| cable doubter no more "How will this factor in to your contest?"It doesn't matter how it factors in!I'd have to go with 'feil in a "Last Man Standing " match. | |
| How do you level your turntable? A bubble level should work fine. You might want to take multiple measurements near each corner though. | |
| avr receiver help If it were me, I'd consider H/K. | |
| Home Audio Network Use a wireless laptop?I can control the music from any PC or laptop in my house from anywhere in the house using Roku Soundbridge by either accessing the Soundbridge's web page from a browser or by using the Radio Roku website. | |
| Good speakers for a low budget Magnepan mmg or Triangle Titus. | |
| mixing and matching..... I have 4 brands: DNM, MIT and Harmonic Tech and Audioquest.It is not a problem. Rolling cables is not much different than rolling tubes IMHO. | |
| Compared tube preamps? Want remote & phonostage. I've been researching some of these lately. Of the ones you mention, VTL is most appealing to me currently. | |
| cable doubter no more "They could also attempt oneupmanship as far as how much they know and how long they've known it, sort of like audio mud wrestling"A "Last Man Standing" match would be cool...I'm just saying. | |
| What are the effects of up-sampling The technical effect is a smoother waveform.A smoother waveform may or may not sound better...it depends on many factors. | |
| cable doubter no more By the way, if I cut my ICs in half, I get a 100% reduction in sound. Try this test only with power turned off though or use insulated wire cutters.If I splice them back together ... well, you get the idea. | |
| Overall opinions on Harman Kardon I recently listened in as someone auditioned a pair of Maggies running of an HK A/V receiver. It sounded perfectly fine. Didn't get to a/b it against other amps though. | |
| Are most budget & mid range amps under-powered? I suspect many users have underpowered amps for their particular speaker application, but I would not say the amps themselves are inherently underpowered. A good high powered amp will generally cost more though for sure. Class D/Icepower is perhap... | |
| Overall opinions on Harman Kardon I've always thought HK is a good sound value but have never been sold on overall reliability and quality control over the years. |
