| What were your own blind cable test results? Springowl,A lot depends on the speaker impedance and the amp output impedance. Amps with low output impedance will modify the transfer function as the speaker load varies with frequency. This can become audible when the speaker load vary significa... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, That's the BBC series you're talking about, Shadorne? Yes it is currently the best selling HD-DVD and Blu-ray title on Amazon.I agree with Johnny...some stuff is excellent and some is mediocre and barely much better than DVD. A lot depends on the... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, Not to be negative, but I've sat through a lot of demos of both formats, and have yet to be wowed by any of the content beyond what I've seen done by good DVD-players that upconvert 480p content, or a dedicated scaler component for that matter. I... | |

| Queen song question? Kelton,Here is a photo of me setting up my system. It plays Queen "Now I'm Here" quite well. It seems to have plenty of headroom and may be what you are looking for. A picture is worth a thousand words!Ha! I tricked you...just kidding. That is act... | |
| Power conditioners Is there a reason why power conditioners should not be used with a power amp? Yes...power amps need to store and draw on high instantaneous power (big capicitors and big power supply).....therefore any device that may "choke" power could affect t... | |

| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, I am not sure if you are all aware but someone has already hacked the HD-DVD format over the Xmas holidays 2006.This could be another factor that is driving content providers and industry support towards Blu-Ray.In essence the lower technology hur... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, I just bought the Sony S300 it upconverts DVD's nicely and plays CD's too. I hear that $400 will be the price point at Xmas.IMHO, it is the lack of content/new realeases coming out on HD-DVD that will drive people to Blu-Ray. I already have most o... | |
| Soldering 101 for Audiophiles As per Drjoe....I usually "tin" the iron a bit and then touch the connection to be soldered....once the solder begins to bleed into the connection I apply more solder to the wires....the process is best done quickly as too much heat can damage stu... | |
| Beatles Music The recent release/remaster of Sergeant Pepper CD respects the original Vinyl release faithfully, including inner groove effects. (So I am told as I was a toddler when the original came out and do not own the Vinyl) | |
