| I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks It would have been nice to see what the circuit actually was as well as the RLC values. Then we could make calculations on the signal attenuation, the effect on RF shielding, and transmission line effects.Interesting that the terminations are high... | |
| I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks Interesting that the soldering was poor on the Transparent. They always have claimed that their handbuilt cables has the highest workmanship.The use of RLC between signal and ground is not surprising. We've known this. What would be nice to know i... | |
| 25,000 for the home theater How big is your room? That will determine if you should get a front projector, rear projector, etc. Make sure to get a good display that can do 720p. You won't get anything that can do 1080p with your budget. Forget interlaced displays (1080i or 4... | |
| Absolute Power Cord does the trick Is this a joke? The best $40 I ever spent on audio was on three remastered Van Halen CDs. Who would've thought that the quality of the recording mattered more than the equipment?Hehe...I'm just playing with you. | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? There are a whole lot of snake oil salesman in the power cord market. Most of these cords are made from cheap parts, and then hand assembled. There are a few companies like Shunyata and Electra Glide that actually are using novel designs that almo... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Will someone please conduct some tests? All we need is an electron microscope (one of you must have access to one) and some copper samples.1. Have one control sample, one sample that you apply a signal to for 30 days, and one sample that you subje... | |
| Powersnakes power cords Power cords certainly have more effect on some components compared to others. This probably is a testament to power supply design of some equipment. Cords also seem to have less effect on amps. There is surely some truth to the phenomena as many p... | |
| bananas or spades? Try the bananas from Kimber Kable. Their basic banana as well as their expensive WBT banana are both great. They grip nice and tight and are still easy to remove. Better than any spade I've tried.Stay away from the Monster crimp-on bananas and the... | |
| Adding an IEC outlet to TV set I did what you said and cut the stock cord on my TV. I tried an Electra Glide cord out and it works great. The image is much more pleasing and there is less graininess in the video. A nice tweak for video quality. Sure, the cord costs as much as s... | |
| Which flat spkr. cable to use Nordost is good for the money. Kimber used to make a flat cable, but I don't know if they still do. I use Kimber 8TC with my B&Ws, but I guess that won't work for you.Have you thought about the Electra Glide speaker cables? They use custom fla... | |
| I don,t Understand ???? My guess is that they give these ridiculous price quotes because they don't want to spend the time doing any custom work. They could have just refused outright to do any custom work.Most of these companies don't have much manpower and so they put ... | |
| Lexicon mc-1 or Proceed avp?? The Proceed line would be the clear winner against the DC-1. (I am a former DC-1 owner) But with the MC-1, Lexicon takes it. (I now own a MC-1). Lexicon still won't appeal to the 2-channel analog crowd, but those guys don't watch DVDs anyway. If y... | |
| Is shielding cables that important? Shielding isn't actually effective at blocking all frequencies anyway. If you are really concerned about high frequency noise, a combination of braiding and sheilding probably the way to go.The theory is that the cables that are unsheilded sound b... | |
| Power Cord Preferances The biggest benefit I have found is with a very good cord on the preamp and transport. Cords on the amps haven't made much difference for me.I like ElectraGlide myself, but haven't tried everything. | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear Stevemj - the power cords can have an effect in two ways that I can think of. 1. They act as filters for noise. Anything other than 60Hz is filtered and doesn't make its way into or out of the system2. They control the radiated fields around the c... |
