| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. Hello to all,Thank you for sharing your wisdom and suggestions.I ended up getting lucky, I contacted Cambridge regarding my failed AZUR 840C CDP.

| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. Hi and thank you for the response!The Dacmajic plus is at the heart of my system and feeds my Krell from it's balanced outputs. I feel in terms of features and cost it is a great value and some say a giant killer. I run my CDP through it, my Wadia... | |
| Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions Hello!About three weeks ago, my Krell KAV 400xi was sent to Krell for repair as one of the channels was producing quite a bit of static.

| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? OK,Last evening I performed a listening test with a non-audiophile friend of mine to learn if he perceived a difference between a CAT5e and my CAT7 cable. The test was lame and am sure not up to the standards of most on this forum, but I'll let it... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Interesting little fact;When I purchased my Samsung TV, the owners manual specifically stated that "If you are using a wired connection to your TV, you should use a CAT7 cable". The manual did not say why this was necessary, but it does make one t... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? No need to A/B my Cat6 cable with the new Cat7 cable. The difference with the Cat7 was a transformation, I would never have believed it. SQ improved to a degree of significance I find hard to describe. More detail, air, articulation, speed of tran... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Hi, acepilot71,When I return from business, I'll attempt a blind test with a straight CAT5e compared with my new CAT7 and see if my friend can detect a difference. I will then have my friend perform the test on myself to determine if I can consist... | |
