| What is the advantage of a balanced interconnect? Unless the all the equipment you buy has electrical interfaces for balanced line interconnects, you can't use them anyway, so don't worry about it. For home audio equipment balanced interfaces are a high cost "boutique" feature. In pro sound equip... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Psychicanimal...Sure, but would you have the guts to submit to blind testing conducted by someone who doesn't subscribe to your belief?If not, I do understand. Sometimes it is best not to test articles of faith that have great importance to us. Co... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Psychicanimal...I wish there was a way to test you on this issue. You are so very strong in your belief in cryo that, should you guess wrong, the fall would be spectacular! | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Psychicanimal...No, I wouldn't do that, and I don't think Hdm did it to me. If beliefs require deceit to support them, I am not interested.Two points that ought not to be forgotten.1. I am doing this experiment to satisfy myself, not to convince a... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-10 - did they use Advent woofers? I had a couple of Advents when they first came out. As I remember, one of its features was that the woofer was a 10" cone built on a standard 12" driver frame, so as to leave more room for a compliant suspension. A clever low cost production strat... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Hdm and Stehno...Ok. I will dismount both outlets from the boxes, put the extra screws back into the outlet they came in, and ship the outlets, and the box (empty) on to Stehno. He will not know which outlet is Cryo'd. Of course I do. If I had cla... | |

| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Hdm...Sure. Will ship to Stehno if someone gives me an address.The Cryo'd outlet was in a carboard box, the other was not. I have mounted the two outlets in two electrical boxes, marked "A" and "B". One outlet had all four terminal screws, while t... | |
| Negative feedback, voltage and output impedance Sean...Analogies can get you in trouble! One popular management approach today is the "self-directed workforce" where little or no supervision is exercised at the day to day level, and the only thing that is supervised is the overall product going... | |
| Abandonning Powered Speakers - Why? Johnmcelfresh...Your write up describes the advantages of line level electronic crossovers, which I have used with biamplification for decades. Electronic crossovers and biamplification don't require that the elecrtonics be built into the speaker.... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Sean...As you point out "pro" speaker systems are vented and produce lots of boomy bass. However, I notice that the majority of people on Audiogon seem to listen mostly to pop music. It is logical that their music should sound "right" to them thro... | |
| Abandonning Powered Speakers - Why? Of course, "monoblocks" are almost the same thing. | |
| Digital Direct TV vs HD via Cable Edesilva...The dish has a built-in level, and the adjustments have angular scales, so all you need is a boy scout compass. Clue me in...what is the drinking straw for? | |
| Digital Direct TV vs HD via Cable If comparing satelite networks, (Direct TV vs Dish Network) check into the dish angles for your locality. Where I live, Direct TV has an elevation angle of 30 degrees, whereas the Dish Network needs 11 degrees. (I don't know why they are different... | |
