| 35 and 40 ft runs-Balanced will be expensive Just because a studio or pro uses something, that does not make it "good". It just means that it works and will get the job done. How many "studio" recordings have you heard that sounded horrible ? Do you think that they specifically mixed them to... | |
| 35 and 40 ft runs-Balanced will be expensive You could easily build some high quality balanced cables at the length that you need for well under $200 total. At that length, balanced is the only option that i would think about. Speaker cables or RCA's of the same length would not be an option... | |
| Does Your Computer Sound Like a Jet Engine????? It used to sound like a jet engine. Then i filled the tower with J.B. Weld. One might think that the puter would stop working, but it actually runs much faster. All of the JB solidified and now acts as a heatsink. Who needs a fan ???? I was thinki... | |
| Do I need a Surround Sound Preamp or Processor Another alternative route would be to find a DVD player that has a processor built into it. You could then directly hook the outputs of the DVD directly into an amp and go from there. The DVD player will have complete settings for independent outp... | |
| If you weren't at the CES 2002, check this... Hueske, some of the demo's are hit and miss. You might stumble into a room and think "man, this is nirvana" and then come back later to have your ears bleed. It all depends on the source material. Sometimes this is done at the request of a consume... | |
| Anything exciting at CES? Vegasears, the bottom line about the Pioneer is "does it sound good, on ALL sources" ? Sound and Vision just reviewed the Apex "all in one" multi source digital player and it is a piece of junk ( much as i suspected ). I have a hard time believing... | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic Thanks for FINALLY admitting the truth Tim : ) Sean> | |
| Which AV processors have an analog pass-thru? There are several analogue sources that you may want to keep that way. For instance, a tuner, TT, cassette, etc... would all provide you with analogue signals. No need to convert them to digital and then back to analogue. Hence a pass through woul... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? Bomarc, i agree that there is the potential for differences in perception when the speakers are sitting side by side as close as possible. However, listening directly on axis and in the nearfield ( i forgot to mention that part before ), the diffe... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? I agree with what Kelly is saying up to a certain point. There are sometimes DRASTIC differences that one can run into by varying the combination of equipment within a system. Sometimes this has little to do with price although it TYPICALLY costs ... | |
| Like it or not..... HAHAHA. Thanks for the laugh Albert. I could surely use one right about now. Now that i've finally gotten this thing up and running again, my Brother tells me that his puter is dead. Since he knows about 10% of the 1% that i know about puters, i g... | |
| Low Output MC's- Are We Playing W/ Fire ?? There is one question that i have always wondered about situations like this. Since a very low output cartridge has a smaller window of operation from highest to lowest output levels, isnt' the dynamic range of the system drastically compromised o... | |
| too much power now-dump active for passive pre? I have to wonder what difference it matters the volume control is positioned at so long as it sounds good ? Personally, i would rather have TOO much gain than not have enough. So long as the sound is what you are looking for, forget about how high... | |
| Do cables really need "breaking in"? Paulwp, i WILL go so far as to say that the differences in the "sonic signature" of cables IS highly system dependent. Whether this is due to superior design (stability) of the components or the lack of resolution within the system are but two of ... | |
| Amp quality / Slam I am thinking that you need to work on your speaker placement QUITE a bit. I sincerely doubt that you have them optimized for either good imaging / soundstage properties or bass reproduction. While i am not familiar with the specific model Cambrid... |
