| Bi-Amping Even with active x-overs etc. going from 100 watts to 200 watts is at best only 3dB increase. This is just past the verge of an audible increase in SPL. | |
| Good power cord for Rotel? If it pleases you to think so, it's fine by me.I just don't like it when some person trying to put together a good, but not necessarily even high-end, system is told to buy a bunch of expensive cables and his system will be transformed "to the nex... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? 50K for a fine car is a deal in comparison. Worst come to worst, at least you could sleep in the Lexus. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? The first step is admitting that mega-buck cables are snake oil. | |
| Looking for a new powerful amp. Then get this one http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1136581409. More power and "slam" than you can shake a stick at. Yeah, the Crown name scares away some audiophile types, but this is not your typical Crown amp.Check this out fo... | |
| Bi-Amping It's going pretty much as it should.I think those amps are 100 w/ch each, yes?Even if both amps were fully additive in the bi-amped configuration and equal to 200 w/ch, it would be only a 3dB increase in volume. 3dB is generally the point at which... | |
| Better cables Blue Truth v Audioquest Bedrock Yes, here are my thoughts.Save your money for something else more meaningful like new CDs/DVDs and just get some plain old wire of 16ga or larger. 12ga and larger is overkill, but no biggie if it trips your trigger. | |

| DIY IC cables I have a few from Blue Jeans Cable. I am not going to proclaim they sound any better or worse than others, but I will say the quality is excellent.They use very good Belden or Canare cable (your choice) and very good terminations.If you want a hob... | |
| Good power cord for Rotel? Would someone please explain how 6 feet special of power cable is going to make your system sound better (assuming, of course , the standard cable is not broken)?I'm just not seeing the logic here. There are countless miles of plain aluminum and h... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous...Heard them? I don't even have clothes nice enough to be allowed into any place that sells these. :) | |
| Audio from a DVD player-that far behind sonically? I think you may be on to something with your last statement. Perhaps the 2-ch downmix of the DVD is affecting the quality.Have you tried to play the same CD using all the same gear, just switching between the Denon and the redbook setup? If they s... | |
| Threshold/ What is the Stasis topolgy? Unsound,An optocoupler/optoisolator is basically a LED and a photosensor in close proximity. One part of the signal lights the LED which shines on the photosensor to operate another part of the circuit. Almost always (dare I say always) these appe... | |
| Thoughts on A/V receivers Have heard lots of good things about the Arcam AVR300. | |
| Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub? No self-respecting HT afficianado would have a theater without a sub. :) |
