| Which AV processors have an analog pass-thru? There are several analogue sources that you may want to keep that way. For instance, a tuner, TT, cassette, etc... would all provide you with analogue signals. No need to convert them to digital and then back to analogue. Hence a pass through woul... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? Bomarc, i agree that there is the potential for differences in perception when the speakers are sitting side by side as close as possible. However, listening directly on axis and in the nearfield ( i forgot to mention that part before ), the diffe... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? I agree with what Kelly is saying up to a certain point. There are sometimes DRASTIC differences that one can run into by varying the combination of equipment within a system. Sometimes this has little to do with price although it TYPICALLY costs ... | |
| Like it or not..... HAHAHA. Thanks for the laugh Albert. I could surely use one right about now. Now that i've finally gotten this thing up and running again, my Brother tells me that his puter is dead. Since he knows about 10% of the 1% that i know about puters, i g... | |
| Low Output MC's- Are We Playing W/ Fire ?? There is one question that i have always wondered about situations like this. Since a very low output cartridge has a smaller window of operation from highest to lowest output levels, isnt' the dynamic range of the system drastically compromised o... | |
| too much power now-dump active for passive pre? I have to wonder what difference it matters the volume control is positioned at so long as it sounds good ? Personally, i would rather have TOO much gain than not have enough. So long as the sound is what you are looking for, forget about how high... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? Paulwp, i WILL go so far as to say that the differences in the "sonic signature" of cables IS highly system dependent. Whether this is due to superior design (stability) of the components or the lack of resolution within the system are but two of ... | |
| Amp quality / Slam I am thinking that you need to work on your speaker placement QUITE a bit. I sincerely doubt that you have them optimized for either good imaging / soundstage properties or bass reproduction. While i am not familiar with the specific model Cambrid... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? I guess that my post was pretty harsh. The point that i was trying to make is that many "educated" individuals try to pass off their limited electrical / electronic knowledge and experience as being "all-knowing" and "factual". The only problem wi... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? Do cables really need "breaking in" ? The answer is a resounding YES. Will they ever FULLY break in under normal operating conditions within a hi-fi system ? I sincerely doubt it. To those that have never experienced the difference between a cable... | |
| Audible differences between speaker cables? I think that some amps are MUCH more load senstive than others. This makes some cable changes VERY noticeable if you have an amp of this type. The only one that i've ever seen really dwell on this type of "measurement" though was Moncrieff of IAR.... | |
| Granite under your amp??? I think that there can be MAJOR differences with various tweaks such as those that are weight, isolation, coupling, damping, etc... based depending on the type of flooring that one is on. Someone on a hard concrete slab will have VERY different re... | |
| What's Your Favorite Party Music? I typically end up playing DJ at the parties that one of my buddies throws. He's got a great place for big parties in an un-incorporated area i.e. NO police or neighbor problems. He also sings ( we think that's what he's trying to do ) in a band, ... | |
| Will people buy Snake Oil? Doug, you forgot about "system synergy". While the yellow gel and brown gel do nothing individually, it is when they are mixed together that they really begin to shine. However, as with any other audio based product, you may have to play with the ... | |
| Need Help I had similar problems with a Sony RX that i took to a friends house for him to use. This model had one of their "fancy" pulse width ( or some funky name ) power supplies in it. No matter where we plugged it into in his house, it had a nasty buzz ... |
