brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good
In my system this 5 dollar cover has done more then what a 200 dollar shakti stone has done in my system. Does that mean shakti is no good? No, but IN MY SYSTEM a 5 dollar brass cover was a huge value. People can doubt it, and it would not matter ... 
brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good
Albertporter,You sparked a thought in my mind.You have mentioned about the drum head effect analogy. Being a drummer I know how significantly the drum sound changes by tightning and loosening the drum head. I am no scientist but I have an open min... 
brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good
tboooe,Yes, the covers that sit over the ac outlet. My guess when I tightened the screw very tight it had something to do with the outlet and cover extreamly tight up against the wall, thus all the vibrations are much more able to effect and condu... 
brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good
Albertporter,I will have to check on the covers that read unbreakable. I was going to go around my house and see if I have anything different. I was not nuts about the plastic pass and seymore, but like you said it was acceptable. I could not deal... 
brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good
Jea48,I did the comparison tonight. It was intersting and anyone who says covers don't make a dif. probably have ears that can not hear the differences.I compared my brass outlet, pass and seymore plastic, and a 51 cent magnetic steel from home de... 
brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good
To finish the rest of your question jea48 they are the home depot blue plastic outlet box. I have a watt gate 381 as my main two outlets. I Have a full home theater outfit so I but the brass covers on several of them. The other outlets are acme si...

I only spent a webit of time when I replaced it, but what I did here was nice. I will come back with a more clear result which I may do tonight. A lower noise floor is what I remember. I have also a steel 51 cent cover that I will use also in the ... 
Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation?
I went from the david digital to the revelation signature. Talk about a leap! I have to say its a nice leap however. I hear the depth and detail. I know the david does well in its class, so the david is no chump! I guess like David (no chump) in t... 
Virtual Dynamics
I have to admire a man who is willing to risk profits to his company in order to stand in what he believes and cares about. I would conjecture that most men are wimps when it comes to standing against the grain of society in what they believe. My ... 
Newbie question for amps: Sunfire, Anthem, Rotel?
I have the anthem avm 20 and when I searched for an amp, I brought home an anthem and sunfire amp. The sunfire was so so sweet! Not that the anthem amp was not nice but for home theater I deeply desire an amp thats warm mellow and almost tube like... 
Info/Opinion on Anthem AVM20 vs Krell Showcase
I think the complete opposite! I had both them and the anthem is a smoother sound with the voices more central in two channel. 
Anthem AVM20 vs Krell Showcase
I've had both these pre pros at my house at the same time. I easily chose the anthem. It was clearly more smooth then the krell. I like how the Anthem has the singers voices so centerly located compared to the krell. This was actually an easy disi... 
Anthem AVM 20 vs AMV 30
I want to add that the avm20 is an awesome piece. I am a total cheap head and have NEVER spent anything like this for a piece but after auditioning, the anthem is a clear winner. What made me check it out was just the fact that I did see a ton of ... 
what center speaker to go with Kef 104.2
I'm using the kef 103.3 for my surrounds which are the sister speaker a model below the 104.2. The 103.3 would also be a great center speaker which theres a set on here for 400.00. I have actually used one of mine as the center speaker. They match... 
what center speaker to go with Kef 104.2
I'm going to put another 104.2 in the center to match. I have the kef 90 and dont think that it is a close match, as mathcing is so important in the front soundstage.
