| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... Again, its NOT the product. Judging by the response to my 'this grinds my gears', it is not even the absoute NONSENSE companies put in their ads for their TECHNICAL product (this is not chocolote we are talking about; but I heard that Lindts is ... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... thecarpathian think about it: 15% improve of WHAT? How do you DOCUMENT the improvement? How do you MEASURE the improvement. What UNITS are used to measure? What INSTRUMENT or TOOL is used to measure. In Kindergarden, they may tolerate "this soun... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... mceljp: "The % improvements are just approximations with the intent of giving customers an idea for what to expect." ==> That IS the problem. How can a serious company make such a statement? PERCENT OF WHAT !!!! If they would write "itsibit... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... tomaswv et al: I am NOT arguing or questioning the quality of the product. But this (and similar examples) just shows how STUPID American consumers are (otherwise marketing departments, advertising companies, political parties, interest groups wo... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... If my current soundstage is 2.3 meter wide, and I go up TWO levels with their cable, that's 30-40% improvement. That would make my sound stage now at least 2.99 meter. What if my room is only 2.89 meter wide? | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... I googled for the measuring instrument for they use to measure and verify their claim. Maybe they just should also be offering them from my line of products: 1) digital soundstage meter, accurate to 0.01% (metric) 2) digistal resolution analyzer... | |

| Best digital format (non streaming) Darn! The better my system gets, the more I find it difficult to listen to 'old favorites' that are just recorded horribly. And lesser and lesser recordings 'make it' into the 'play list'. Now starting to look into classical music hoping to find s... | |
| Willsenton R8 - how good? I switched between the two 'modes' (full linear ??? and triode ???). Full linear was 'livelier' and more 'in your face' (sound stage way forward compared to 'triode'). I was HOPING to hear the famous 'tube softness' compared to the solid state... | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - how good are they No diamonds in this one: | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - how good are they Lets make the price point under <$1,800 for discussion purpose. | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) i didn't see the OP providing the budget expressly. But $300 should get a nice CD player. What about the always thrown into the discussion Oppo 103 (?) that goes for $300 (used)? | |
| Audio signal sensing auto on/off switch Sure this box can use 12DV trigger, not just a digital input? | |
| Audio signal sensing auto on/off switch Good idea (to use the existing 'load sensing' power strip to control a heavy duty power relay (assuming that the big amp will melt the strip/contacts). | |
| Audio signal sensing auto on/off switch I forgot that I had a 'fancy' power strip here (bought and forgot). Now looking at it, it has a 'main' and some 'controlled' outlets. When the 'main' draws power (turned on), the 'controlled' outlets are turned on as well. Works in the test setup ... |
