| 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. | |

| 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. | |

It is definitely produced and mixed differently...it has a softer and... | |
| cable doubter no more Were I a dealer endorsing products on threads here (I'm not) I would disclose that information up-front. I suppose its not absolutely required, and individuals will make of it what they will, but it would seem to be the right thing to do nonetheless. | |
| Camel - Nod and Wink - Impressive Album "Breathless first thing on a sunday morning...........CRANKED"Yes!!!! | |
| Camel - Nod and Wink - Impressive Album I missed this thread until just now.I'm a big Camel/Andrew Latimer fan also.I have a copy of Nod and A Wink I picked up on Ebay from someone in Eastern Europe. Good stuff. I think it is a pirated version though. 90% of it sounds very good last I l... |
