Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea?
Raguirre, yes, as Marakanetz said above, RLC, resistance, inductance and capacitance will vary with length, or so I have been told. The question is by how much and what effect that would have on the sound. If something goes up by 50% from .011 to ...

Oh, I went back and read the beginning of your first post Bwhite. Attribution? 
Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea?
Hmm. Perhaps guessing again might be in order.Nicely done Bwhite. How about multi-miked recordings with mics out of phase with each other?Now someone want to explain the extent to which damping factors will differ one side from the other and the a... 
Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea?
There won't be an audible (probably not even measurable) difference with the lengths you mention. Marakanetz's comments are correct in theory, but you would only need to worry if the 2 sides were really different. I asked this question of a well-k...

Sometimes skips, sometimes doesn't
Two potential sources of the problem. 1. the laser needs to be cleaned. Try spraying it with compresssed air. That works for my players. 2. some part of the transport mechanism, e.g., the rails, is(are) worn, defective, or just needs to be lubrica... 
Definin' the blues (humor)
No. 21 is so true. Cant even put those names in a blues lyric. Try it: "Woke up this morning and Heather wasnt there, woke up this morning and Heather wasnt there, life without my Heather is just too much to bear." Impossible.Thanks for cheering m... 
Pet Stories
Nilthepill. Don't deprive your kids of a pet. Dogs can be trained. (Cats can't, but maybe they can be conditioned.)Our dog is very playful, likes to chew, and will mark anything he can outside of the house, but after he chewed on one of my headpho...

Rpell. The point is, I did not answer your question and never will for a reason that has nothing to do with you or the subject matter of the question or this thread. And now you try to insult me again. "Telling." WAFI. That's IMO of course.

Rpell, unless you are an Audiogon staffer, I don't see how you could have expected my response to Sedond's expulsion.I am, however, the last person who one would ever expect to defend one technology over another. I never defend any position on any...

Quite a bit, I think (pun intended). But, I'm sorry, I've sedonly lost interest in this or just about any other subject being discussed here (spelling error also intended).
