| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't Tpsonic: Without starting a lynch mob, it would have probably been more appropriate to state that you sell these products at the time of recommending them than when decided to retract that recommendation. Having said that, at least you made this p... | |
| Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema Speaker cable Darrylhifi: "Listening To The Poeima XLR interconnects and speaker cables is like listening to music on another planet."Can you hear anything when there is no air to carry the sound? Do you have to worry about meteorite showers? Is that like liste... | |
| DD/DTS decoders. A lot of times, it's not so much the decoder's used, but how well the support circuitry is used. I've seen less then optimum parts perform better than highly specialized parts that were implimented in a poor design. Having said that, a designer / ... | |

| HELP Lack of bass with Pioneer PD-65 Elite I've got a PD-65 that my Brother was using as a transport for a while, but i can't remember what it sounded like when used as a player. As far as the comments about the Philips 963 goes, this unit is VERY "warm & bloomy" sounding i.e. it is fa... | |
| Should interconnects stay put for best transfer?? Connections that remain intact for a long period of time are prone to introducing distortion. I'm not saying that one should loosen and re-connect their cabling at every listening session, but simply pulling and re-seating the connections can some... | |
| Are vintage speakers really that good? The mains and surrounds in my HT system were designed and sold in 1979. The mains cost me $250 for the pair and weighed appr 140 lbs apiece from the factory, not including the box. The surrounds are slightly smaller versions and weigh just a bit l... | |
| Big caps v Little caps Bigger caps typically have a higher ESR. To try and put that into English, a high ESR is equivalent to a higher series resistance / slower cycling of power delivery & charging. By using multiple smaller caps AND selecting specific values that ... | |
| Help: AM antenna and AM reception Sugar is right on the money. Get the longest piece of wire that you can hide hooked up to the tuner as an antenna. This should help. AM is such a low frequency that the wavelengths are quite long. The longer the wavelength, the longer the antenna ... | |

| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Tom: That was a very interesting post and test results. I do have some questions for you though. I am NOT doubting the results, just curious as to your thoughts on the subject.1) If the Sistrum system of resonance control claims to drain both air-... | |
| Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong? I think that it is a natural tendency for one to reduce the quantity of music purchased as they age. When we are younger, you have more free time, you go out more with your friends, you hear more music both in night-clubs and at concerts, etc... A... | |
| What can the average enthusiest do to get A+ HT? Unsound: Yes, i do believe that those doing the mixing for multi-channel video typically provide better results than what we get out of multi-channel music recordings. The primary reason for this is that movies have sounds from every direction whe... | |
| Help me find it again Newbee is obviously NOT a "newbee" as he consistently offers insightful responses.As a side note, Stereophile just reviewed a pair of Piega's. Their basic suggestion was that these were nice sounding speakers, but not for anyone wanting a fuller, ... | |
| Home audio drivers vs. car audio drivers Cdc: "You say Dan Wiggins can't use a vented box that can outperform a sealed box but he shows how he can."Beat it in what manner? Given optimally tuned designs, a vented box may have greater extension and output, but it will never have the same a... |
