| Speaker Cables Yes, I have ended up with Morrow SP2 cables for my front L/R and center speakers. As rpg says, the mids and highs are just great. The thing about it is, my highs are clearer than with my previous Tara RSC Prime, but without any increase in HF hars... | |
| Oppo 981 vs 983 Which Has Better Picture Quality? I am using a Oppo 980. I run a HDMI 1.3a cable from the Oppo to the receiver, then a HDMI>DVI cable from receiver to my Mits CRT RPTV. The TV has to have a HDCP(copy protected) DVI input, in order to get the 1080i signal. | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? Mnnc,Thanks for the recommendations. My speaker distance settings are correct, 10 feet for each of the front 3 speakers. I also calibrated all speakers with my Radio Shack sound meter. The way I was given to understand to do it, and the way I did,... | |
| HDMI Audio Quality vs Optical/Digital/Analogue Also, for music, if you get a receiver/processor with HDMI 1.3, AND a SACD/DVD-Audio player with HDMI 1.2 that can send DSD and DVD-Audio via HDMI, the sound quality is fabulous. You can get an Oppo 980 for $169. I have it, and SACD DSD and DVD-Au... | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? "01-03-09: EldartfordFor dialog a speaker with restricted and contoured frequency response is most inteligible. Lousy for music though, where the center speaker should be as good or better than the Left and Right speakers.Maybe you need to DOWNgra... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Well, I did pick up a run of Morrow SP2(bare wire ends as Morrow suggests) for my center channel. I must say, this is the best and clearest my center speaker has been so far. Actually, I bi-amped the center speaker by running the Morrow to the HF ... | |
| Bi-amping via Y-cables sound quality Yes, I also have been thinking about doing something that would require some kind of a Y cable. I want to bi-amp my fromt L/R speakers, using my multi-channel amp. But I need to get two cables to the power amp for the front left and tow cables for... | |
| Mapleshade cables?? v Anti Cables Teel,I just had an interesting experience comparing a set of standard anti-cable ics and a set of Audio Art IC-3, connecting my Oppo 980 to my receiver. Actually, both had been unused for maybe more than a year. I had recently gotten a new HDMI re... | |
| Which Ahmad Jamal Recordings? I have Crystal on LP and it is fantastic, very dynamic, really captured the lower notes on the piano. | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? At this point, I am beginning to agree with Shadorne, and I think I am going to give up on having a center channel speaker until I can afford a really good one. I got a deal on a Swans C3 center speaker, so I have been checking it out. I also have... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? As a follow up, I tried switching the Morrows to the LF speaker inputs, and the Goertz MI2 to the HF inputs. That didn't last long. There was an obvious loss of HF detail and clarity. Everything seems more natural and clearer with the Morrows on t... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Yep, I must now have maybe a couple hundred hours on the Morrows, and there is definitely a greater sense of palpability of instruments such as drums and guitar than with the Tara Labs. The high frequencies seem to come through better, but not wit... | |
| Home theater without center channel? Opinions? Well, I was experimenting with speaker cables the other day, and I robbed the center channel cable in order to use it with the front L/R speakers. So I set the receiver for "none" on center speaker. I was surprised at how good it sounds without th... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? OK, I went with a set of Morrow Audio SP2 Reference Speaker Cable. They say it needs 200 hours to fully break in; I'm not sure about this whole break in thing with cables. The first thing that I noticed about these cables is how light they are. I ... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? What about these Morrow speaker cables? I have seen some positive user reviews. How do they compare to say, Reality, Alpha Core MI-2, Audio Art SC-5, Anti-cables? I sold the Legacy Classics a while back, but I still am using the old Tara Labs RSC ... |
