| Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"? i have it. the problem with it and other such devices is that cable performance will differ from the usualm method--feeding a musical signal.i have found that the frequency response is affected by the burn in devices.i have noticed a slight attenu... | |
| Scaling down does scaling down mean reducing the number of components in a stereo system , or reducing the cost of individual components in a stereo system, e.g., replacing an expensive component with a less expensive one ? | |
| Local dealer has ESP no deealer can tell you how you will evaluate a component in your stereo system.no dealer can describe the sound of any component.it is mathematically impossible to specify the sound of a component. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? if you can't explain a phenomenon, is that a reason not to believe it ?are there not some some instances where there is no scientific explanation for an event ? yet such events are accepted as facts.so too in audio, some treatment may be a catalys... | |
| Best interconnect for PS Audio PWT and PWD? i have both components and prefer the original illuminati spdif to any hdmi. i have heard several. my favorite is the harmonic technology.there is no ideal format. it's how the cable interfaces the transport and dac. | |

| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? let me share an experience, which may seem off topic, but illustrates an important principle.a fiend was rummaging through a box of interconnect and digital cable. he came upon a digital cable, consontructed as follows:two parallel runs of enamele... | |
| the quest for the best--within limits ok fremch fries, i will take your gambit.i like quad esls because, i find that within a certain frequency range, they sound closer to a real instrument than any other speaker. yes they have limitations--they are bass deficient and it is not advisa... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put i would take issue with seattle hi fi as to the propensity of consumers to configure a world class stereo system.first what is considered worl;d class is based upon subjective criteria.there are many standards for what is considered world class.se... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC hi gopher:i'll raise the same question again:is it possible that with the "right" tube, the minimax (original) can sound more relaxed, fuller and richer than the metrum ?i find it hard to believe that a ss product can be superior to a tubed produc... | |
