To answer your question - yes you are, if you do what you are suggesting.Listen to Elizabeth and Bryanhod, then use all the time you will save by not doing this to enjoy your music, your family, your friends, and whatever else you do to relax and ... | |
| Amp Upgrade for Aerial 10t's To power the Aerials, I believe your best bang for the buck is a big solid state amp. I drive my Aerial 9's with a McCormack DNA 500 which is a great match. While these would not better my McCormack, I have been watching this ad and wondering how ... | |
| Tyler and Acoustic Zen reviews in TAS Bartokfan: my statement, "People no longer need to see the artificially bumped up "list" price to feel good about their purchase of Tyler speakers," is intended to be interpreted as Drseid has, in that the Tyler speakers have proven themselves to ... | |
| Tyler and Acoustic Zen reviews in TAS I found it interesting TAS chose to review the Linbrook System II and not the heart of Tyler's lineup, the Linbrook Signature Monitor or the Linbrook Signature System, which are still reasonably priced and by reports from others do not have the "c... | |
| Home theater furniture - husband vs. wife Check the following link, picture on the right at the top. If something like that (in solid 5/4 inch quartersawn oak) might interest you, let me know and I can hook you up with where to purchase. - Timhttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&... | |

| Long interconnect or short Speaker Cables Forgot to add, a lot of people like the Goertz cables described by Sdcampbell above. They do have low inductance, which is desirable in a speaker cable. However, they also have very high capacitance compared to many other cables, and their use at ... | |
| Long interconnect or short Speaker Cables As others have said, it depends on your specific system and electronics, and differences may range from subtle to clearly audible. If the pre and amp are fully balanced, this is a no-brainer, use the long IC's and short speaker cables due to the n... | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? Pabelson, I doubt if he feels anything, after reading this thread he is surely numb. As an observation, with the moniker spl, and considering his concern about wearing out his cables after "years of hard rock" he is either unmarried, or happily ma... | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? Three observations, first, nobody has mentioned corrosion, which can occur to copper cables over time;second, to Guidocorona, last time I checked coal or whatever fuel is used to power generators and does not cause impurities in the electron flow,... | |
