| interconnect burn in via tuner? I can't see how just leaving the tuner on but not have the amp running will break in the cable. It will not be performing any function will it? | |
| Speaker appearance verses musicality. I didn't get my GamuT L5s just for their looks but they look great. | |
| Question on Video Resolution on Pioneer Plasma And don't forget a good HDMI cable. Monoprice has one that is great value; I use Wireworld Silver and Van den Hul, I'm a dealer for the latter. I also replaced the power cord with a small Oyaide on both [ you have to find one with a smaller plug.]... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID! Don't get into anything you have reservations about. If you don't feel deep down that analogue is the superior medium and you can't do without it stay with digital. | |
| Replace wall wart to Simaudio LP3 Hah, my V-DAC cost $299, the LP around $200, the Transparent Reference digital cable lists for $1500 and the Oyaide GPX PC for $500. But it sounds extremely good together and that is the idea , isn't it? | |
| Replace wall wart to Simaudio LP3 I have a Little Pinkie for my V-DAC and it makes a BIG difference; I recommend them enthusiastically. | |
| Question on Video Resolution on Pioneer Plasma We have 2 Panasonic plasmas, a 720 50" and a 42" 1080. Both have great pictures and I can't tell a significant difference. Possibly if I played Blue Ray on both I could but on Direct no. | |
| Speaker appearance verses musicality. Appearance often trumps performance in most things. In 22 rimfire rifles the maximum velocity is developed in a 19" barrel but most are considerably longer because manufactures learned that the average buyer would select the gun with the longest o... | |
| Tube Monoblocks for heavy music on Khorns Paul K. once reproduced a full symphony orchestra with 5 watts on his speakers in an auditorium so in a small room I can't see how all that much power would be necessary unless you really want to deafen yourself. If you are looking for the most vi... | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? I have $15,000 speakers in a 2 channel system and the subs make them sound much better. My RELs are in the corners, where REL recomends that they be. | |
| What to use to clean vpi classic platter? They recommended something called Panel Magic to me for cleaning the older tables. I think it is now called Kitchen Magic or Cabinet Magic, cleans wood, acrylic, and metal if I remember correctly. | |
| new interconnects In mine Cardas has been the best speaker cables, anti cable the worst. All midrange, impressive until you notice what is missing. If you want anti just buy magnet wire, it is the same thing and costs 55 cents a foot. | |
| spendor SP1/2e vs. SP1/2r I have feedback from British forums that it is not as good.I don't see how they could extend the high or why it should be necessary. I have the E's and intend to hang on to them. Spendor appears to be moving further away from their BBC heritage. | |
| Audio's Biggest Loser? Elizabeth, it is the gospel truth. I had my home burgled years ago and that was just what happened. They took the PE changer but not the Thorens 125, the Quad preamp but not the amp, no speakers and so on; just the easily portable stuff went. Prov... | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? Room placement and crossover frequency will also affect the sound. |
