I was convinced, especially in the beginning, that a lot of these technical design features really matt... | |
| Rhythmic or Hsu To oversimplify, the DBA or Audio Kinesis Swarm uses four subwoofers to cancel room modes. DBA stands for Distributed Bass Array. DBA is a method or approach, not a product. The Audiokinesis (all one word) Swarm is a subwoofer system based on th... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? No matter how I tried I couldn’t hear any difference between the stock and the expensive cable. You don’t have to try and convince me. I could tell from the beginning you weren’t any good at this. ;-) | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? I’ve never heard it, but it’s said, to reproduce the cannon shot in the 1812 Overture, an amp needs 700+ watts to reproduce it.I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say to reproduce a cannon shot you need a cannon- as otherwise in terms of power its... | |

For what you are doing though the most important considerations are flexibility and ease comparing several different arms. The best way to do this is with an arm board you can rotate to easily accommodate any lengt... | |
| Audiophiles and nostalgia, I’ve had a 1979 Porsche 911SC for almost 30 years now. In the 90’s it was new enough and looked so close to a new 911 most people reacted to the car, and me, as they would a guy with a very exclusive expensive new car. Money clouds judgment. Flash... | |

| To guard stylus or not? Right. Even a really intelligently designed stylus guard like Soundsmith uses the fact is you get that close you don't have to be all that big a spaz to do some real damage. I keep mine handy and mount it any time I think the risk of a something c... | |
| Balanced Interconnect Recommendations I don't recommend balanced. Its not anything wrong with them, I just see them as a poor use of resources. Not cost-effective. You can always in my experience get better results for less money with a good RCA. Which stands to reason. Balanced is a ... |
