Black Diamond Racing Cones Type 3 vs 4
Thats a good question Art! I actually have both here and just assumed that I would like the 3 due to wanting a warmer sound with solid state. I am actually running all Mega DH cones for all the source components so checking was not a priority.I wi... 
Elrod vs. Virtual Dynamics: Thoughts???
It was not the the Elrod was a bright cable, but compared to VD david it did offer more in the high frequencies.The Elrod in comparison to all the other loaned cables from the cable company would not be classified as bright. Just maybe a testament... 
Power conditioner: Shunyata Hydra or Monster AVS
YOu could and many use them in combination. Not always with the Hydra, but the Monster does not clean power but just regulate the voltage at a steady 120. You then plug whatever power conditioner into the Monster to get both conditioning and regul... 
Elrod vs. Virtual Dynamics: Thoughts???
Rja,I had the $550 VD david and $1600 Elrod signature 3 from the cable company on loan. The two where very comparable, except the elrod sounding a bit brighter for my taste. At one third the cost as Mr elrods I knew Rick had something special with... 
Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose?
Nrchy,I was saying the same thing above.From chatting ealier on this thread, I got the vibe many of the guys where being phesesous and moreless joking around that their systems and music was more important.At least I hope they where moreless jokin... 
Tweaks for Toshiba 65HDX82
Woodguy,I did lots of things to mine. You can start by a good power cord. I cut my cheap cord off and installed an IEC and then put a $50 signal power cord on it. I have tried several up in the two thousand dollar price and they made no difference... 
Anthem vs Krell vs Meridian
Dbld, sorry about the lack of clarity on my post.It was the Krell at $3999. Maybe it was the showcase.I would guess you have the krell processor that was retailing at $8,000 at that time. If thats the case it should perform more then a $3,000 proc... 
Anthem vs Krell vs Meridian
I had the Anthem avm20 and Krell hts. I prefered the anthem in two channel. It seems a bit more neutral. 
Are DIY Cables Worth It?
I think springowl that the ofc pertains to any copper that is exposed to air opposed to being protected in the wrap. I could be so wrong. 
Are DIY Cables Worth It?
This is an intersting thread.As I mentioned above, I use a 6 gauge electrical wire from Home Depot that has 19 copper strands thats twisted. They are as Springowl said...I clearly here a difference. It was like a blanket was taken off the speakers... 
Are DIY Cables Worth It?
Gregm,When you say return you obviously mean the ground or the part of the rca that connects to the outter part of the female? 
Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?
Paul Music.They are that good! The Virtual dynamics meaning. I had over 10 sent from me from the cable company and I was shocked by how good the $550 david did. It was so much better then the 1100 dollar python and even prefered it to the $1600 el... 
Are DIY Cables Worth It?
Kacz, that sounds intersting. I outta put that up against the 6 gauge 25 dollar home depot specials. I always wondered if that would sound good. Do you put the hot and neutral together and run two lines of romax?

Mitch2,I have not researched on the Vh stuff though I have seen the name tossed around some...I will have to check on that.I made the best speaker cables for my entire 9 speaker home theater. They are suppose to compare to many high end. Google "b...
