Cables for Paradigm ref. 100's?
Before I sold my system I used Zu Cable Julians to wire my Paradigm Reference Studio 60s. In my system they were better than the Analysis Plus Oval 12s I tried and the custom wire I used for a couple of years. My recommendation is to go for the Zu... 
Help Should I stay with my Axiom M22ti or move on?
I own both a pair of Axiom M22ti's and Paradigm Reference Studio 60's loudspeakers. The Axiom's do not have the bass of the Studio 60's nor can they reproduce the same sense of scale on symphonic and orchestral music. However, I still find that th... 
Review: the music cable yellow interconnect Interconnect
I auditioned these interconnects about a year or two ago. My equipment at the time consisted of a Roksan Caspian CD Player, B&K Reference 10 Pre/Pro, B&K AV6000 6-ch. power amp, and Paradigm Reference Studio 60 loudspeakers. I tried them b... 
Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables
I cannot argue against Jlambrick's assertion that, "Sales incentives and media blitzes provide an environment where pure crap can be foisted onto the public." But the operative word here is "can". I have not personally experienced the marketing ta... 
Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables
A business that wants to stay in business for long needs to make money (though I suppose there are exceptions). There are various ways to do that but it seems that a good sales team and marketing program are a good start. Kudos to Noel Lee for sur... 
Ear Plug/Hearing Protection Poll
I wear ear protection on my drive to/from work. Since I have a convertible the noise level is pretty high on the 45 mile drive into work.It amazes me how loud people listen to their systems, both at home and in the car. I live in an apartment with... 
How good are Axiom loudspeakers
I bought a pair of the Axiom M22ti about five months ago. So far I've really enjoyed listening to them. The music is clear and focused. Though it won't shake your walls with subterrainean bass what it does have is fairly tight. You can get factory... 
Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
I hesitated before posting a reply to this thread. It seems to be a "hot" topic and I've been involved in one too many flame-wars in the past.Let me just say this. Many of the arguments against passing along Paypal fees (beside the legal issue) us... 
cable cooker, do they work?
I may be guilty of keeping a dead horse alive, but I am amazed at how much dancing around my question took place. To be honest, Bomarc, both you and Docwarnock failed to answer it - or perhaps I should say Doc ignored it and you at least gave me s... 
cable cooker, do they work?
Docwarnock, I am interested in reviewing your empirical evidence i.e. the documented results of the DBT testing. This issue has been argued ad nauseum (and yes I got in it too a few months back). Instead of continuing to stand toe-to-toe spouting ... 
Which AV processors have an analog pass-thru?
I added a tubed preamp to my HT system for music and did just what Slartibartfast suggested. My Sony C333 SACD player is connected directly to the tubed preamp. The main L/R channels from the A/V processor, a B&K Components Reference 10, are a... 
Any firms that do mod's to amplifiers?
I know of a couple of companies that mod DACs and source components but only one that, for certain, mods amplifiers - Musical Concepts (www.musicalconcepts.com). I have never used their services so cannot comment on their reliability or quality. D... 
Out of Control
Sonrisa, your Christmas wishes may have been directed to Pbb but I'll wish you a Merry Christmas just the same. I plan on enjoying the music of this season and I hope you do to. 
Out of Control
I agree with your assessment that "HUGE" is used too often to describe subtle changes. Though, in fairness, since I haven't actually auditioned many of the components that garner such "praise" I can't be 100% certain. However, I still believe that...
