| AZ Satori vrs. KKable's 12TC vrs Cardas Quad 5c Glad you are having such great results with the Satoris!As a side note, during the 10 years or so they have been around, a lot cables have come and gone, and these still remain one of the best 'high-end' bargains. They retailed for $598 for an 8 f... | |
| Jumpers for Spendors I'm a dealer, with quite a bit of experience with jumper cables.It can matter whether you hook up to the bottom or top. Not only is there additional cable, but binding posts and connectors will have their likely detrimental effect on transparency ... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Hologram II Speaker cable For Longho and Bigkidz,Long, the original Hologram was designed to be able to biwire 2 way speakers. Many people wanted a single cable (internal) biwire setup for their 3 way speakers. Robert Lee responded initially by making some modifications to... | |
| unico or YBA integre? I haven't heard the Unico, but the YBA Integre is fabulous. If you would like a softer bass, however, you should consider the Audio Refinement Complete Integrated (built by YBA). It's an excellent, very tube-like sounding intergrated, yet doesn't ... | |
| Fedex Warning: $100 Limit Insurance on Ground Ground is always riskier than air shipment. All valuable electronics should be double boxed with cushioning material between inner and outer boxes. You're a fool not to do this. Extra boxes can be found at larger office supply stores (Staples, Off... | |
| can i change my hard wired power cord on my amp? You might have a technician direct solder a new cord to your amp's circuit board, or install an IEC outlet so that you can change cords at will.I don't know if Outlaw has any techicians to modify for this, but it's worth a check. If they do, they ... | |
| How important is speaker positioning?My experience Just a quick note...Often a positioning fix for excessive brightness can be toeing the speakers in or out so they are further off-axis from the listener. Tweeters pointing directly at the ears can often sound too "hot". Toe in will affect imaging ... | |
| Speaker placement at dealers By far, the greatest "tweak" I've found in audioland is SPEAKER PLACEMENT! And it's free, though it will cost you a fair amount of time.With our customers, I frequently go over speaker placement with them. They should not only hear them well posit... | |
| A question about PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. Read the Stereophile Review in their Archives at www.stereophile.com . They cover both versions in their review.While I would go with the 20 amp version over the 15 amp, get the 15 amp IEC with it instead of the 20 amp. PS Audio tells me the 15 am... | |
| Issues from using wrong spkr. termination Using an adapter is the fast solution. Monster has one, AudioQuest sells some that are made by another supplier and sold under other names as well, like Aperture. The extra connections may degrade your sound quality a litte.Unless you have done te... | |

| Oxidation and bare silver or silver coated wire??? GS5556 is very accurate in his statement. Silver Oxide is fine, but exposure to sulfers can be detrimental, though probably no nearly as bad as oxidized copper. Cleaning up your spades once in awhile is a good idea. If I can't clean them up with s... | |
| BNC to RCA Hi Dan,An adapter might degrade your signal quite a bit...ok as a short term solution. Find out if the cable manufacturer will reterminate one end for you in RCA. If not, find a good technician to do the job. | |
| Acoustic Zen Matrix..for me??? Hmmm, well why do building methods and materials keep changing if they build the Parthenon right in the first place? | |
| Quick bi-wire question Hi Matty...There's no need to run a biwired set off of more than one set of terminals, unless your cables are so bulky that the extra space and finger room helps you; or if you have two separate pairs of cable already that you don't want retermina... |
