| Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends I don't know if I can offer anything other than moral support. As you well know, many audiophiles have great difficulty with judging performance by "measurements". If we bought according to "measurements", nobody would buy tube amps. People would ... | |
| CEC Who are they? Challenging questions you pose. I can give a partial answer.C.E.C. products are made by the Chuo Denki Company in Japan, unless I am mistaken. Their website is www.cec-web.co.jp As the site is in Japanese, I suspect that the initials C.E.C. might ... | |
| OK, what's the protocol? First, underestimation of shipping.There is no reason for a quote to be grossly inaccurate if you have original packaging. You have the weight and size of what is to be shipped and online calculators are available from the shippers. In view of thi... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Sorry, but we all know that CDs are "perfect sound...forever". You'll have to just get used to the fact that all CD players players produce perfect sound. Maybe you could sing yourself to sleep. It would be cheaper. | |
| HT, WHAT'S BETTER 2 CHANNEL + 3 OR ONE 5 CH In theory, it should not make a difference. However, in practice, it may make a difference. The more channels you have in one box, the greater the possibility that there may be electrical interference between the channels. One box also increases t... | |
| Looking for a good cartridge... Grados are good value for the money. You can see some at www.audioadvisor.com The least expensive ones are in the $40-$60 range. | |
| Cheap HT and, forgive me, Bose I think that Bose are not highly regarded by audiophiles for two reasons. The first reason may not be a concern to you in your situation. The second may be.The first reason why audiophiles generally do not give Bose much regard is because the high... | |
| which cowboy junkies cd? Trinity Sessions and Lay It Down would be my top two.By the way, my wife and daughter were at a concert a couple of months ago (girl's night out). The Cowboy Junkies were the opening act. (Colin James was the headliner). The first thing they said ... | |
| Omnidirectional antennas In addition to the Fanfare suggested by Armstrod, you could look at the Magnum Dynalab ST-2FM. They're pretty much identical. I would also suggest you look at Terk antennae as they are antenna specialists. If you live in an urban area which is not... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? I would agree with Pabelson.When you consider that some of the vibrations on a record groove are measured in the billionths of an inch, the importance of keeping motor vibration out becomes critical. It would seem to me that the cost and engineeri... | |
| When is the best time to buy equipment?? The CES show in Vegas in early winter is when a lot of manufacturers are showcasing their upcoming products. These new products typically come out either in the spring, when people's wallets have recovered from Christmas, or in the fall, in antici... | |
| HELP I need Speaker Recommendation? w/set up I think that it is quite admirable that you are doing this for your customers.Given the application of the speakers you are looking to purchase, I would highly recommend that you find a Mirage dealer and audition their Omnisat or Omnisat Micro spe... | |
| Choosing speakers for room w/ obstructing sofas I hate to sound pessimistic but I don't think that the type of speaker will make a difference. The laws of physics are going to get in the way. When the speaker radiates sound, whether it is floorstanding or whether it is stand mounted, the sound ... | |
| Good Y Cables? I am assuming you want RCA's all around, not a pair of RCA's at one end and a miniplug at the other end.I have been looking at cables myself over the last week or two at local high end stores and at Best Buy etc. I would second what Sugarbrie says... | |
| I need help for processor selection Hi Rushrx. Keep in mind that I'm a Linn junkie so my opinions will be correspondingly biased. Here's what I suggest. Sell the rear Espeks and replace them with Katans. You can dump the cheap CD and DVD player as well, if you can. Add the money you... |
