| how did you find "the gon" I bought an obscure cable nobody heard out of a local dealer ´used-cable-box´. Cable looked seroius and got it dirt cheap.Since noboby knew what it was I made a search on the web. ´Audiogon´ came out on top. Good thing. | |
| Speaker cable length for L/R channels critical? Pabelson - Yes, I know our ears capability. Explain how come man can tell difference between a tweeter rolling off at 22Khz and a tweeter rolling off at 33Khz, when we should not be able to. All the music reproduction industry is barking up the wr... | |
| Speaker cable length for L/R channels critical? Regarding that man is not equipt to ´hear´ if L/R speakercables are of different lenght with potential phase and coloration errors - It was a fact a few years ago that we couldn´t hear much over 20Khz as well. Speakers and sound reproduction mediu... | |
| XLR, RCA or BNC? Eldartford.Ok. Bad choice of words. What I meant was the same as you describe. ´Electric bump´. Thought it was a simple way to picture a difficult thing. If measured in Oscilloscope cables and any measured signal path will leave a trace in the sha... | |
| XLR, RCA or BNC? Hmm.I believe this can go on for a while. And I see a lot of the arguments me and my friend where having. The thing is that a/most RCA does an electric ´bump´ as it transfers the signal. The BNC does not, or at least has a lesser ´bump´, according... | |
| XLR, RCA or BNC? Sugarbrie. Ok, on paper, perhaps. I know they all differ in lab measurements, but if I say in a sonic performence?Ok, let´s say ST Glass is best ( not ´probably´ best, but best ) for digital. How about for Analog then? Thanks, | |
| XLR, RCA or BNC? I´m not searching to buy new gear - settled as is. Me and my friend was just talking about what would be the best termination, as different manufacturers and brands has their ´favorits´ in connections. We have no chance in trying them all ourselve... | |
| Coaxial or fiber optic i/c for Dolby Digital? My experience tell that the coax always take the trofé. I have not heard a optic beat a coax in sound reproduction ( I´m talking sane comparisons ). An optic in same pricerange as coax has really no chance. Less ´musical´ is the proper word. Regards | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? I think the Marantz DV8300 and up, does no such thing. Convert, that is. But, if you really wanna get a pure answer - email the manufacturer or email the construction designer of a product you fancy. They are mostly happy to talk about, and help s... | |
| Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price.... The PAD Dominus Ferox-version, is my choice.About the length of digital cables. Some cable-makers say that because of the speed of the electric information/signal passing through a digital cable, the cable will not COLOUR the sound unless it is 1.... | |
| What do you put underneath floorstanding speakers? Spikes sends the energy from the speakers right down in to the floor. A good thing - as it´s helps getting a better grip on the speaker cones. A bad thing if you have a neighbour or someone in an apartment below, as soundwaves will be picked up by... | |
| plauged by off center image, am I insane? We are truly many who have had this experience with recordings. But to make a list it can be caused by:1. Difference in components output ( the ear is a tricky thing to fool, and we can tell when there is a differnce in volume right and left, righ... | |
| Purist Audio System Enhancer CD Very helpfull when burning in cables. I would certainly recommend it. I usually say that one can do a couple of turns with the System Enhancer + 30h of real music to ( almost )fully break in a cable. Speakers I can not tell - have not done that. O... |
