Volex cables - No longer belden???
Tvad, So, what's your point? Can you help Demianm Or not?Rrog (Answers | This Thread)My point is this. Demianm states in his opening post, "I think all cables are mostly the same." Then he asks for opinions about the differences between BAOHING ma... 
Volex cables - No longer belden???
06-13-10: BnrlawI believe he means that he is not a believer in cables that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars making huge differences.He didn't say that, did he? Let's not read more into what's written. When he qualifies the statement, we'll g... 
Volex cables - No longer belden???
(I am not cable believer....)Demianm (Threads | Answers | This Thread)The fact that you are asking about whether Volex is Belden and if it's good indicates you are in fact a cable believer.Otherwise, if you believe wire is all the same...what's th...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Having heard the benefits of balanced components in my home, and having experienced problems with single ended components in my home, I have to agree with Ngjockey.If the Lightspeed offered balanced operation, I'd say it would seem to be a real ba... 
PayPal Alternative? - What's your opinion?
As a buyer, when you pay with an eCheck, you lose the leverage of a credit card chargeback. This is reason enough for me not to use an eCheck for big ticket items. Not to mention having to keep a large balance in the bank account to which your Pay... 
Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2?
06-12-10: MadfloydMy understanding is that a 600 ohms preamp impedance output (like the Ref 3) requires an amp with 60k input impedance.600:60,000 is a ratio of 1:100.Your understanding is erroneous. 
PayPal Alternative? - What's your opinion?
I think it's a great idea. I wish Chase had that option.I often use bank wire transfers, and each party has to provide their bank routing number and account number. It can get complicated if someone leaves out a digit, and fees result if the money... 
Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2?
A lot of (most perhaps) preamps have output impedance that is too high for the Pass.Madfloyd (Threads | Answers | This Thread)That is just flat out wrong. The low input impedance of the XA-.5 series is 20k Ohms (single ended). If one uses the 10:1...

Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Quantum Ground Lifter...a Leviton 3 prong to 2 prong adapter. It clearly says Leviton on the adapter in the photo.Can't wait to see how much this super-duper SR/Leviton cheater plug sells for. 
Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2?
Input impedance is low in the Pass XA.5 amps. That could be a factor.Tomcy6 (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Only if the output impedance of the preamp is high, which we don't know because the OP is AWOL. 
Tube Power Amp Recommendations around $2000
If you can find used George Wright Signature AU-15 or AU-30 amps, buy them. I'll lay heavy odds that you'll be very, very happy.
