| Tyler Acoustics PD-80's arrived Any pics of your system? | |
| Long interconnect or short Speaker Cables There is no right answer. In all probability, there will only be a very subtle difference in either scenarie.... most likely this difference will be inaudible. So go with whatever setup is most convenient. | |
| Newbie looking for system suggestions I agree with Bojack. If you budget 80% of the cost for expensive CD player, amp, preamp and costly cables and then combine this with $1500 speakers....with careful selection you will have an excellent system but you will miss out on a whole level ... | |
| So how's it going with HD DVD? I have two HD sets at home and the difference between ordinary TV and HD is significant, however, normal DVD and HD is not such a big improvement.Sports is where HD excels... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? Seriously...no Edison's or Victors?Check out this really old stuff...http://www.talkingmachines.com/ | |
| contradictory communication Since what you hear is a combination of factors I would suggest that you cannot totally separate anything.....warm and transparency are different as Onhwy61 correctly points out but my guess is they are also related in the way the overall sound is... | |
| This should be controversial....hearing tests... I read somewhere that fanatical audiophiles will sleep hanging upside down during the day and venture out only when it is quiet, at night. | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? Cable Threads on Audiogon NEVER wear out. They are always in fashion and there is at least one each week and they abound with clarity. | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value I am not sure you should expect a private company to publish their books. However, the fact this is being discussed suggests that this add has provoked the desired response.....it made someone stop and think....better still it made a few people di... | |
| Plastic ring over tweeter opinion My preference is to tend to stick with what the speaker manufacturer intended or recommends. I use the same logic with power cords - what comes with the component is acceptable to me. My logic is this: I know far less about these things than the e... | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K You mentioned a preference for female vocals/jazz. Diana Krall "The Look Of Love" won a Grammy for Best Engineered Album in 2002. I believe it was mastered by Doug Sax on ATC SCM 100ASL's. These speakers are currently listed on audiogon used for $... | |
| Best used amp in the $1500 range Bryston 4B ST for power amp...and Rotel make some very good low cost 2 channel preamps (way less than your price point if you dont need a turntable pre-preamp) | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? Cables tied to the bedposts perhaps? Normally for audio use, cables should last until the insulation hardens and cracks or until the copper corrodes away, which is probably of the order of decades... if not centuries. | |
| Volume on HT not what you think it should be? These processors have the power of a PC and the features that are almost infinite.....but they have the interface worse than a digital watch....no surprises!The one feature I like most is that my DSP resets volume levels when shut down. Another fe... | |
| XLR or single ended cables and why? Shadorne, Is it a big deal to have an extra increase of 6db with XLR ? That's a lot of extra juice. Running either at 4 or 8 ohm, It requires double in wattage power for each 3db increase. Isn't it ? BTW, I have my MD. pulled the wool out of my e... |
