Review: DIY The Power cord
I have three Asylum cords in my system and have since sold all of my store bought powercords. The Asylum cords were so much better than the Transparent Audio PCs I had that they weren't worth keeping except on the computer.The biggest improvement ... 
How do I start?
Buying everything at once means the customer has to compromise on everything. Real people have to live with real budgets. Buying everything at once sounds like the approach my ten year old son would take. I would encourage a more mature approach t... 
How do I start?
Start at the source and work your way back to the speakers. Buy the best DVD player you can afford and then match what you buy to the source. If you don't get the best possible sound and picture off of the DVD your wonderful speakers are not going... 
When will the "Madness" stop
Good sound has more to do with your mind than your system. A little contentment goes a long way. My $30,000 doesn't sound like live music but neither does Joe Audiophiles $200,000 system. Enjoy the music and stop listening to the equipemnt.Will I ... 
Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables
What does Forbes know about speaker cable, interconnect or hi end marketing. I'm not a fan or detracter of the Noel Lee but it seems to me that about 17 years ago when I first heard about cable there wasn't much else out there. He may have paved t... 
Speaker Mods
What is the purpose of a speaker filter? I am not familiar with this product. The M 2.4 cables have something on both ends of the cable through which the cable runs. I don't know if this is some type of filter.The speaker stands I have are slightl... 
Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality
Aragon owners are too cheap to buy the Krell. Your imagination runs faster than your spin cycle and you know you are being followed. You are convinced that perfect paranoia is perfect awareness and so suspect everyone. You will never rise above be... 
Study finds your Amplifier reveal your personality
Crap! I can't beleive this! I bought the wrong, and here all along I thought I liked it. I feel so stupid. Anybody want to buy my amp? 
Equipment reviews, are they credible?
AudiogoN, thanks for weighing in on this discussion. Your post actually helped to clear up many of the questions that initiated this post I hope I was not misunderstood as condemning the reviews. I plan to do some of them in the future. Possibly e... 
Speaker Mods
TWL, I should have asked you first! As soon as I saw your name I smacked myself on the forehead and said "Duh!" It sounded very hollow.I am very happy with my speakers and I think I would have to spend a lot of money to get something appreciably b... 
Equipment reviews, are they credible?
I'm not suggesting that "reviews" be discontinued. I think they can be of real value. Which is why I began with the confession that I was thinking out loud. It might be a good idea to have them in a seperate catagory instead of where they are now.... 
Best live album you've ever heard?
Anybody mention The Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions?" Tecnically there was no real audience but the whole thing was recorded live in a church and it sounds great. I still use both the CD and the LP when checking out a new piece of gear. I don't k... 
Using Power Conditioner to power on/off bad idea?
It is not a bad idea, but I don't think it is a good idea either. The reason many equipment manufacturers do not have power switches is to avoid the power surge with the "turn-on." I haven't had a pre-amp with a power switch for a long time. Many ... 
state songs -- our suggestions?
"Girl from the North Country" by Bob Dylan is supposedly about a Wisconsin girl?!? 
bad experiences buying on line
I got the money back today but I am still torn about what to do now. The guy deserves bad feedback but the whole story (if he told me the truth) is still complicated. The truth of the matter is I don't remember his "member name." Anybody got a Kre...
