| Interconnect suggestion? Nordost/Kimber/AudioQuest Slappy!!!!!!! Aw, never mind... | |
| Which cables go with what????? When *any* cable is introduced into a system, the signal path has to travel through that cable. Once this happens, neutrality is impossible, audioengr, because the signal is inherently degraded in the mere process of *moving through* that path.As ... | |
| HDTV questions Thanks for all the info, Blueswan! Hugely helpful! | |
| HDTV questions Blueswan...can I ask you a quick favor? I just got Comcast HDTV as well. My problem is that the installer ran the component cables into my 1080i input, and the regular F-pin wire into the normal female F-pin receptor on the back of the TV. Now, wh... | |
| Cable management A new rack with cable management features. Don't put the power cords and the interconnects through the same holes, though...RFI interference. | |
| High End Audio Equipment, Status Symbol? I'd like to see a Celebrity Death Match between the Lockheed Martin sub and the Northrop Grumman power filter. Martin would "go down low", searching the open seas for its target. The Grumman piece would have "regulated voltage," using a slow, stea... | |
| Anyone tried the Lexicon RT-10 universal player? If you check on www.audioasylum.com, you will also find that people who have demo'd the RT-10 say it's a Pioneer in a shiny box. Almost everyone over there was disappointed in the price-to-performance ratio. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 vs A300 I have the A300 (please click on my system if you'd like to see the context). It gives off big, ballsy sound for my (near) full-range floorstanders, and I find it to be quite refined for its price range. Detail and bass extension are also very goo... | |
| Sony 9000es vs. NS999ES I think you should head over to www.audioasylum.com. They have done unthinkable numbers of threads on this topic, and searching their archives will lead to very thorough responses. | |
| Sacd's There are also some very thoughtful and thorough reviews on SACDinfo.com. Plus, the list of new and soon-to-be-released discs is exhaustive, making it by far the best site for SACD software information I have found on the entire Internet. The man ... | |
| PayPal Surcharge Cadmaniac: Why is it illegal if it is simply against PayPal's rules? PayPal's rules are not exactly the U.S. Code when it comes to settled law. Besides, I still maintain that such a "law" would unenforceable and moot, since the seller would just d... | |
| PayPal Surcharge PayPal would have no standing whatsoever to challenge a seller's application of a 3% fee. If they somehow tried to, anyone who wanted to take PayPal would just figure out what they wanted to get for an item (say, $500), then add 3% ($15) and just ... | |
| Denon DVD2900 Vs Marantz Dv8400. Hey, I just thought you might want to know that those sites really specialize in this area! A'goN, on the other hand, is a little more sporadic on the SAVD/DVD-A postings, so I thought you might find it more fruitful to try the sites I mentioned!!... | |
| Denon DVD2900 Vs Marantz Dv8400. www.avsforum.com or www.audioasylum.com (Hi-Rez Highway or DVD-A Autobahn).Those guys live for stuff like this. | |
| SACD and DVD-A: Apples and Oranges? I completely see it your way, but I extend the process a couple steps further. Ideally, I would be able to expand my 2-channel SACD system (please click on my system link if curiosity gets the best of you) into a 5-channel SACD setup. When I do so... |
