| All cables are Neuteral? Korn there is only so much you can do to improve poor recordings, as you suggest many rock/alt especially from 60/70s are bright with too much presence. Three serious suggestions that are still high end solutions. 1)IC:Harmonic Tech Truthlink, add... | |
| Does speaker cable length really matter? Most cable Gurus prefer longer interconnect to amp, as oppossed to long speaker cables. Every system is different cost wise depending on your cables, but for HT 12ft of Pro-9 speaker cable will run you $1180 new, and 12ft of Truthlink interconnect... | |
| Help me Buy an LP-12 Unless you hate Rega, why not upgrade to Planar 25 table with RB600 arm and better cartridge? This is still priced under basic unmodified LP12 and will sound better. The beauty of Rega is its pure simplicity and quality. | |

| Does speaker cable length really matter? All speaker cable is bad, the shorter the better. Why would you want the extra cost and sound issues of 12ft cables? Most audiophiles have speakers set in "near field" position forming 6-9ft equilateral triangle with listening position. 8ft should... | |

| Bi-wire cable versus 2 sets of cable Thtman the "main" reason for bi-wire is not to lower resistance, but to reduce distortion in treble and midrange. The high freq cable no longer has to handle magnetic fields caused by the higher current needed to produce bass signal. This is also ... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Tj thanks for response. HT has an affordable cable that mere mortals can afford to have double runs, and have great sound. I am also amazed at sound I am getting with double runs of Analysis Plus Oval 9, $299 for 8ft new, great sound for audiophil... | |
| Bi-wire cable versus 2 sets of cable First you should always bi-wire if speakers have that capability, even if you have only one amp with one set of 5-way posts, use spades for one pair and bannanas for other. Internal bi-wire is the most cost effective and better than single wire, b... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Apostle or anyone else, have you compared HT Pro-9 to double runs of HT Pro-11, almost the same price and if cost is no factor double runs are preferable to internal bi-wire. Does Pro-9 use higher grade wire? | |

| Spkr Cble- Analysis Oval 9- reviews? Carl there is reason to be dubious about sudden conversion to AP Ovals, when last year Harmonic Tech was the greatest for these online reviewers. Although Stereophile and Absolute Sound have also endorsed HT cables giving these reviewers some adde... | |
