| Will people buy Snake Oil? Since when does an "audio product" need to support the claims made for it or be subject to certification ? If the "green gel" is somewhat akin to "runny mucuous", you might even be able to claim that it is "all natural" too... Sean> | |
| Hearing local radio through speakers For the record, i'm still "bootlegging" off of my Brother's puter. Hope to have mine up and running this weekend.Let's look at this logically. Most problems can be tracked easily if you do them systematically. 1) You state that you now have the ra... | |
| Dedicated line which wire? Ernie, you have to remember that some amplifiers are not very efficient to start off with i.e. pure Class A or very rich A/B, so they pull a lot of power. Especially if we are talking a couple of hundred watts output. Couple this with in-efficient... | |
| Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV I recently read that Flat screens are NOT as "accurate" or can't be dialed in as well as a curved screen. Anyone else know anything about this ? Sean> | |
| Closet audiophiles Kurt, my guess is that Anne has a VERY large "walk in" closet. As such, she can probably "mix and match" components and sizes to suit her wants and needs. Thanks for the laugh though : ) Sean> | |
| Dedicated line which wire? Glen, thanks for taking the time to produce the figures and data that you did. It is good to find someone that works in this specific field support some of my basic statements. My line of thinking is that the figures that you provided would probab... | |
| Cryogenically treated cables Gboren, i've used two different "cable burners" with varying results. I had a Duo-Tech that i could never tell any difference with. I then went to a Mobie made by G&D Transforms and WOW !!! This thing actually works and makes a VERY noticeable... | |
| plinius vs perreaux integrateds Wow Red, it's no wonder that we missed you. Your description of the two was spot on according to my experience. The Perreaux's are warmer and smoother ( slightly veiled ) while typically displaying gobs of "power" i.e. massive bass impact. The Pli... | |
| Hi-fi CDP vs. DAC + entry CDP A good one box player SHOULD beat seperates IF properly designed and executed. Shorter signal path, less cabling, lower jitter, etc... are all common sense reasons why this should hold true. However, many designs are not well executed and don't ta... | |
| 600 used speakers? There is never a need to appologize to anyone for the equipment that you have or what you like. The bottom line is that you are the one listening and enjoying your system, so make yourself happy. If this gear does the trick for you, so be it.Havin... | |
| plinius vs perreaux integrateds I think that this has been covered relatively in-depth both here and on the Asylum. You can probably do a search and find out quite a bit of info / personal insights on this. Sean> | |
| Need advice on what is a good A/C enhancer. Running balanced simply means that anything that is not commonly found on both phases is not reproduced and that both phases of the waveform will remain symmetrical. This does not guarantee removal of all noise since the noise could be found in th... | |
| Amp cutting out/shutting off at same place on CD Depending on the drive level from the source, the dynamics of the recording and the overall gain characteristics of the amplificiation chain, most systems are running at or very near rated power with the volume control at appr 1:00 or 60% of wide ... | |
| Best thread poster for 2001? I think that we are blessed with a lot of very helpful and courteous individuals here. I feel honored to contribute amongst all of you and hope that you know this. Other than those already mentioned and you who have contributed to this thread, i'd... | |
| Dedicated line which wire? 1) #10 is heavier than #12, so he would therefore be lowering the series resistance and voltage drop. This would NOT create a bottleneck in the system as you suggest. Wire gauges work BACKWARDS from what most people think i.e. 8 gauge is thicker /... |
