| A-B testing of cables Tests like that are not conclusive. There's just way too many variables in play. Also, I question the salesman's claim about not being able to hear a difference. There's people that hate high end audio so much, they make stuff up. | |
| How is a CD read? "Originally I expected an issue with a component. After troubleshooting it is definitely the CDP. When switching the CDP's left and right cables to the preamp, the issue will fallow."It could still be the CD. Try it on a different CD player. | |
| Looking for new DAC: one box or two? I would say, just go with whatever sounds best and not worry about how many boxes you end up with. | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? "Except that the manual that was linked above clearly states on page 23 that discs recorded on the unit should be playable on regular DVD machines."I agree. But that's not what's happening. lol. Also, don't read too much into my last post. When yo... | |
| Mirage OMD-15 Carpet/Isolation Spikes "For that price I believe I can land some better spikes as it appears the Mirage spikes are not that great (according to the above inputs) Thank you all for your feedback"I may have been wrong about that. I was thinking of the spikes that were on ... | |

| Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray I know you are upset, but in this case you need to be talking to your dealer. The people at Teac have no idea how to sell and support a product like you bought. That's why they have dealers in the first place. What you're doing is like buying a ne... | |
| Receiver HDMI problem What kind of projector do you have? | |
| DVD-R Iincopatability? "08-12-15: Djohnson54Rsjm80, Frankly I'm baffled. This really should be straightforward. Maybe in the early days of DVD recording you might expect to find some drives that supported either +R or -R but not both but we are far removed from the earl... | |
| Cables more hype than value? "08-12-15: WilliewonkaZD542 - I think it makes more sense to some people that a more expensive component provides better performance rather than cables - after all, they employ things like quality circuit boards, quality electrical components, qua... | |
| AV Receiver recommends You're better off doing the opposite of whatever they tell you in Best Buy/Magnolia. Out of all the stuff I've seen on display there, I would go with Marantz. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Tpcarter,You're right, but you're pissing in the wind. I've tried to make the same argument at least a thousand times. The only thing I can tell you for certain, is that for people who argue the opposite position, this has nothing to do with cable... | |
| book speaker against the wall I used to have a pair of B&W LM-1's that were pretty good. The base could be set in 2 positions. One way was under the speakers, so they could be placed on a table or shelf, or behind the speaker, so it could be mounted on a wall. They also ma... | |
| FLAC, WAV or AIFF question For myself, I download WAV because I think it sounds better than FLAC. Once I have the files on my hard drive, I transcode to FLAC and MP-3. From there, I put the WAV files on a backup HD, so if there's ever a problem, I can go back to them and st... | |
