Do Cables Wear Out?
BobP - I never said that the resistance of copper conductors changed over time - go back and re-read my comments. I said that the surface of the copper conductors OXIDIZED over time and that this created several sonic "losses" in the cable compare... 
Do Cables Wear Out?
I knew that my diatribe would start some controversy. BobP needs to llok at a chart of elements and electrical characteristics thereof - silver oxide is a better conductor than copper. He should also refrain from making comments like "no corrosion... 
magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass
Mr Tennis - I have the Maggie 3.6R's and have found ( after much experimentation, I might add) that you want to go with a sealed box sub, otherwise the bass lags behind the planar midrange too much. I use the Revel B12 Concerta with a short all si... 
Do Cables Wear Out?
I realize that this thread has been used to poke fun at several responders, but I think that the real issue is - the guy that started this thread has a legitimate question.The short answer to your question is YES - over time most cables will deter... 
What happens when the Wife cleans the audio room
Hi Artizen - I'll risk it - have your wife come over and clean MY listening room!!! 
Extreme SST, QuickSilver Gold, Furutech NanoLiquid
I have been using the Extreme Audio Quiclsilver Gold for about a month now on all connections and on the ends of the HFT fuses with great results. I had previously been using the Walker SST, but I found it to be a bit "sharp" sounding, while the G... 
different strengths for different cables?
Because we handle Arcam, my customers and I have had some experience with this unit. 
Isolation platform for my Esoteric DV-50S
I have the perfect solution for you - the Gingko Audio Cloud 10 or Cloud 11 make the Esoteric phenominal sounding. We discovered this quite by accident - one of the top shelves of the rack we wanted to use for the DV50 was cracked, and we were a b... 
different strengths for different cables?
Hi Rustler - maybe I can help. Your question about bi-amping the speakers is valid, but I have to tell you - my experience as well as my customers' experience is that you are going to be less than enthralled with the results, particularly with the... 
Opinions on Shunyata power cables w/Velodyne subs
Right church - wrong pew. Try the subwoofer power cords from Synergistic Research on your velo sub. I have had very good results with them - less bloat, more precise pitch and seemingly "faster" bass. Good Luck! 
best digital set up 2006
Shadhorne - I couldn't disagree more with you. cdp's have evolved in the past 10 years - most newer designs are using cd/rom drives and buffer memory, which eliminate jitter and sharply reduces read errors, providing the listener with better resol... 
Is NBS still in business?
I can answer your question. NBS was recently acquired by Ms. Louise Lambert from the former owners, Walter Fields and Michael Shields. The company and their products are very highly regarded in Europe and Asia, but their presence in the North Amer... 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
MrTennis - I have a pair of Revel B12 subs (non-ported)with my Magnepan 3.6 r's and they are completely integrated into the system. That was NOT easy to do. I spent 6 months experimenting with placement of the subs and experimenting with subwoofer... 
Subs for Magnepan 2.7's
Maybe I can help - I have 3.6R's and am using Revel Concerta B12 subs with them and the fit is amazing! The B12's have a parametric equalizer in them, are non-ported and very fast and pitch accurate. They should blend well with your speakers and t...
