| Speaker Height? Sure does... too low and you risk to knock over the beer can or wine glass... an essential part of the experience. | |
| New Eldar CD Live at the Blue Note Yeah this has some of the best audio engineers behind this (and the artist is a prodigy). I believe Doug Sax did the mastering and he has an excellent reputation.Just added this to my list of CD's on order!Thanks for the tip! | |
| Can DAC placement cause CD player skipping? DAC should always be below the CD player...in fact as a general rule audio components in a chain should always be mounted such that the earliest source is highest and the final output is lowest. (For obvious reasons, as gravity will assist in an u... | |
| Plasma vs LCD help, which is better? I second Dtsag comments...Plasma still has the edge (although LCD is indeed catching up) and Panasonic has best value performance in my mind. | |
| World Cup of Audio D_Edwards,You have no fancy cable or tweaks....shame on you. Nothing has a chance of winning a vote without glowing tubes, thick cables supported by power line isolators, spikes for speakers, pads for components, a turntable with a platter sized t... | |
| Tyler Acoustics PD-80's arrived Any pics of your system? | |
| Long interconnect or short Speaker Cables There is no right answer. In all probability, there will only be a very subtle difference in either scenarie.... most likely this difference will be inaudible. So go with whatever setup is most convenient. | |

| contradictory communication Since what you hear is a combination of factors I would suggest that you cannot totally separate anything.....warm and transparency are different as Onhwy61 correctly points out but my guess is they are also related in the way the overall sound is... | |
| This should be controversial....hearing tests... I read somewhere that fanatical audiophiles will sleep hanging upside down during the day and venture out only when it is quiet, at night. | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? Cable Threads on Audiogon NEVER wear out. They are always in fashion and there is at least one each week and they abound with clarity. | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value I am not sure you should expect a private company to publish their books. However, the fact this is being discussed suggests that this add has provoked the desired response.....it made someone stop and think....better still it made a few people di... | |
| Plastic ring over tweeter opinion My preference is to tend to stick with what the speaker manufacturer intended or recommends. I use the same logic with power cords - what comes with the component is acceptable to me. My logic is this: I know far less about these things than the e... |
