Signal direction
While you'll get differing opinions on this subject, i would say that you shouldn't really experience any "directionality" problems with this cable. That particular cable is comprised of dozens upon dozens of stranded cables. It would be next to i... 
A question concerning ethics
Brulee, i forwarded some of the pertinent info to Audiogon a few days back. I have yet to see / hear anything from them. Since this is their site, i made them aware of the prime offenders and will let them deal with it. If the offenders continue t... 
Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital
Plato, if you re-read my post i said that a system of that nature would give him a solid "glimpse" of what top notch vinyl had to offer. In other words, a good "bang for the buck" type of offering. After all, Wonjun might not like what is involved...

Sony DVP9000es lock up problem ?
I was having problems with discs skipping or freezing up in my Sony ( non DVP 9000 ) DVD player even though they play fine in another unit. I cleaned the lens and everything went back to normal. While this might not solve your problem, it is a qui... 
Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital
Why tie up a TON of money when you don't even know if you'll like the end result ? My suggestion is to look for a reasonably priced yet good performing USED rig and go from there. This should give you more than a glimpse of what analogue offers wi... 
Kenwood KT-1000 Tuner
http://www.geocities.com/tunerinfo/While these guys are geared more towards listening to distant broadcasts ( FM DX'ing ) than being audiophiles, the two different outlooks somewhat blend together. It all boils down to a tuner with good performanc... 
A question concerning ethics
Tom, you bring up a good and simple point that we all probably agree with in theory. Most of the experienced regulars ( read that as meaning "someone that has learned the hard way" ) ALWAYS suggest trying something out for yourself within the conf... 
"Double" bi-amping a good idea?
I'll jump in here for Bob and he can add / change as he sees fit. Others are always welcome to do the same as i am not above making mistakes. I would rather be corrected and get "spanked" in public than to spread "disinformation".When you bridge a... 
A question concerning ethics
Folks, i can't take credit for such an idea. It has already been implemented in other forums as i mentioned. As such, let's call it "liberal borrowing of ideas" : )As to the comments that Angela 100 made, i see nothing differentiating any "average...

Multi-channel amp question????
Some observations based on my past experience with some of the mentioned products. I'm bearing in mind that he's going to be using the Paradigm's:Acurus: I would NOT recommend this combo, even if it was one of their "new and improved" A series. I ... 
Best 20A IEC power cord
Ozfly, my PERSONAL opinion is that any cord with a MINIMUM gauge of 12 gauge can be used for 20 amp service. The only "conditions" that i put on that statement is that the connections on the cord are extremely solid and the cord is of reasonable l... 
Audiogon Grading Scale - the gold standard?
I feel for you. I can only begin to guess how far your jaw dropped and how heavy your heart was when you took them out of the packaging. Expecting to get something that is "mint" and ending up with something like that is truly a heartbreaking expe... 
Best 20A IEC power cord
Mr Chips, is it not possible that rch10 was simply basing his statements on a comparison between a standard 15 amp version of the Pure Note Epsilon against the BMI Whale ? As such, isn't it possible that rch10 made a logical deduction that the 20A...
