    Speaker Cable Length Differences: Do they matter?

    More often than not, I see the common question pop up in our forums regarding speaker cable length differences between two or more speakers. Folks often wonder if the cable length between the main front channels need to be identical or close to identical. They are often misinformed by exotic...

    THIEL Audio MCS1, SCS3 and SS2 Loudspeaker Review

    For the money you spent, you should not accept the noise and bottoming issues. I suggest contacting Thiel or your dealer for an exchange or refund. At this price point less than perfect performance IMO is unacceptable. This is especially true when you can purchase subwoofers for about 1/5th...

    Audioholics 2004 Product of the Year Awards

    Please reread our Product of the Year awards and you will find that you are confusing Sherbourns Processor with their multichannel amp. We awarded the latter.

    Westlake Audio Cables

    Their white papers on cables seem to fall under our Top 10 snake oil gimmicks category, especially the way they tout "cable distortion" and "dynamic range of cables" without showing a plusable mechanism or measuring method for it. Speaker cables that cost more than a few bucks per foot do so...

    E.Sound CD-E3 CD Player Review

    Perato, its impossible to make this comparision since these reviews were conducted by two different reviewers on different reference systems and acoustical environments. Also, we no longer have the Rotel gear on hand to do the comparision :(

    Audioholics 2004 Product of the Year Awards

    We gave the nod to the Denon AVR-3805 for its slightly more robust amp section, and D.Link capabilities. However, we felt the Yamaha RX-V2500 had the edge in DSP processing and user interface. Both are great products however so much of it depends on your needs. RGriffin you are correct. NAD...

    Cooking Cables, revisted

    It can't be for cooking cables. It must be a portable cooker for grilling hotdogs while jamming some tunes. Nobody is that gullible. Although if it is for cooking cables I wonder if they sound better rare or well done? :p
