| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Psychic: I think that "Corona" takes his name from the electrical term i.e. a high voltage discharge, not the yellow water & chemicals that someone is trying to pass off as "beer". As far as "beer" made in Mexico goes, Bohemia is far superior ... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Corona: I wasn't trying to insult you or "lowball" the value of your product. The figure that i arrived at was based on having to purchase one of your products, not the amount of R&D and custom fabrication that went into it. Having said that, ... | |
| Denon 2900: Questions, comments Bob: I'm not trying to sell cables as i'm not in the audio business. I provided those links for two reasons. One is to show that not everything has to cost a lot of money to work well. The other was to provide some background on the "no-names" tha... | |
| Phantom Center sound better than a center speaker? Unless you've got your mains spread out pretty far and / or the mains don't do voice very well on their own, adding a center channel can make matters worse. If i had my HT system set up like most people do i.e. with their mains about 6.5 - 8.5 fee... | |
| Biamping Sounds like the Delilah crossover may have some internal adjustments. Have you ever popped the lid off of it and taken a look ? Sean> | |
| Denon 2900: Questions, comments Bob: The sonics of the SACD 1000 and the Denon are very different from on another. Whereas the Philips was definitely very warm, soft and full bodied, the Denon is measurably more open and forward while also having better harmonic structure and ai... | |
| Biamping Have you done the normal "process of elimination" to verify exactly what is not working i.e. swapped interconnects between channels, changed speaker cables, swapped subs from channel to channel, etc... This will tell you where signal is able to fl... | |
| Review: Marantz DV-8400 CD Player No mention of the interconnects that you are using anywhere. I would look at the cables between the Marantz and the preamp in that respect. You might also want to try some different power cords on the Marantz. I had very similar impressions with m... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Audioengr: Glad to see that we are on the same page i.e. my previous comments about deficient design of the gear ( specifically the power supply ) making them more responsive to power cord changes. If you want to take your designs / upgrades to a ... | |
| AR ES-1 armboard needed Krazykat: You'll have to have the board cut for the specific arm that you want to use. What arm did you have in mind ? Sean> | |
| A personal challenge Kudos to you Jeff and anyone else that has had the guts to make this type of life-change and stick with it.Other than one's own personal health and those surrounding them, you can't believe what secondary smoke does to electronics. If this kind of... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Somewhere in the archives you'll find a post that i made where i actually charted a difference in system frequency response when swapping AC cords on an SACD player. I'm not saying that this is the norm, but that some components are far more susce... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Unsound: A Mobie is G&D's model name for their cable burner, which is no longer produced. Sean> | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? In no specific order:Ohm F speakers: My first taste of TRUE "dimensionality" and "surround sound".AGI 511A preamp: SO much cleaner, clearer, faster than any preamp i had ever heard. The phono stage was miles beyond comparison to anything else.Fort... | |
| comments/questions/ suggestions for Agon Frogman: Hmmm... I think i know what brought that suggestion up. Believe me, i let Agon know what i thought about that one first-hand. Sean> |
