| Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea? Bwhite- Veddy interesting. | |
| Labelling CD-Rs Thanks folks. I've got Sharpies a plenty and thought they might work, but was concerned about the ink "bleeding through". I thought I'd benefit from those who've been there before. And I will check out that web site, Ramstl. | |
| Which HT Receiver would you buy? If you are interested in movies only then the Yamaha is fine, but I own a 995 and don't see it as the center of a 2 channel system. FWIW, the DSP modes do nothing for me; they DO NOT sound realistic. | |
| "Phono" Cable - Necessary if you have RCA outs? I think the key word here is market. If you believe that the megabuck ICs offer good value, then you'll want a megabuck "phono" cable. I have no idea if they are worthwhile. | |
| "Phono" Cable - Necessary if you have RCA outs? Its just terminology, as far as I remember. RCAs at one point were often called phono jacks/plugs. Specialized cables that use DIN to RCA are sometimes called "phono" cables because many tonearms with changeable interconnects use a DIN at the tone... | |
| Rega and VPI tonearm owners - READ THIS Sd- If I'm not mistaken(and I very well could be), the coupling of the counterweight to the arm is also part of the Origin-Live mod to the Rega Rb250. But if not, I'll take your advice. | |
| Better Cables.com I have their component video cable in my system, looks good but have never compared it to any others. It appears to be three color coded Canare cables in a common braid (at least the terminations look just like the ones on my Canare digiflex 1). P... | |
| best preamp under 500 for cheap, poor student Subdoofus- We are all just jealous. No need to apologize for your good fortune. | |
| Cable Confusion Serves me right when dispensing conventional wisdom unthinkingly. I have always had similar thoughts as yours regarding the long IC, short speaker cable debate. I never have had the opportunity to test them, but have heard the same mantra from so ... | |
| Hobby, Hobby, Hobby? Depends on what your involvment is. Too me its a hobby, avocation, whatever. To you its a passion (always) and a profession (sometimes). Use whatever term is accurate for your situation. | |
| Anybody have this problem with a CAL CL-10? For the last few months, I have had a problem with the display lighting being intermittent. I am told it has a separate power supply which may be acting up. However, just yesterday, the sound cut out for a while, and then just as suddenly, came ba... | |
| Excellent Component Direct or Why don't you just view both options yourself and decide? | |
| Digital vs analog widescreen tv With respect to internal doublers, just remember that they will "double" all of the noise, garbage, etc. With a good signal they can be very good, but they can also make a marginally acceptable signal look pretty lousy. | |
| Who R U? Hi John, hope to hear from you here frequently. Any check out the old threads on C&W and Guilty Pleasures, you'll find more than a few of us dip into the country, bluegrass, and traditional wells. | |
| Single disc player vs.multiple If you like the convenience of the multi-disk option, try the California Audio Lab changers, CL-5, 10, and 15 (I think). They will be a significant step up and the CL-10 is a former S'phile Class B (FWIW). |
