| HDMI Cable comparisons Russ, get'cha a case of beer for that link, BINGO! While not much was said regarding the quality of materials such as silver plated conductors and such, the big issue turns out to be length.So with that, I'm ordering a batch of Blue Jeans cables s... | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons What I've read so far. HDMI is only affected by it's length. Smaller gauge runs beyond forty feet can begin to drop out. 22AWG is available for runs up to 100'. Many who suggest that other than a slight improvement in a cables construction there i... | |
| Jeff Rowland 501s burn in ... a strange experience After a few hundred hours if your not satisfied I strongly suggest upgrading your power source with a dedicated circuit and metal clad heavy gauge wire.

| Dartzeel 108 vs Ayre Mr-X While you may churn up some interesting experiences such as Kurt's direct comparison, I would require a personal home audition for products at this level. Personally, I trust most of Kurt's information and a first hand A/B on a familiar system can... | |
| In Whose Ears Do You Trust Most? I agonized for months with speaker placement. I was fortunate that a friend of mine actually knows a designer/manufacture and within ten minutes he moved my speakers about four inches further apart and flattened the toe in about 3/8" and the diffe... | |
