| Best monitor for HT Sounds like a lot of support for the 805. I thought maybe I'd hear a lot of folks pitchning the Taylor Taylo or VR-1. Dolby Digital audio and solid state amps can definitely create a bright/harsh sound, but I don't want speakers that will attempt ... | |
| Better Cables.com Their video/digital cables are just fine. I use them in my home theater with good results. I used to use more expensive Monster or MIT video/digital cables, but the BetterCables are a better deal. I don't use their audio cables. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Marketing hype actually makes people more skeptical of a product, not less. When products start claiming fantastic results, they expect nothing less. If they don't hear an astounding difference, then they are more apt to think its a hoax than to f... | |
| What is the best digital cable? I've used multiple digital cables and never heard a one that made a difference. I personally think that expensive digital cables are the most ridiculous of any cable upgrade. You can find very good digital/video cable for | |
| Power cord for Sunfire Stereo Signature? The MIT Z Cord and Z Cord II are unoffensive cords that do OK. I've used them in the past, and eventually upgraded the Electra Glide Fat Man and heard now a power cord can really make a difference for the better. | |
| counterfeit NBS cables Either NBS cables are so shoddy that anyone can make a clone (thus they obviously aren't worth their price) or this guy just wants to sell new cables. If he's inferring that anyone can clone his cables, then there is obviously nothing to them that... | |
| Hardwood floors vs Carpet Khrys - Reverberant floors and walls help carry the sound from a tiny instrument all the way to the back of the hall. This is good so you can hear the music from far away. Some reflection in your listening room is good, but too much is bad because... | |
| need power cord to my system..... This post will get the usual suspects (BMI, Shunyata, Electra Glide, blah, blah, etc., etc.) and then you'll be told to get the cords that work best in your system. To save a bunch of bandwidth, I'll recap that here:Try all of the cords you can an... | |
| Aftermarket power cord I have found quite a bit of sonic benefit to using a really good cord from the wall to a power strip. Certainly a bigger improvement than from the power strip to an amp.I have tried various products similar to the Monster (Panamax MAX1000+, Richar... | |
| Electraglide Ref. I vs. Ref. II? If I were you, I'd send them both in and for a trade-up to the ElectraGlide 2000 anyway. | |
| What are the best looking power cables? This post just confirms what many cable companies know very well. People buy their expensive stuff just because it looks cool!! AudioQuest is one of the worst offenders in this area, if you ask me. They upgrade their cables every season to meet th... | |
| 20 amp ultimate outlet You can get a good outlet from Hubbell or Leivton for < $20. The Marinco outlets are like $40. Get one of those and skip the gimmicky stuff. I spent $80 on a Jenna Labs "cryogenically treated" Hubbell, and now I think I should have bought 4 Hub... | |
| Why not PS Audio's Lab cables? Oops. I read 2000 instead of 200. Now I see why you're looking at the PS Audio. | |
| Why not PS Audio's Lab cables? If you're going to spend $2K, get a Electra Glide FatBoy Silver 2000 for digital gear. It's the best "money no object" power cord for preamps and digital gear. | |
| Rio Portable MP3 Player I have the Rio. It is OK. The one cool thing is that it supports WMA in addition to MP3. WMA sounds way better than MP3. Of course, neither are going to sound as good as DVD-Audio or SACD on your big rig. But on an airplane or in a car, WMA is ver... |
