| What do you think of this power cord? @bob540 - You might want to include Signal Cable on your short list. The MagicPower PC is 10AWG and at $79 (3ft) is a bargain. Many happy users. http://signalcable.com/magicpower.html | |
| What do you think of this power cord? I have a long-standing rule that anything power-related must be UL listed. No listing, no sale. Signal Cable gets my vote for quality power cords that are reasonable priced. | |
| Phase inverted preamps and Rel Subwoofers. If the speakers are passive and isolated from everything else, there should be no problem in reversing the +lead and -lead going to the speaker(s). As for the Rel sub, connect it in the normal manner and use the Rel's 0/180 phase switch to reverse... | |

| Speaker Spike Bases Use spike shoes/saucers with material on the bottom that keeps the speakers from sliding on the tile floors. Felt may do the job but rubber may be a better choice. | |
| Amplifier Input Impedance I have an analog FM tuner that's very sensitive to output loading, requiring an input impedance of 47Kohms (min.) on the connecting equipment. Unfortunately, it seems that newer preamps and integrated amps have input impedances much lower than tha... | |
| Is there a difference in sound between a coax cable and an optical one? In theory, the coax should be better due to higher bandwidth and less jitter. In my case, the optical sounded better/smoother. An unfair contest, however, as I was using Lifatec glass optical and cheap BJC coax. If better coax comes my way, I may ... | |
| Inexpensive DAC: Schiit Modi 3 or Topping D30 For me, the Modi 3 was an easy decision. The AKM AK4490 DAC chip plus DC-coupled provides the sound I was looking for. Actually preferred it over others costing considerably more. There really seems to be something special about AKM's "Velvet Soun... | |
