| Sonic difference 1.0m vs 1.5m digital cable Digital is an RF signal and changing cable length with an RF signal WILL alter the response of the circuit. This is true UNLESS the input, output and cable impedance are all identical. Anybody that tells you differently lacks experience in this sp... | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord That's a good point Chris. Bob likes to use the Schurter's, which may be why he wants to solder rather than crimp. As to soldering vs crimping, i think that a lot of this has to do with how good of a connection that one can make with a crimp and t... | |
| where to look,explanation of tube amps, i know If you want to learn about tube circuitry, this should help, even at a discount price : ) Sean> | |
| Breaking in power cords Warren: I too noticed that we agreed on something. It is nto the first time and i'm sure that it won't be the last : )Cooking an interconnect regardless of how many hours of actual use it has on it will typically improve the performance of the cab... | |
| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? Great responses from very level headed Agon members. Sean> | |
| Breaking in power cords Fatparrot's suggestion to use one of those little "ceramic" space heaters should work great. On low power, they pull about 750 watts and on high power, most are up around 1250 - 1500 watts of draw. This is steady state draw too, so there is a lot ... | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord Listener: Never worked with the Walker stuff, so i have no idea as to whether it would improve the performance or not. From what i gathered, it is basically some type of conductive grease with silver particles imbedded in it. Given that one would ... | |
| Pass vs. Edge When comparing amps of this quality, you better have AT LEAST a good dedicated 20 amp line just for the amp. As a side note, the newer Pass amps are using better quality rectifiers in the power supply, so the bass should sound both more defined an... | |
| Mapleshade records: Pick the best of Audiomax: I think that we are in the same boat. I read the descriptions of these discs and none of them comes across as exciting to me. That's why i posted the question that i did. I was hoping that someone else was brave enough to go out on that ... | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord These cords put to use very simple and commonly understood factors of electrical conductivity. Why other companies have such a hard time of doing or understanding this, i don't know. There are ways to improve the design of this cable even further,... | |
| speaker cable for HT HT is FAR less picky in terms of basic componentry and set-up. This is why many of the "videophiles" find the extremes that "audiophiles" go to quite "silly" or "over the top". Buy good stuff that offers great bang for the buck and be done with it... | |
| Mapleshade records: Pick the best of Thanks for the responses. I'm sure that others are interested in this too as nobody wants to buy discs that are all flash with little substance. As such, please keep the suggestions coming as diversity of opinion is what makes the internet such an... | |
| MC352 into varying-load speaker? Ron: I appreciate your responses. While we could continue down this path for quite some time, i'm glad that you've at least taken the time to share what you did with us. It is enlightening to know that there are still manufacturers around that don... | |
| Least Controversial, Reasonably Priced AC Upgrades Volksigti:A) Where can I buy retail-since I need it relatively quickly-the Square D Surge protector.You should be able to find this at any electrical supply house.B) Is the 10 gauge twisted pair wire available at Home DESPOT or Lowes?I sincerely d... | |
| Loreena McKinnet Remasters I love Loreena but probably won't bother buying the re-mastered discs. On a good sounding, the original recordings sound phenomenally lush and smooth with just the right amount of attack and "roundness". I agree that some of these discs sound a ta... |
