Too funny Douglas Schroeder! You ask that I not take your first post directed at me personally (the one in which you advised that I not be listened t... | |
| How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers? I don't look to professional studio personnel and technicians to know how to set up a fine home audio system. I advise not to listen to them. I have to assume that you meant me Mr. Schroeder. What a ridiculous statement! I guess that you haven't n... | |
| How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers? That's a great link dsper. I haven't been to Roger's website in years and had forgotten about it. I especially like this tidbit: "When there is an audible difference in speaker wire due to wire capacitance, it can be interpreted as an improvement ... | |
| How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers? You opened up a Pandora's box of opinions here ... so let me stoke it a little further.

| Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used "BUT seven years old!" Why do you think that is old? My experience has been that most speakers last a very, very long time. Maybe cars, computers, and TVs seem old after seven years, but most speakers are more like a wristwatch or camera - moving ... | |

| What's your speaker IQ, and the best speaker? Forgive me Jebsmith73, but you're post is missing the very information that makes this thread interesting: What other speakers have you had the experience of hearing that helped lead to your conclusion that the Rushmores are the best for the money... | |
| What's your speaker IQ, and the best speaker? Well I don't know about you guys, but I am LOVING these posts, although I am developing a bit of speaker envy... This is like hearing the "dirty little secrets" that the magazine reviewers wont talk about! I always wished that these reviewers who'... | |
| Looking to change from Thiel 7's It is **possible** that there is something else "spiking" in your system or power supply? Over the years I've twice had defective ampflification that toasted my drivers (usually at normal playback levels and once during power-up). A swap out of am... | |

| Home made absorption panels..... If you want to use what pro recording studios use, as well as the manufacturers of high-end absorption panels, then you want what's known as "compressed fiberglass" or "rigid fiberglass."Two of the more popular versions of this are the Owens-Corni... | |
| What are some of the best 2 channel sound cards? As a professional recording engineer, I can tell you that the above mentioned Lynx is held in the highest esteem in recording circles. RME products are also excellent(what I use) but possibly slightly less highly regarded. Apogee is the other name... | |

| DAC to Amps bypassing preamp: Opinions please But how can putting an extra piece of equipment between the DAC and the amp possibly improve the sound?? The signal coming from the DAC is as pure and unadulterated as it is going to get. Everything else after that - cables, amp, speakers - is in ... |
