| How to connect bi-wire speakers Shadorne, I think you've hit the nail on the head! The key to all of this is the phrase "at *audio* frequencies". Jeff brings up the group delay bugaboo but fails to mention that this delay is on the order of only a couple hundred nanoseconds betw... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables >> Skin effect / impedance related high frequency losses definitely come into play in the audio region. This is well documented and has been known since the 70's. You can find independent measurements and test results all over the place if y... | |

| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables I see this talk about skin effect and wonder what you are talking about? In my electrical engineering schooling, we were taught that "skin effect" only occurs at much higher frequencies than what is present in an audio signal - we're talking MHz a... | |

| Speaker recomendations please I see some Gallo Ref. 3s on Audiogon right now for $1600 if you're close to Virginia. Power that 2nd voice coil and you've got "weight" in the bottom end for sure...-RW- | |
| How to connect bi-wire speakers >> NO-o-o-o-o-o!...Speaker cable either to tweeter terminals (+/-) OR to woofer terminals (+/-) <<Gee, I thought this was *exactly* what I recommended. Obviously, I wasn't clear in my explanation. My bad, sorry. Let's suppose you have ... | |

| How do I transfer files from Windows Media Player Look on the external hard drive and get the names of the files. Then, search for those files on your internal hard drive, they're probably all under My Documents. Once you find them, delete them from the internal drive. That's it...-RW- | |

| decent universal player on beer budget?? Yamaha 6770 (5 disc) or 6760 (1 disc) - both play anything (except HDCD) and both are well under $300.-RW- | |

| Would this be a big hit to the quality? Have you considered the LinkSys Wireless Music Bridge? You could probably snag it for $70 with your BestBuy discount and then all you need is a decent receiver to power the speakers. Think about it...-RW- |
