| Is vinyl dead ? Psychicanimal: While i agree that Vader's installation seems to be configured much moreso for convenience rather than performance, i sincerely doubt that the dealer had anything to do with this. As to the specific selection of gear that anyone own... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Albert: That's a good point about the "safety" concerns of "sharpened CD's". Never thought about that one but i agree that the potential is there. Especially if someone throws it at high speed : )Iseekheils: I've actually "trimmed" some blank CD-R... | |
| Which cables go with what????? I recently posted a link from a thread on AA and tied it into this one. If someone wants to read it and the comments that were made there, you can find it in a thread entitled: physical basis of synergy. I tied the two together as i thought that t... | |
| Older Infinity subwoofers--what is a servo sub? Servo circuits are basically an outgrowth of the negative feedback circuit that takes into consideration the actual movement of the driver(s) itself. If the driver is "throwing" too far, the amp cuts back signal to correct this. If the driver is n... | |
| What would you choose among these to amp? I would not use an Adcom 5800 with any speaker of a vented design. I have no experience with any of the other devices mentioned. Sean> | |
| exchanging hard-wired power cords? When replacing a cord, it is important that you maintain both proper polarity and safety. While altering the polarity of the power cord could incurr a safety hazard in itself, i'm talking about adding some type of "strain relief" to secured the co... | |
| What are you all doing to modify your cds? Buscis2: As far as the point / counterpoint goes, the article the i linked to provided repeatedly verifiable information from an unbiased source i.e. test equipment. The article that you referenced is pure speculation based on subjective opinions ... | |
| Best RCA female output connector.....a CD player ? Pilar: For Eichmann to make a female RCA, they would have to make the males and females in such a manner that they would be "keyed" to fit in only one way. Otherwise, it would be hard to make a ground connection due to the limited points of contac... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Matchstikman: Why don't all manufacturers use the highest grade parts to produce all of their products ? The bottom line is marketability and profit margin. What most manufacturers make is considered "good enough" and built to a price point. If on... | |
| Have you heard the Acoustic Reality digital amps? I should have said "sonically superior" rather than "measurably better". Thanks for clearing up what might have been taken as a misconception Brian. Otherwise, i agree with your comments about connections. I had forgotten all about that and am gla... | |
| What are you all doing to modify your cds? For some reason, Audiogon has things set-up so that one can't add or correct a link after the original post has been submitted. Here's the above address in a clickable link. Sorry 'bout dat... Sean>http://www.digital-recordings.com/cdcheck/sens... | |

| Reverse biwire speaker cables? There is no problem doing what you want to do other than if the cables have some type of network box or "directionality" to them. I would not suggest leaving any cables that are connected to the amp unattached at the speaker end. This could open u... | |
| Have you heard the Acoustic Reality digital amps? The amp and preamp were demo'd at a Chicago Audio Society meeting for us. While these were under less than ideal conditions, they were measurably better than another digital amp ( don't remember make & model ) and a Stan Warren modified Adcom ... | |
| Which cables go with what????? Corona: So, now you are trying to say that "proper" power cords could correct / reverse the physics involved with speaker design ? That is the only way for me to take what you are saying... Sean>PS... I think that ports with flares on the entra... |
