Directional speaker cables - switching direction
I wanted to follow up my previous post that was cut short to feed my kids. If there are physical attributes in audio equipment that cannot be measured but have a real impact on the sound, then the audio industry is effectively reduced from enginee... 
Directional speaker cables - switching direction
One thing is for sure, if you can't measure it then you can't design it. This is interesting as most companies at least attempt to advertise using some scientific claims.

Scvan - the problem with your idea is that a lot of audiophiles believe that science isn't up to measuring audio equipment. As stated in the post just prior to mine, things can measure the same and sound different. I agree that it is impossible to... 
where to go from a hp mini 210 netbook
iTunes plus Apple Airport Express is a great entry point (likely the final destination for me) in combo with your DAC. The simplicity of controlling my MacBook Pro with a remote app on my iPhone to stream wirelessly through the Apple Airport Expre...

Scvan - I tend to agree with your line of thinking. I think my at people can identify a 0.5 dB volume difference which is a difference of about 5% or less. If volume differences are any indicator for what the human ear can discern, then how does t... 
Uneven speaker cable lengths?
I would say it is unlikely that you would notice a difference; however, you might consider going with equal lengths for the high and low inputs rather than left and right. The length of the cable has a direct impact on resistance which has a direc... 
Question about cables.
If you are referring to digital coax that uses RCA connections then check out Blue Jeans Cable for some additional info. They prefer digital coax as it is more robust over a long distance. 
Question about cables.
That is apples and oranges. RCA is an analog connection and optical is a digital connection. What components are you wanting to connect? 
Best 2.0 powered computer speakers?
I have not noticed any volume issues like you describe. 
Hearing issues and signal attenuation
You might consider some pro audio gear for your EQ. 
Best 2.0 powered computer speakers?
The A2 cabinets are about 1 inch thick which is nuts for such a small speaker. 
Best 2.0 powered computer speakers?
The volume knob on the Audioengine A2 speakers is on the back. This isn't ideal. I don't find it to be a huge issue, but certainly understand why some might. It depends on if you plan to use the volume control on your source ( I.e. Computer) or wi... 
Best 2.0 powered computer speakers?
I have both Audioengine A2 and A5+ speakers and have been very impressed. The A5+ speakers were amazing the few times I actually hooked them to my CD player rather than using my iPhone as the source. 
Hearing issues and signal attenuation
Nova is a Peachtree model, right? 
Hearing issues and signal attenuation
Can you adjust the angle of the speakers to have a more direct angle on the bad side?
