| Best disc on DVD for audio? Ditto for Hell Freezes Over,my next is a tie: JT live at the Beacon,and just as close Clapton-unplugged.If you have a good 2channel system they sound better in 2ch. To me ss is for movies. | |
| Where do you put your TV/equipment? YUP,Todlers and av stuff don't mix well.Also doug,todlers LOVE to push on the speaker cones.Back to the Ent.cntr. It will impact your.sound stage depth. I would go for one of them big suckers with closeable wooden doors ,and a hook & eye,up hi... | |
| Sheilding Required? I can tell you how to tell.Put your speakers whereever you want to.If the colors(red yellow pink,skin tone to name a few)don't get blotches your're ok.If they do ;move the speakers pronto.Looking for blotches:If there is a large object with thoes ... | |
| Does speaker cable length really matter? Impedences/voltage and resistances outputs vary. Check with the mfg of your amp Generally shorter runs sound better and naturally they cost you less. My guess 1/3rd longer a run is not a good thing;unless you got it free/cheap.Or if room set up di... | |
| CD Transports with AES/EBU Digital Bal Lots of folks ask a question but don't give enough information as to the other pieces that are important. (in your case) Are you running a complete balanced set up? I assume yes,If not there is actually a slight neg (they just don't sound as good)... | |
| Center needed in small rooms ? Generally I would say yes.I underdtand I haven't been in your room.But the center speaker adds to the experiance.I assume you have a pro logic, dd or dd,dts processor.I also assume you are using a by-pass mode. It helps greatly.Also as a side beni... | |
| TOSLINK DIGITIAL CABLE WITH DAC AND DVD You know I admire sdcampbell.Honest enough,and not afraid to tell it like "hears it" If you can't hear the dif. don't pay more for what you can't hear. Can't recall the exact dialog;the movie "Boogy Nights" Remember the sales pitch? Lotta' that st... | |

| Center Channel Height Most everybody seems to forget the center speaker is a speaker and should be on a stand.On top of the tv or ent.center may look better but are not the best choices.You are listening to this speaker just about FULL_TIME This is why the 'big'boys(ri... | |
| Bi-wire cable versus 2 sets of cable The guys ahead of me are pretty much correct.If the speaker has bi wire capability,do so.If you can't afford bi wire of a high quality,get one run (keep it as short as you can)for now;later pick up the second run of the same stuf and use the jumpe... | |
| Best US magazine for equipment review? I pretty much agree with"richardmonk" Altho Steriophile probably has 3 times the readers (just a guess) And so we dn't forget ,audiogon is a pretty good place to reach the people.Get an auction going, and good luck | |
