| So This Really Is The End.... That's life. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Why do cables matter? To stop signal contamination and degradation of the sound. Sure, wires in equipment are different, but then they are in cases that provide shielding. As for claiming, they don't, and it isn't objectively provable. What utte... | |
| Amp question with size constraints I had a depth issue with the massive Denon AVRX8500. I wasn't going to let that stop me. So I put a suitable size extension underneath it to extend the depth. It's stable, and it just sticks out a bit. Actually about 2". It took no time for it to ... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? Since you said you would consider DIY, my recommendation is to add a Zobel Network to each driver in the enclosure. Almost every loudspeaker can be improved by flattening the impedance curve and therefore allowing the crossover to perform at its b... | |
| The weirdness of it all The importance of power cables can't be overstated. There is no reason why they should be limited to audio equipment. I love the fact that my Samsung S95B OLED has an IEC power socket, so I can use a decent power cable. Like audio equipment, the i... | |
| I downloaded high-res files and... FLAC, DSD, DFF and lots of other formats can be burnt to DVD and played with a Denon DSD-1700NE. If you use DL discs and the files aren't too large, you can have a decent play list. | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? So, does a 4-ohm speaker play louder than an 8-ohm speaker with the same amplifier and volume setting? It's entirely dependent on speaker's sensitivity and output level, which is usually measured at 1 m. On the other hand, an amplifier will ou... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities You cannot be serious! A checklist makes no sense whatsoever. Just listen and draw your own conclusion based on what you hear. | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? I'm not certain this isn't a Jeremy Clarkson type of comment, but if Video Killed the Radio star, then social media addiction killed the ability to be an individual. | |
| Can This Really Matter? Absolutely! | |
| Who turns center off when listening to music I don't need to turn off any speakers. But then all my speakers have the same drivers and all amplifiers are identical, and they are all carefully balanced. Often the center speaker is often an afterthought and the weakest, when it needs to be eq... | |
| Can This Really Matter? I went with a AudioQuest Diamond USB B Cable, but I'm sure the Wire World will be fine. LAN cables are just a susceptible to interference as all other cable types. I'm using DbillionDa Cat8 Ethernet Cable with 4 shielded foiled twisted pair(F/FTP). | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? Cat 8 Ethernet cables are best, as shielding is part of the specification. I've had success with DbillionDa as they have 4 shielded foiled twisted pair(F/FTP). They are available up 150ft long, so an electrician might be able to help you find a wa... | |
| Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade. That is truly expensive and not something I'd ever contemplate. Considering the changes, this new model could well be worth the upgrade. Check these out, and ignore those who make outrageous guesses and ill-informed assumptions. Audio Research R... | |
| Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. Utter nonsense. Don't get fooled by this ... (expletive). |
