Why do digital cables sound different? Picking up on what Redkiwi said about coax vs. digital, I and a friend were able to A/B the new Audioquest Optilink 5 with Audioquest's digital RCA, the VSD-4. The result was truly surprising. The Optilink glass fiber Toslink was significantly bet... | |
Can asking price be changed after offer is made? I think that from a legal standpoint, Sean is correct. "Best Offer" does not necessarily, although usually, refers to offers less than the asking price. But there is no reason "best offer" is limited in that way. | |
Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal? My realistic viewpoint is that there are all types of people, just like in "brick & mortar" retail. Some flake and some don't. Anyone who has done retail consumer sales can tell you that people are nuts. On here, a deal is never completed unti... | |
Can asking price be changed after offer is made? I am a lawyer and legally, when there is an offer to sell at a certain price and an unqualified acceptance, there is a legally binding contract. However, the reality of the deal, as pointed out by others, is that there is no practical way to enfor... | |
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Mercedes SL500. Only car I ever want. If money was no object, maybe I'd get the SL600. Mercedes does it right. On the other hand, when I'm not blowing money on my stereo, I really maintain myself in the poor house with my custom built Harley, so t... | |
What speakers for $5K Used? I'm in San Diego and I'm going to check out the 10T's, snce there is a local dealer. I have to say, though, that there are a lot of posts in the Speaker Asylum comparing the 10T's to the PSB Goldi! Now, I listened critically to the Goldi against t... | |

Hendrix blues I have the LP import of Hendrix in the West and the whole recording is great quality. His rendition of Johnny B. Good is particularly excellent as well. | |
satellite digital ?'s A little off-thread, but I did a shoot-out last night with the new Audioquest Optilink 5 toslink cable versus their VSD-4 digital coax, and the result was astonishing (in the world of cable differences, that is). Contrary to popular belief, the To... | |
Looking for a Shotgun... I demo'ed the AZ Shotguns and I have to say that they were excellent in my system. I'd highly recommend them. | |
Best Concert DVD I have to tell you that Queen's "We Will Rock You" DVD in DTS is so well recorded that I feel like lighting matches! The mix is excellent, and in DTS, this will blow you away (and your neighbors!) | |
B W CDM 9 NT or NAUTILUS 804's As Eyeman said, I seriously auditioned the CDM9 NT's vs. the 804's and 805's. I was primed to like the NT's as being "just like" the 804's with a slighty different cabinet. Believe me, they are not close to the 804's, no matter what a salesman tri... | |
As-Is, What does it mean? This is a response to the question posed by Kjg. In California (where I live) there is implied in every contract a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Simply put, when two people enter into a contract, the law presumes an obligation on each p... | |
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Sorry to be a skeptic, but why is $600 for a 50 foot (meter?) spool of 24 guage copper wire and a few terminators a good deal? What, if anything, is the difference between the OTA 24 guage OFC solid core copper wire and 24 guage copper wire purcha... | |
As-Is, What does it mean? When I purchase things online, I usually ask specific questions in emails about the condition or functionality of the unit. When there are written representations about the purchase, those will likely supercede a more general "as is" type statemen... |
