| what speaker cable would you select? I concur with LugNut: get the Speltz anti-cable. Two 7-ft. pairs (for bi-wiring), spade-terminated, will cost you $140 brand new. Anti-cable blew away my AudioQuest GBC-8, and easily bettered my Signal Cable. I wouldn't waste my time with Kimber K... | |
| DVD Player.....I am stumped..... My Sony DVP-NS775V chirps (quietly) when loading discs. The chirp accompanies the player's reading in and determining the format (CD/DVD/SACD) of the disc to play. However, the chirp goes away during playback. | |
| Break in time for Sennheiser HD-600? My experience has been 50 hours to begin to hear the true sonic character of the HD-600's; 100 hours to finish the job. (This is assuming that all your other gear is already broken in.) An after-market cable, like the Stefan Equinox or Cardas, wil... | |
| What Happens When You Die? It is of more importance what happens to your immortal soul. It will be subject to the Judgment. At that point, your audio system will be of absolutely no value to you. | |
| Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............ I have had very good success with the DakiOms. Contrary to tvad's experience, the feedback stabilizers brought midrange clarity, emotion and nimbleness to my system. In fact, the DakiOms brought across-the-board improvements over the entire freque... | |
| Best Computer Speakers - Need Help Try the FPS-200 2.1 system. Very detailed, smooth and spacious--not recommended for inveterate, hip-hop, thumpa-thumpa music, though. | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used The Etymotic Logic ER-4S's are by far the best I've heard. I prefer them to the Sennheiser HD-600's and 650's (w/Cardas cable upgrade). Detailed, extended and neutral, with a nice, intimate "head space." The foam ear pads work best for me. The Sen... | |
| Paul Speltz speaker cables I have had good success with the Paul Speltz anti-cables, which easily bettered my AudioQuest GBC-8 cable. The anti-cables were clearer, more open and extended, and less strident than the AudioQuest. For their price-to-performance ratio, these hav... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES redbook playback Redbook CD on the SONY is brittle and uninvolving. The newer, cheaper models--like the NS775V sound better (and have better video) than the 9000es, I think, but SONYs still sound dry and thin. My Panasonic DVD-S47 ($89), stock, sounds better than ... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Mock "Cloud Tens." Get 5 Vibrapods ($30) and 5 raquet balls ($6). Use the Vibrapods as bases for the raquet balls and postion underneath component (w/raquet balls contacting componet chassis). Works better than every cone I've used, including Audi... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade please help........ Try some of Paul Speltz' Anti-Cables. They run $10 per foot, per pair, terminated with spades. That is, a 10-ft pair will cost you $100. | |
| Help Tweak Office System (1) Buy a 6' pair of Paul Speltz Anti-Cable speaker wire for $60 w/spades.(2) Try 8 of those rubber and cork isolation pads that sell 4/$10. Or get some used, No. 4 Vibrapods (8 @ $3, if possible).(3) Get a PowerVar power conditioner. If you are p... | |
| Powervar 1200 - How good? I owned one. I did notice an improvement in detail and clarity. One thing I did not like was the transformer hum, which was constant. | |
| Budget DVD suggestions? Take a look at www.tweakaudio.com. There's a $100 Toshiba universal player that Ric Schultz does mods on for upwards to $300. I am currently using a stock Panasonic S47S with good success, but it does not play SACD. Some of the budget-class compon... |
