| Wireworld Silver Starlight Problem is, I have. I've used $15 Best Buy HDMI; I've used Audioquest cables costing over $300 new. My receiver is a 4K-ready Onkyo with tremendous rep. I've never used more than a 6' HDMI cord from either the receiver or the laptop or the tv. And... | |
| Wireworld Silver Starlight Ozzy, if I'm wrong plain and simple, then the technicians and writers at CNet and other sources (see below) are also wrong. What most of these sources say is that cable length determines picture quality as does the HDMI sending/receiving circuitry... | |
| Wireworld Silver Starlight HDMI is all the same. Unless someone can show definitive refutation of CNet's article, I wouldn't spend any more than I have to on HDMI cables. | |
| What to do with replaced tweeters He never indicated anything about it. Meh. I might auction them off. | |
| What to do with replaced tweeters Yes, the new tweeters are from the same company are part of that company's upgrade ladder on the speakers. | |

| Wireworld Silver Starlight There is no difference between HDMI cables. A Best Buy cape is just as good as a Silverlight. CNet has a pretty detailed expose of this. | |
| Removing components from between the speakers Hi all. In typical net pattern, responses have ranged from helpful to snarky, extending to rejecting, spurious to critical. And, also in a familiar pattern, along the way my original question was blunted and redefined. But I'm quite appreciative o... | |
| Removing components from between the speakers Good responses all. My monitors are pulled forward of the salamander rack. A good 12" forward. So maybe it wouldn't make that much difference, other than putting the tt (a good, heavy VPI) on a more stable platform. | |
| LSA the gem of a good system When I got the Statement back after Mr. Tucker upgraded it, I rolled the 6922's out and replaced them with Amperex 7308 gold pins ($109/tube) from Upscale Audio. It definitely widened the sound and gave it more presence. I wonder if the 6DJ8's wou... | |
| LSA the gem of a good system Larry - how much of a difference would rolling the pre-tubes make? | |
| Reference 3A De Capo BE Review And here's another slightly off-topic question. Should I hold onto my old tweeters from my de Capos that I have left over from when I installed the beryllium tweeters? Should I try to sell them?What have others done with them? | |
| Sold in one day Phd - I agree. When I sold off my first system back in 2003 during a divorce, everything sold quickly - Maggies, ARC's, Musical Fidelity, Blue Circle - everything. Granted, I was living in the Baltimore/DC area and so the population (and money) wa... | |
| Sold in one day I check Agon each day (and sometimes more) to browse and also to see if certain items turn up for sale. I know there are a few components that, if they're priced right, I'll bid on or buy instantly if they're listed. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass Can we stop ankle biting and address the OP's questions? Seriously. I hate it when people hijack a thread for their own aural-ideological differences. |
