Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.
I have bought two and after many many experiments and opinion gatherings, I have found that they have no effect, no matter what you put them on. I am very open minded and admit readily and often to the efficacy of tweaks but shakti stones are a sc... 
Center Channel Upgrade Question
I have owned the Electra cc901 and currently own the cc908 profile center. Both are great but I would have to give the 908 a significant edge for two reasons. Firstly I have found the 908 to provide more detail which is hugely important when watch... 
Pioneer BDP-05FD hdmi handshake issues
I have the exact same set up and am really unimpressed with the build quality of the bdp-05. Mine is currently being fixed for the second time in less than a year. I would not recommend this player especially at its retail price. Also, weren't we ... 
A weird thing happened to my Red Wine Audio 30.2..
That is interesting Paul. They certainly were cold at the beginning. It's hard to say how long they stayed that way. 
Best Mainstream Receiver for 2 Channel Audio
For stereo sound quality, the best 5.1 avr is the Arcam avr 350, without a doubt. You should be able to purchase a used one (maybe even a new one since they don't offer hdmi audio processing) for what you are willing to spend without much effort. ... 
Newbie Power Cord Question
It's true. Power cords are expensive and seem less influential than most other cord types. However, an Acoustic Zen El Nino should be about a hundred dollars used and it probably will make a very slight improvement in the sound of your system. Als... 
A weird thing happened to my Red Wine Audio 30.2..
Johnk,I agree completely that as a rule this type of move about will unsettle a listener. However, in this particular instance it was clear to myself and the others who had never heard the Red Wine unit before that it was providing an underwhelmin... 
A weird thing happened to my Red Wine Audio 30.2..
Actually I have noticed that eating cheese before I go to bed makes me have weird dreams. It was probaby the cheese that made doubt my amp in my dreams. Also, since I'm 30 and feel lucky that I could afford a $2500 amp, I'm wondering what "kids" t... 
A weird thing happened to my Red Wine Audio 30.2..
The speakers I have in my system are Focal Profile 918s. I can't be sure but I would guess that they are not hugely unlike the Triangles that were in my friends store and that we hooked up to my amp. I was sure to do the test on speakers that were... 
Focal JM Lab Profile 928
I have the complete 5.1 profile arrangement. For movies I run them off my arcam avr 350 and for vinyl and cds I use a two channel red wine signature 30.2 amp. I am, for once, entirely pleased with my set up. I reccomend the Profile series, especia... 
best 5.1 reciever????
I use an arcam avr 350 for home theater applications and am very satisfied with its performance. I use analogue interconnects and a blue ray player with internal decoding of hd sound formats to access these high res soundtracks, and do so with gre... 
5 channel interconnects? ac zen
I have the exact same components and I've tried van den hul hybrids, ac matrix iis, and cards cross interconnects. Of the three the van den huls were the best for the job. Also the vdh cables are far more maliable which helps.
