| HDMI confusion: Monoprice vs. Blue Jeans If you are not really using HDMI for audio, i.e. just TV/movies/Blu Ray, then i would recommend the Blue Jeans. It was a HUGE jump from the free cable from Comcast and even a $70 Belkin cable from Target. The colors were much better and the audio ... | |
| Speaker cables where to begin? I recently purchased some Blue Jeans speaker cables for my parents and own a pair of Morrow SP3 cables. The difference really was not that great. The Morrows are cleaner, a bit more refined and offer a better level of detail.The difference was gre... | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? I just got a pair of LC-1 and Belden 10 gauge white speaker cable for my parents' system and decided to try them out before passing them on. Now although they have not been broken in- only listened around 30-45 minutes. They are very good. I am co... | |
| CD transport vs streamer? you really need a better power supply to get decent sound out of a squeezebox, the stock walwart really limits potential. | |
| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 Also has anyone modified their CS2 and DCX2496 mods? How much of an effect did this have? Perhaps i could look into the CS2's and later mod them in the future if the improvement was siginificant enough. thanks. | |
| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 Can anyone compare the CS2 to Salk HT3's? The Salk HT3 is the only other more expensive speaker i have heard. I am a newbie and about to purchase my amp, speaker cables, etc. I figure that my speaker choice will affect these greatly, so i'd better... | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? Dgad, btw which model Belles did you hear? I read somewhere else about the Ushers and Belles combo at a show. Perhaps it is their top of the line stuff-- in which case it would not be a fair comparison.The model i am interested in is the 350a Refe... | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? Will be using the Tube Audio Design's new TADAC, (not available yet) with improved preamp section, which i guess would be quite similar to their old TAD 150. Was thinking about a Mapletree and Altmann DAC, but the Altmann is complicated (needs a b... | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? Ok, forget the classifications then.I'm still having a real hard time deciding between these 3 amps. All three are known as "sounding as good as amps in the 5K-10K range".The Odyssey i've heard is a step lower, but there is an upgrade available, t... | |
| Lessloss or MAC PC's w/ conditioner???? How about buying a conditioner from Running Springs Audio? Or even the Furman Elite or Power Plant? $1200 will come close to the price of one of these used. However, if I run MAC cables from that will i "lose fidelity" according to Knownothing.I l... | |
| Upgrade for TrueHD and 5.1= Better sound or worse? Ok, just realized that i only need 3 pairs of interconnects, not 6 pair. And that a center channel is really not necessary for 1 or 2 listeners.So which is true? Swampwalker says that surrounds are for non critical sounds. Whereas Shadore recommen... | |
| Room open on 2 sides, room treatment? thanks i am aware of GIK. the open areas are quite large, so i was wondering if it can even be treated. I will look into 3 panel screens, would prefer to just buy acoustic based ones and not just waste money to "test" the acoustics.Will likely mov... | |
| Upgrade for TrueHD and 5.1= Better sound or worse? Thanks for the help Edomusica. My primary motivation here is the upgrade to the Lossless codecs. The big question i really have is how it would sound if i just connected 2 channel analog outs from a Blu ray player, and if 2 channel TrueHD is a hug... | |
| High Pwr Tube Integrated for Inefficient Speakers? well, even an all tube system will have its disadvantages. that's why i'm also thinking about the tube DAC/pre with 200 watt monoblocks.it will give good bass extension and fast, quick sound, with a lot of tube dissonance.i'm just concerned that t... | |
| High Pwr Tube Integrated for Inefficient Speakers? I heard a 40 watt tube integrated and it didn't sound that great. Lots of reviews and forum posts have also stated the same. Found another great possibility-- Rogue Tempest with 90 watts, well reviewed and in my price range.However, when i was at ... |
