| Cryo'd Decora Outlets? You can purchase any outlet that you like and have it cryo'd by sending it to a cryo facility or forwarding it to someone else that sells / offers cryo'd components. Sean> | |
| Does unequal speaker wire length matter? Sd hit it right on the head. Kudo's to him for taking into account the variables involved i.e. the actual electrical characteristics of the cables being used and how they will affect the system ( tonal characteristics and power transfer ) as a who... | |
| Mods - Odds and Sods??? There is a difference between modifiers and parts swappers. Some of these "tweak guru's" simply swap existing parts whereas others modify ( add / remove ) existing circuitry and upgrade the parts that remain. Some are capable of designing / buildi... | |
| Best digital cable below $500 I'm not directly aware of any manufacturer that currently offers such designs or cabling. Then again, i've not been shopping for digital cables in a while : ) Sean> | |
| listener fatigue? go analogue. Chris aka the Kid said a mouthful and was what i was getting at. Only difference is, Chris had more info to work with than what i did : )Other than that, there is no mention of cabling being used for either interconnects, speaker cabling or power ... | |
| What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines??? Solid conductors are prefered in any given situation except for situations where flexibility or repeated stress is of concern. I know of "honest" cable manufacturers that will agree with this statement even though most of their products are of str... | |
| Album cd or LP with best bass for new subwoofer If you're not "squeamish", a disc by a band called "Master" entitled "Faith is in Season". This is hard metal with "shocking" pictures and lyrics. Other than completely rocking you to the bone, the kick drums will have your woofers flailing about ... | |
| Best digital cable below $500 The best digital cable is one that maintains a consistent impedance that is characteristic of the devices being connected to it. On top of that, it should offer low series resistance, wide bandwidth, low dielectric absorption, minimal skin effect,... | |
| listener fatigue? go analogue. Digital tends to sound "harsher" than analogue. That is, until you find well designed components that use good quality parts and / or band aid poorer performing digital units. Sean> | |
| Smooth sounding DAC? Jayarr: When one looks at a signal at a given spot, it is called "sampling" the data. With digital, these "samples" are taken at very specific but limited points along the data path. One is not taking in ALL of the data, but simply "sampling" it a... | |
| Power cables, I need help As a follow-up / addendum to what Bigtee stated above, i looked into the comments being made by owners of Bryston gear stating that power cords make little to no difference on their gear. What i found was that Bryston incorporates more filtering i... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? If someone is interested in educating themselves on the subject, try checking into these books. I've been doing some reading on the subject and both of these came highly recommended to me by what i would consider experts in the field. The first on... | |
| Break-in procedure Drubin: Some drivers do not have the same excursion capacity in both directions. It is therefore possible to increase the potential for a driver bottoming out when running it in reverse polarity. Due to the initial thrust, which would normally be ... | |
| Would Audiogoners be interested in this? Great idea Ben. Sean> | |
| rebiasing from 4 to 8 ohms? El: You better do some reading on the subject other than theory found in textbooks. Not only do the tubes see different loads at the various taps, the speakers see a different source impedance. When all is said and done, they are all inter-acting ... |
