| Should the better AC cable be used on Amp? Source? ''Replies and opinions will be all over the map''I think that this statement in itself says a lot about the lack of consensus on this question, and therefore is probably the best answer too.It would be great to have a remote-controlled switch box ... | |
| Which Coax Cable Do You Prefer Using? I am using the AUDIOQUEST - EAGLE EYE DIGITAL CABLE with the dBS system.Prior to listening to this cable (I had it on loan a full week), I used to think that the dBS plastic box hanging from the cable was in fact a water-tight case where the ''sna... | |
| Ayon Spirit III and Klipsch Cornwalls experience? Mountainsong your comment ''Ayon gear it is hard to beat in many ways including aesthetics and 3D sound''Everything is subjective of course. I owned a nice Ayon Orion integrated for about a year. Identical family styling genes to the Spirit of cou... | |

| Oppo BDP-105 vs. Van Alstine vs. Azur 840C? If you liked the 840C, you would probably have liked the new AZUR 752BD (I own both) over the Oppo machine.Widescreen Review issue 175 where both the Oppo BDP-105 and Cambridge Audio Azur 752 BD were compared by Doug Blackburn:Quote:'' The 752BD h... | |
| Odd length speaker cables Zydo. I agree with your statement:''I don't believe 99.9% of people could tell the difference. Granted, its not optimal, (on paper) but, can YOU hear it? In a blind test, I would put my money on no every time.''And Kr4's scientific contribution:''... | |
| Odd length speaker cables My unusual set-up requires 16ft on one side and 9 ft on the other. I have tried every possible combinations. Equal lengths with one side coiled, equal lengths with no coiling but a mess, name it. Cheap cables, expensive cables, homemade cables, Ho... | |

But then again, I had this on some pretty high-resolving speakers.I still think that $60... | |

I think I may have incorrectly expressed myself in the original question.I was thinking of the DAC's becoming irrelevant for those still wishing to plays CD's while wanting to use an DAC for other inputs.Also, qualifying DACS such as the HRT Strea... | |
| CD player with digital input I am going from a Cambridge 840C to the just released 752BD Blu-ray player with accessible DAC. But only because I own some SACD's and DVD Audio disks and wish to play them.Otherwise I would keep the 840C, it is an incredible machine.Review don't ... | |
| HDCD Decoding ? Sorry, meaning cd's not albums of course ! | |
| HDCD Decoding ? You mention that you have a few hundred albums. If you are judging only by the HDCD logo showing on the packaging that's one thing. But in reality, I would be surprised if you only had 6 cd's with HDCD encoding. I myself have a surprising number w... | |
