| Best Video cable for picture quality? The Monster M1000V Silver composite and M1000SV Silver S-Video cables are both recommended by Joe Kane, if that matters to you. Imaging Science Foundation certified these cables for video quality. I figure the ISF guys have more test equipment to ... | |
| RCA to 25-bit Why would you want to put a two channel source into the multi-channel input on your processor? This doesn't make any sense. Just hook up the analog stereo pair to one of the normal stereo inputs. The multi-channel input is for analog sources that ... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Docwarnock - Some people view audio gear as a hobby or an obsession like modifying cards. A guy who puts a new $1,000 exhaust in his car to gain 1/10th of a second in the quarter mile (a statistically insignificant gain in power, according to you)... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Jadem6 - Very interesting experiement. First, you learned that your friends are honest. Second, you showed that people don't buy into the placebo effect all the time. Maybe there IS something to this and we're not just nuts for trying out wacky tw... | |
| Need silver power cord help Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the silver tarnish and alter its conductivity at the surface? I thought that was why people used gold.There are companies that will make custom power connectors. I know the fellow who runs Electra Glide has custo... | |
| Do i need good pc s with PS PP? The PS Audio Lab power cord stinks, in my opinion. For the same price a Synergistic Reseach AC Master Coupler or an Electra Glide IntroGlide are better. | |
| Power Cord Challenge Great idea. Let us know if anyone takes you up on this.I tried a much simpler quick and dirty test on my system once. I had the stock cord plugged into my preamp and I cranked the volume all the way up, with no music on. Hiss from background noise... | |
| Speaker Cable Terminations My belief is that cable termination is a convenience feature, so you choose the type that you like best. I prefer soldered bananas because they are easy to connect and (with the right plugs) don't come loose. Some people like spades. Some people l... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Many times the power cord has made no difference in my system. If I were somehow brainwashed into believing in the placebo, I would think I heard the difference all the time. But I don't. In my system, the differences are most apparent on my pream... | |
| Sell King Cobra s and buy F I M Gold ? I find it interesting that over and over I hear from different people that the Shunyata cords sound "dark" or "warm" or "rolled off". There is a definite pattern to the reviews of these cords. | |
| Granite Audio Power cord 555 Kevperro summed things up pretty well. Too bad most people still won't understand why prices are what they are.They should really be mad about the $15 pricetag for CDs and $30 for DVDs! Those things only cost 1 cent to make! | |
| Weird Thing after I lift my ground. Ground loop hum is much more easily solved by disconnecting the ground sheild of any cable TV line, and by having all your components plugged into the same outlet (thus on the same ground). Lifting the ground on all your hardware is a recipe for d... | |
| Most emotionally involving cables? I like ribbon cables like Nordost and Electra Glide. They make things sound really sweet. | |
| When Traveling, Best Way to Hear CDs... You can store hundreds of CDs on your laptop. Use Windows Media Player to rip your CDs to WMA (sounds better than MP3). You can also listen to WMA on many of the better MP3 players (Creative Nomad, Diamond Rio, etc.) and PocketPC devcies (Compaq i... | |
| Help Newbie Cables for Mac/JBL?? I agree...Kimber Kable and AudioQuest have some of the best 'budget' cables that work well with most everything. In the past I haven't been very happy with AudioQuest, but they've really improved. Kimber Kable has always been top notch.After you g... |
