| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables I think Audiogon needs a "chalk board" feature so right brain "artist" types like my self who can't explain anything clearly can draw a diagram instead. | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Jfaker, I don't think we have cleared up what shotgun is yet, Sean said it best, but I will try to sumerize. A "standard" speaker set up uses a single + connection and a - connection for each channel. This is the same for a single"standard" amp co... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Following on Sean's ideas, if you have bi-wire speakers you could try just the "shotgun" set up for the lows and "norman" bi-wire on the top to reduce the effects that he and both Garfish suggest in the soffened high end but perhaps with the great... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Buckingham, to answer your question, go to the Audioquest web site, and read their explanation of bi-wireing. This is is one of the best explanations I have seen.(you may have to search around since the site is a bit strange at first)They don't me... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Sean, you are correct, Garfish is referring to true double bi-wire rather than shotgun I beleive, as opposed to a single bi wire configuration. For example if you used kimber8(one strand on each side) and seperated out some of the conductors for t... | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen I was suprised today to recieve a call from Mr. Vandersteen today in response to the letter I had written. Although he did still seem frustrated with me, I must say that it was a very nice gesture on his part to call me. I will Apologize to him he... | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen I had decided to quit posting here a short time ago. Since I am the one who brought this topic up I am going to come out of retirement to add my further thoughs on this matter. I am very happy to hear that many of you have had a different(read goo... | |
| 3 Way Speakers Seandtaylor99, I would invite you to look at my posts and tell me if you think that they all are Audio Nazi stuff. I should probaly find something better to do with my time anyway. I admit to ranting at times. The thing with vandersteen put me on ... | |
| 3 Way Speakers I thought that was cooling it Seantaylor99. Sorry, just in a bad mood with too much time on my hands. I do Take all this too seriously. | |
| Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem This thread is both amusing and somewhat desturbing at the same time. Any one who has ever read one of my threads knows that political correctness(or spelling) is not my strongest conviction.I think it that anyone should get satisfaction from solv... | |
| 3 Way Speakers Words like "always" and "all" seem to "always" draw my attention. I won't beat on you this time Makersmark as you deserve a break, but really. This is a very bold and sweeping statement and it takes great restraint for me not to go off on you. But... | |
| Hall of Shame Man! audiophilistine, damn why didn'y I come up with that? | |
| Hall of Shame Hey Killer, interesting Poly Sci thing you got goin' there, I myself see this place as more the Hobbsian "state of nature" sort of thing. It's lawless and leans tword anarcy. Kill or be killed. The very anononimity here leads to people to try to b... | |
| Hall of Shame Wow, what a gas bag? you invited people to take shots at you and then you get defensive. $75 CD palyer, man. More like a Wild Turkey than Makers Mark. | |
| What are we listening to...for...with? My answer to your question is yes. I knew of an "audiophile" who only listened to recordings of gun shots.(weird eh?) Don't ask me where he got these. I knew another guy who viewed his system as a serious science project and didn't really like lis... |
