| The ultimate system? Cost no object Chaskelljr, Nice system, but the math ain't so great. I was looking at your dream system and thinking it was a great deal for $70k. But then I did the math and it is actually $82,240+cables+Room Renovation. Cables and Room Tweaks easily put this o... | |
| The Lengths You ve Gone Through My back pain is a constant reminder that I need to make friends with my neighbor if I am going to keep swithching gear. Those 150lb amps and speakers are a PITA to get in and out of the house, packed and unpacked, but somehow I always do it by mys... | |
| Speaker wire - equal length or shortest? Actually, the lower signals in an IC interact less with the wire than the higher signals. So definately use a longer IC if you can put your amp near(between) your speakers and then use the shortest speaker cables possible. Group delay, where lower... | |
| Speaker wire - equal length or shortest? Although Albert et al are correct, you specifically stated that you did not want to move any of your equipment. So the advice here should be to use 35ft long equal length speaker cables unless you can move your amp between the speakers. | |
| SACD Dominates Recommended List Maybe if Sony et al positions things properly (not likely), there will be a larger interest in our hobby. The average Joe may want to impress his friends with how he can take full advantage of the SACD's sonic qualities. Who knows it may be the ne... | |
| Who R U? Biotime: I'm 31yo and have been an audiophile for 12 years. It started out with ACCURATE, rather than boomy, reproduction of sound in my car. My best/last car system had McIntosh CD/tuner and amps and 12 Dynaudio Speakers with 2 digital signal pro... | |
| What s in front of your chair? Gee, I'm not sure how to take all of the responses to my query. Some are quite humorous. However, the main reason that I asked the question is because I removed a glass top coffee table that DID have a negative effect on my system WHILE I WAS ENJO... | |
| Buying "Sound Unheard" I almost always buy sound unheard. Isn't that what Ausiogon is for? I look for good deal on great equipment. If it sounds better in my system, I keep it. If not, I keep my component and sell the new stuff for what I paid, more or less. I keep trac... | |
| Digital front-end p/c recommendations? I'm using the Shunyata Black Mambas on my Transport and DAC with excellent results. I also tried the synergistic and PC audio, but I find the BMs give the blackest background. | |
| Talon Khorus question Suchtan, I read the threads on Audio Asylum. They were quite contreverisial. Reviewers and users were saying the speaker sounded like heaven, but the measurements looked like hell. However, if you read the posts all the way through you will find o... | |
| Talon Khorus question Interesting question, but it is not limited to Talon Khorus. Occassionally, there will be a glut of a particular item on the used market purely by coincidence. This has the effect of driving the prices way down. After most of the items have been s... | |
| cable length Oy, Steve's crusade continues on yet another thread... Different PCs, ICs, and SCs do make significant sonic differences in high fidelity systems. They do, They do, They do, They do, They do, They do, They do, They do, They do, They do, They do, T... | |
| Help Proac 3.8/ Contour 3.3/ B W N802 I'm not familiar with the workmanship of the Proac, but I find it hard to believe that it is any better than that of those anal danes at Dynaudio. Dynaudios lack designer (sex) appeal, but the craftsmanship is top notch, at least for my Confidence... | |
| Nordost SPM vs. Quatro Fil I think people are going to all the threads and posts by an author that says something they don't like and giving negs to drag their overall count down. Of course it is people like this that the ratings system is supposed to weed out. Good thing t... |
