| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life OK, so I'm not cool. I knew that. I've been told that for all my life.But I'm happy. I enjoy my audiophile hobby affliction. I like learning about equipment, systems, music, recording, the personalities in the industry, etc. I like getting caught ... | |
| rewiring preamp will it work Your headphones' impedance could be too low even all by itself. Many headphones have impedances like speakers', in the 4 to 16 ohm range. (Putting a high impedance amp in parallel to a pair of headphones would not make a lot of difference.)Presuma... | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? I've often felt that quality control is a corporate choice.

| shipping boxes for heavy electronics Perhaps you could buy a box from Parasound. If you contacted their service department, maybe they have boxes that they sell to people who want to ship their amps in for service. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? In recent years (since this thread was started more than 10 years ago!), I have become a big fan of Chris Botti. I have attended a number of his performances (at McCarter Theatre in Princeton as well as the Blue Note after Christmas), and I have t... | |

With that, the implication is that lesser cable has some impact on the signal and that "better" cable has less impact.I too... | |
