| 4 meter component video cables, what's good? I'm using Belden 89248 for Component level cabling and Harm Tech Crystal Silver for S-Video cabling. I get the Belden at wholesale prices and the HT cabling was a deal that i just couldn't pass up. If you are handy and don't mind soldering to save... | |
| 140wpc into 8 ohms: enough for Contour 1.3SEs? I'm sure that the amp will drive the speakers, but whether or not it will do it with finesse and authority at high volumes or during complex passages will remain to be seen. My experience with Dynaudio's is that they need as much power as you can ... | |
| DIY Dust Cover for Teres or Other Audio Equipments Great idea. Not only is your table "built from scratch", but so is your dust cover : ) I need a dust cover for a Sota that i purchased for my brother as a gift. If you can post pictures, that would be great. Might give some of us the benefit of yo... | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? Your best bet for a Zobel is to build one yourself or to have someone build it for you. The Zobel should be placed at the speaker terminals in parallel across the speaker terminals. Use of Goertz without a Zobel is not recommended, can cause ampli... | |
| How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers???? You mean that you don't have t bi-wire and you can still be considered an audiophile? Who woulda thunk it??? : ) Sean> | |
| What do you think about Legacy Steradian? While i'm not certain of this, the Peavey processor that Ljgj mentioned was "probably" designed by Jon Risch of AA fame. He has done design work for Peavey in the past and may have had a hand in this product. Sean> | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? Drubin: Like i said in that thread and explained why, if you don't like what you hear, it's because something else in the system isn't up to snuff. Don't blame the messenger for delivering the bad news. It is simply passing back and forth what is ... | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? Most speaker cables are deficient in design and using a longer length gives you more of a problem. By keeping poorly designed speaker cables as short as possible, you redue the effects that they have on the system. As such, the logical deduction w... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed RWD: Yes, it is. Contact me via email if you would like to discuss this or anything else further. In case you didn't know it, I am out of here but i still drop by once in a while. I am basically posting on AA and sometimes AudioCircle. If you or a... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed Not having seen this thread prior to today, i just wanted to drop back in and comment that these are like "baby" versions of what i'm running in my main system. For sake of clarity, i'm running a line array of E-stat tweeters, large E-stat mid-pan... | |
| Are today's interconnects really better? The differences from cable to cable will vary with the components that it connects and the electrical characteristics of the cable itself. As such, results will vary and not always in the same direction when there are differences. The key here is ... | |
| Who was this "band" ??? Thanks guys. It obviously was "Bad News". As to Ben's comments, i specifically remember seeing "Bad News" as being advertised at playing at The Cabaret Metro here in Chicago just after that show aired. I'm going to have to do some digging and see ... | |
| Sony 9000ES better CD/SACD than 999ES One of my buddies has a 9000 that he modified and is in love with. From what i can gather, these machines respond phenomenally well to mods, so you might want to keep that in mind. Since you are always better off starting with a good basic design ... | |
| how to biamp with different amps? While i'm not familiar with the ST-3140, i've never seen a 140 that had external gain adjustments on it from the factory. Sean> | |
| Which solid state amp loves a 4 ohm load? Brace yourself or skip over reading my post if you are only looking for "nice words". I would rather "tell it like it is" and let you sort things out for yourself. At least with this approach, you know what you're dealing with and what to expect. ... |
