| Is there a optimum lenght for power cables? Lol! Don't fall for the dealer's nonsense.Learn how to terminate your own power cables, as I did, and make them the exact length to avoid the cable jungle. I have power cords from 1' to 5' in my system and to my "golden ears" they all sound the sa... | |
| why don't they get it? I was told the bathroom was filthy.I went in, looked around, and had no clue what she was talking about.I guess I just didn't "get it". | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" Pawlowski6132:"Just like anyone can buy a watch for < $100"What a perfect anology for the naysayers. You can pay over $100 for a watch, but because even the cheapest watch has a quartz mechanism, your $100+ watch will not be more accurate :) | |
| Effects of no ground in wall outlet No effect. Just make sure your surge suppression doesn't rely on a ground to divert spikes.My house also has no ground, not even a conduit to ground to. I recommend, if you have the chance, to spend the money to rewire. Just safer that way, and wh... | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" I have Cardas Golden Reference as my main set, with BL-1's as my backup. The BL-1's are excellent cables. | |
| The dumbest thing you ever did to your stereo? I heard that bare wire was superior to bannana's and spades, so I stripped the speaker wires and connected them up. Unfortunately, the stripped section was too long and I crossed the wires and blew out one channel of my amp. $300 later, I put the ... | |
| lack of interest I put an add on Canuck Audiomart for unterminated Crosslink Interconnect and DH Labs Power Plus. Already cut up in various lengths for projects I never finished. I had buyers crawling over each other to get them. I now have an add for a mint set o... | |
| VPI Aries clicking sound... If you pull the motor too far away from the platter, you can put too much horizontal force on the pulley/axle/motor bearing. This caused click with my Scout. | |
| Rogue Stealth vs. Monolithic PS/HC vs. Black Cube I have owned the Rogue and the Monolithic Sound and there wasn't much to choose between them. Perhaps a slightly richer sound with the Rogue.Both were easily bested by the Trigon Vanguard II I am using now. | |
| How to Separate and Insulate AC and IC cables If your cables are properly shielded, I wouldn't worry about it. What I do know is, that if there is a problem, flexible tubing won't help.A better bet would be some braided copper shield, like Belden:http://www.takefiveaudio.com/mall/shopdisplayp... | |
| Sansui AU-217 The Au-217 isn't a tuner, it is an amplifier.If you are talking about the TU-217, which is a tuner, there are no lights in the dial. | |
| Does an integrated DAC/Headphone amp exist? To answer the thread title - Yes, all kinds of them.The Meier-Audio Corda Aria comes to mind. | |
| Cable Burn-In Question Interconnect & Speaker Hey Dave, I'm amazed my post even got through the approval :)Cable burn-in is a touchy subject, so it is best not to state it as a "Known fact". I would probably rephrase it in a more neutral manner.That being said, if I believed in cable burn-in,... | |
| Cable Burn-In Question Interconnect & Speaker Please don't spout your nonsense as "known fact".Cable "burn in" is used by cable manufacturers to convince buyers to keep cables that they would otherwise return.This is a "known fact" | |
| HiFi lacking social recognition? That's because you don't "blow" your bonus by spending it on high-end audio, you are buying a tangible good that will provide you with enjoyment for years to come :) |
