| To Bi-wire or not? They told you cable burn in is a myth, but biwiring is not? | |
| speakers that rock I agree Revels are great for rocks. Also Focal Electras are excellent for rocks, and jazz, and classical, and even pop music. | |
| Audio advancement - why? The way I understood the OP's question (or maybe the question I want the answer for) is why hasn't anyone built transistors that can sound as good as tubes to the ear? I don't think it's the matter of technology today, as we pretty much understand... | |
| McCormack UDP-1 5 years later?? The measured digital performance of UDP-1 was never better than a $150 Pioneer universal player, and I don't believe it has improved since it was released. | |
| APL Denon 3910 Question If one setting bypasses the mod performed on the player, wouldn't you be able to hear it when you switch back and forth? Conversely, if you don't hear the difference made from the modification and need to ask others if the circuitry is enabled or ... | |
| Is seller negative feedback a deal-breaker ? As always, read the feedback and maybe contact the member who left the feedback to hear the story. Feedback mechanism is never perfect. On eBay all the negative of feedbacks I received were retaliatory in nature. eBay changed the feedback policy s... | |
| Powerline Ethernet - Does it affect A/C noise? Oops wrong animal. I meant to type fish, but my brain mixed them up after hanging up the phone to a plumber for slow shower drain problem. | |
| Aragon and Acurus brands being revived It'll be very interesting to see how successful Indy Audio can revive this brand. At first I also thought about the possibility that Aragon might be reduced yet another rebadged Asian importer, but according to their web site "Our designs and much... | |
| Powerline Ethernet - Does it affect A/C noise? Unless you live in apartments you would rather want to snake cat5 cables to your room. It's much better performing and probably not more expensive than buying powerline Ethernet hardware. | |
| SACD Interconnects There will be around 1 nanosecond (1/10^9) of difference in propagation delay between 1m and 1.5m length interconnects, which is probably not audible to anyone. However the human nature is that each time you put on music you are likely be bothered... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? I don't buy that the characteristics of cables varies depend on the components they are connecting. Cable is a passive component. It can't sound rich in one system and thin in another. Rova's explanation is more plausible. People's perception to t... | |
| How does processor loop work? Theo, if you connect the pass through output to the pre/pro, how will you connect the rest of the system? The power amp has one set of input, and can't connect both the preamp and pre/pro to it at the same time. | |
| How does processor loop work? Ah, so the processor loop really is for the external parametric equalizer. Not processor in "pre/pro", but a sound processor. And processor loop can't be used to provide HT integration. That was a source of confusion, as I've seen mentions to proc... | |
| Midrange texture? Well, well, well.I've bought three of the Herbie's iso cups with lampblack balls and put them under the preamp. The sound changed A LOT. It's been only a few hours, and I need more time to understand what all these change means, but I just wanted ... | |
| Midrange texture? Tube rolling, new interconnects, and the isolation are all something that I would like to try out. Pops, my preamp came with six Amperex 6922 tubes from the previous owner. The markings and silkscreens on the tubes are not identical, and I'm not s... |
