| RIAA Curve on LPs same for CDs? The RIAA curve was introduced to allow LP's to be recorded with a fairly constant groove width by engraving them with reduced bass signal and increased treble signal. Lower frequency signals have a larger groove width requirement and without this ... | |
| Ancient Cable Experts Please Help. Ikarus, in theory there should not be an average life for cables, they should perform well indefinitely, some types depending on conductor materials, etc can actually improve over the years. If there is any life limitaion it is likely to stem from... | |
| Ancient Cable Experts Please Help. I concur with Redkiwi about the possible conductor oxidization. (Now the part where the ANCIENT CABLE EXPERT part of your post applies!) My own experience with some of the early Monster speaker cables is that the oxidization can be limited to a fe... | |

| Woofer Replacement Sorry, don't have any details for Nestorovics but you could try NewFoam on 1-800-639-3626 and they may be able to help you. Good luck! Richard, www.vantageaudio.com | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Hello Carl! No - not really,the insulation helped to reduce the ability of the conductors to store any energy and act like a capacitor. But "huge" just showed us that it didn't necessarily work for best signal transfer, there is more to be gained ... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables We made some speaker cables for test, the pair using four central conductors of "0" awg each side. The outside diameter of each conductor is nearly 4 inches. These were terminated with smaller "flying leads" for the connections. They weigh a ton a... | |
| Internal Amp Wire: Can it be improved? Are you "handy" with a soldering iron....?? If you are proficient in electronics and feel capable and confident doing an upgrade yourself then I reckon you would notice an improvement with the Cardas wire. If you require any further info, etc give... | |
| Internal Amp Wire: Can it be improved? In our experience some of the early Monster wire corroded internally and over time caused problems (on the clear sleeved wire types this is easily seen as a "greenish" fungus). If you can, seek the advice of your local audio repair specialist and ... | |

| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Electronic components, just like us humans, suffer stress and strain. When electronic components are "powered up" all sorts of changes occur between their static (ie unpowered) and active (ie powered) states. These changes (particularly in high-en... | |
| Web Site for C.E.S. ? Have you tried "www.cesweb.org" as the main page has a link to register. Good luck, Richard, www.vantageaudio.com | |
| Silver Banana Plugs If I remember correctly, a rough guide is if you double up on two of the same gage conductors you drop the gage number by 3, ie two 24 gage conductors equal approx 21 gage and so on. Correct me if I remember wrongly! Richard, www.vantageaudio.com | |
| Why is amp toroid humming? I would keep on to the manufacturer until you get the "hum" problem resloved. I am sure David will work with you on this. In our own experience (and assuming your supply line voltage and frequency are within limits of THE UNIT) we have found that ... | |
| Vandetta Research A/B/C/D differences You're welcome! BTW, be interested to know what he has to say about the various mod's, etc. Let me know if you can, thanks. Richard, www.vantageaudio.com |
