| dedicated lines, equal length? No one would hear any difference except for that annoying hum. Different length cables increase the chance of gound loop induced hum. Do them as close as possible. | |
| inexpensive room treatment options Damn, I screwed up my attempt at humor once again. That should be "voice". | |
| inexpensive room treatment options I find paintings to be terrible at the reflection points. Canvas may be good at absorption, but oil paint on canvas is just as bad as a bare wall. Maybe you are into modern minimalist art and are staring at a blank unpainted canvas with just a sig... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? One thing that is missing from all of these annoying threads (cables sound the same, power cables don't make a difference, etc.) is a recognition that it takes a trained ear to hear many of the differences between cables, equipment, etc. Now that ... | |
| Resale value of BAT gears That unit sold in about an hour. Motivated selleer.I've had one for sale for a month at $1825. Don't know why it hasn't sold yet. 2 months ago I was being offered $1850 and was holding out for $1950, bad move. I guess it is just the laws of supply... | |
| Listening chair Gee, and I've been payin' two bucks each to place my ads when I could have been putting them here in the discussion forums for FREE. Even if you apologize, it is still an ad! Where's Big Brother when you need him. | |
| Listening chair Good idea Nilthepill. (Look up 2 posts) | |
| Rate the Audiophile Publications Aldenruss, would you rather have a road map that only drives you to specific places(advertisers) rather than your destination (audio nirvana)? | |
| Listening chair Search for "Your Listening chair". Been beat, but someone may have something to add. | |

| LP Label help. Edle, You can frequently pick up the 180g KOB pressing on Ebay for The best pressing of KOB that I know of is the 4LP one-sided 45RPM set from Classic. The second runner up is the 2LP 33/45RPM set from Classic which I just got for $80. Both of the... | |
| Any High-End Audio Show near to.....?? Cornfed, Vegas has no appeal to me or my SO. Do you know what/when/where there are shows in London or Paris? Are US companies represented well at European shows? | |
| BAT POLL... Going from 350Wpc to 550WPC will give you about 2dB more power. I doubt that it would make a significant difference in listenable output unless you have your 801s in a huge room. You might want to add the BAT-PAKs if you don't already have them in... | |
| Best Tube Amp under 10K? I'm off the amp upgrade train now that I have my BAT VK-75SE. Smooth and accurate and beautiful to look at too. | |
| Best Carpet Padding Glad I can astound and astonish. To my knowledge, you can still get very nice imaging in a anechoic chamber (the ultimate overdamped condition). It may sound "dry", but the imaging will still be there. By your reasoning, one would not be able to g... |
