
Guys, haven't you figured it out yet? 702 is getting exactly what he wants. It's not insight, education or sharing as with most of the participants here. It's your collective goats. 
Best 10 speaker cable for 250 ??
Also in this price range is the Analysis Plus Oval 9 (used). There's a 10' pair for sale in the classifieds right now.Note: This seems to be a cable people either love or hate. Not much commentary from the middle ground. But is there ever...? 
What Are Your Audio Morals?
Easy. It is a matter of principle and professional ethics (I'm a salesman) that keeps me from using dealers for auditions when my itentions are to buy used.Fact of the matter is, there is a local dealer who has allowed me to demo several pieces in... 
Who R U?
Excuse me for mixing hobbies, but if you want info on hang gliding Wjones feel free to ping me. It's my other passion and has been for well over a decade. I'd be more than glad to answer any questions and, just as importantly, guide you past the p... 
what to upgrade
Don't discount decent wires and cables without first hand experience. Decent doesn't necessarily mean expensive, either. But DEFINITELY consider room treatments. That's the stage I'm at now and it's surprising what small things will do. For exampl... 
Have Rogue Monoblocks, now what?
That's not a completely fair statement, Leafs. At the risk of defending my own purchases, Hales Design Group and McCormack Audio both delivered extremely good products at their price points. Both are now gone. Hales simply disappeared into the eth...
