| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? Justlisten, good to hear from you again. I appreciated your comments the first time, but eventhough I strongly suspected that my attempts would lead to frustration, I decided to give the subwoofer thing a try. You obviously appreciate the great th... | |

| Maggie Rear Speaker Jumpers Wings, if you think your mod yielded an improvement, imagine what replacing a six(!) ft. piece of cable running from the bottom of the panel to the top of the ribbon tweeter with something of quality, or hardwiring the jumpers, or, or... My experi... | |
| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. Guys, the question was for analog system including phono stage for 1500.00. I still don't see how you can do better than a VPI HW19(any vintage)with a Rega, Alphason, or if you have a tweaking predilection a ET2 for around $700-800. This was and s... | |

| Why do digital cables sound different? With all due respect, and I respect your 20 year experience as a digital designer, my 25 years as a professional musician tell me very loudly and clearly that I hear these differences. What's more, they aren't all that subtle in many cases. My mus... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Drubin, you claim to be open minded.I say not open minded enough. Wrap your open minded brain around some of these observations and tell me what you come up with: In none of the posts concerning this subject( with the exception of mine ) is there ... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Bravo Bruce, precisely my point. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Danielho, again I think it is important to look at these issues from the standpoint of the message not the messenger. There simply is too much information in a musical event to encode and then decode for our existing recording and playback equipme... | |
