| HDMI to DVI Cable Thanks for all responses. Snofun3, is the quality of HDMI's audio signal higher than the standard coaxial digital output? I am well aware that technology of high-resolution displays is moving in such a rapid pace. My display projector bought new 3... | |
| HDMI to DVI Cable Thanks for your response. I reckon I won't be using any switches and hence may not encounter what you've experienced. It looks like DVI is getting less favoured nowadays with HDMI sources and displays getting more popular. | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Ryder, The stream of information is not AC and not analagous to the voltage information before encoding into digital, i.e. numbers. The numbers (information) are carryied to the next stage and then decoded back into an analagous varying voltage + ... | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Thanks for the tip. I'll check out Mercy Streets "So" as well. And just a note, my music may not be your cuppa tea and vice versa. | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Bob, then can you elucidate me on how the 'stream of information' is carried to the next stage if they don't carry AC signals? Signals in the form of electrons still need to pass through the cable isn't it? | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Ghosthouse,Sorry I don't know Pink Floyd's as well. Fourplay is a jazz group. Well, I use it for my 'reference' solely because i like that track very much, and I find the quality of the album is good as well. The bass of this track goes deep and m... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Bob,Since you've called upon me, I've to do a bit of homework. A quick search got me to an article by Stereophile written by Robert Harley on the effects of cable directionality in digital cables. To summarize, he not only heard a difference in so... | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Wish You Were Here - FourplayThis track never failed to spin in the player whenever I listen to my music. In fact, the CD was always in the player for most of the time. My all-time favourite song and also my reference evaluation track to gauge the... | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables Depends whether you bought the cables new or used. I bought my Nordost SPM cables brand new, and they suggested either way is fine, but after sticking to the direction of flow for a certain period you have to continue running in that direction for... | |
| Speaker cable with good mids and highs After almost a decade using Nordost flatline wires, I think I'll most likely settle with a solid core cable. Not only looking for a change in sound but also looks as well! Thanks for the thought though. | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Blindjim,Sorry to hijack this thread, but can you recall as to why it's a "No" to the Shunyata Aries? I seek what in you seek in your original post. Thanks. | |
| Amp/ Pre-amp options for B&W 602 S3s + Bi-wire? If it were me, I would look at a decent integrated amp such as the Arcam A85. A substantially better unit that's worth considering is the YBA Integre DT. The YBA is a very musical amp and sounds fabulous when paired with my B&W CDM1SE's. Other... | |
| Tough choice for a new setup, please look Not familiar with most of the players you've mentioned but I've listened to CEC 51XR and previously owned the CEC TL-5100 transport. Well, in my opinion the 51XR as a standalone CD player is just mediocre and not too impresive but the TL-5100 belt... | |
| Best CD Player under $1200 Try a used Sony XA7ES. It's under $1,000 and sounds better to the Arcam units to my ears. The Arcam seems to be the best of the bunch in your list. | |
| PMC vs. ATC Hi Marco,Congratulations, you just revived a 2 years old thread! May I know which model of the PMC mini-monitors that you find the bass thumpy and the treble etched? You may have the impression that the bass is over-emphasized because PMC's which ... |
