| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Same here as well. I think that when we hear more of the music being played, we're simply taking in more info as there is more to the beginning and end of each note, making it seem longer when in fact the same amount of time passes but we absorb m... | |
| Best interconnect between pre-amp and CD player?? Rrog,Sorry If I over reacted: it was late and I was enjoying a glass of Chilean cabernet franc. Hard to figure out intent over the internet.As for the design, they do look delicate but I've always handled them with care until I put them in my cabl... | |
| Best interconnect between pre-amp and CD player?? That plastic bag is like having practically no dielectric at all. Nothing to mess with the signal. If you could hear them in my system you wouldn't knock them and I guess that's the basis for such a remark: you've never heard them.You like Chord I... | |
| Best interconnect between pre-amp and CD player?? Sunnyjim,Here's my 2 cents worth. Try a pair of Mapleshade Excalibur ICs. http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Clearview-Excalibur-Analog-Ribbon-Interconnects/productinfo/EAIC%2DST/.I found an old pair in a box of cables I had and just for the heck of ... | |
| Bowers and Wilkins 805s, use as TV speakers ?????? You shouldn't need a center channel. Those 805s would be great for a properly set up 2 channel TV system. I only use 2 speakers in my set up and it works great.All the best,Nonoise | |
| I-Mac for computer audio? I hate to be the wet blanket here but you should keep the distance from the iMac to your stereo about 2 meters or less. I have a similar dilemma as yours where my iMac is across the room from my stereo. I used a 15' run of WireWorld USB to a Centr... | |

| Mapleshade Double Helix Speaker Cables I have the basic Helix speaker wire and just let them loop around but never onto themselves, nothing overlapping and they work just fine. I also found that due to their construction, they don't dangle and touch the carpeting and if they come close... | |
| For the sound, or????? When I auditioned my Tonian Labs TL-D1s, Tony Minasian demo'd them with a 25 year old Audiolab 8000A and they sounded wonderful. He said as long as the source and speakers were of high quality, the amp needn't be. That Audiolab was no slouch in it... | |
| when to replace isoclean fuse for preamp Change it when it blows and not a second sooner.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Fuses that matter. Al,I agree with your first thought on the testing of the many and various garden variety type fuses. It could very well be that one or two are made to a higher standard, have the same benefit as the high end type, and still be priced cheaply.I do ... | |
| Scaling down Not having a really big system, I'd have to say I could be happy if I did some careful and considerate shopping. There were some great sounding, smaller systems at the Newport Audio Show but they weren't cheap.It would all depend on the size you'r... | |
| Fuses that matter. I have an uncle who is a retired deputy DA with a 98% conviction record. His mentor told him that he should be able to convict on circumstantial evidence alone. Anything else is advantageous but not necessary.There is enough anecdotal evidence aro... | |

| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? So, we hear things differently despite similar backgrounds, tastes, interests and all of this with the same appreciation, similar levels of equipment, and a similar quest for the best, be it through better recordings or equipment upgrades.Yet, for... |
