    The New KITT is a Ford?

    What a joke. They used a cheap muscle car to represent "state of the art". There isn't even a glowing red light on the front of the car like the old one. That can't be official.

    Car Audio Section?

    I had a car audio section on Audioholics when I started this site 9 years ago. I gave it up a year or two later since I was unable to keep up both home and car with only a handful of people writing for me at the time. I later decided car audio really wasn't our crowd or focus and haven't...

    Global Warming'ists Basking in Bali

    That wouldn't be fair for Clint as I outmass him by at least 50lbs unless of course he is a master of martial arts NOT counting video games :)

    Global Warming'ists Basking in Bali

    Beck is far from middle of the road when you listen to his ideals but thats beside the point. Fox is the biggest of all the media outlets and is heavily conservative. As for the UCLA study, it was mostly bogus: http://mediamatters.org/items/200512220003 I am not here to debate the state...

    Global Warming'ists Basking in Bali

    Buckeye, your liberal bashing and anti-global warming stance is becoming quite old. Considering the fact that the major talk shows (Ie. Rush, Glenn Beck, Schmidt, etc) and news media outfit FOX are all conservative you may want to rethink the term "liberal media". you may find this...

    Stereophile mag gets butt kicked.

    I see good ole Wes Phillips is still writing for Stereophile. He must have very attuned ears to hear speaker cables exhibit electrical resonance :) http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/debunking-the-myth-of-speaker-cable-resonance

    RBH Sound TK-5C Bookshelf Speaker System Review

    It was an error on RBH's part as I was originally told they were $400/pair. I was on the fence about giving them a 4.25 for value but since we only rate in 1/2 point scales now, I rounded down to 4 stars. The price adder would drop them to 3.75 but in that case I round up to 4 so it stays...

    Thanks for checking that. I just phoned RBH and they verified they are $499/pair. Sorry for the confusion.

    RBH Sound TK-5C Bookshelf Speaker System Review

    Good catch thanks. The MC-6C is in a different league and I highly recommend that route if you have the extra cash.

    Usher Audio Be-718 Tiny Dancer Speaker Review

    I don't censor our reviewers comments in their reviews so NO Audioholics isn't advocating it, but the particular reviewer is I suppose. :rolleyes:

    Ask Dr. A! Does Speaker Cable Gauge Matter?

    You may wish to rethink that as 18AWG wire has nearly 4x the DC resistance of 12AWG. Thus running 20ft of 18AWG wire would yield the same resistance of nearly 80ft of 12AWG! insertion loss of 20ft of 12AWG with 8 ohm speaker = .07dB insertion loss of 20ft of 18AWG with 8 ohm speaker =...

    My first 1 on 1 with a White Van Scammer

    I have had numerous white van encounters with the following most memorable moments: I was with a lady friend leaving a resturant when two guys in a white van approached her to buy some speakers. When she said she wasn't interested, they insisted the quality of the speakers and retail was...

    Ask Dr. A! Does Speaker Cable Gauge Matter?

    Yes and those are extremely short distances and anything with power connections still usually have 14AWG or soldered on to pcb board with very thick traces. The small wires are usually connection digital circuits and pass extremely low current signals.

    Bands with two drummers?

    Yep, I've got that on DVD and love it though it bothers me they cut songs like Abacab, Duchess short and they didn't use a live version of Home by the Sea, but its still a great disc to have for any Genesis fan.

    Bands with two drummers?

    Genesis of course always tours with two drummers, Phil and Chester. They are a tough act to beat and when they are both on the drums, the songs take on new life.

    Ask Dr. A! Does Speaker Cable Gauge Matter?

    You don't need shielding for speaker cables in 99% of installs. Don't forget a speaker is a low impedance device so you won't get much pickup at all from outside sources. Find out the gauge on the mini COAX but I suspect it will be 18AWG or higher thus I'd recommend either cross connecting...

    Yamaha RX-Z11 First Look

    All wattage specs are NOT created equal. The power of your 2700 is much different than that of the Z11. The Z11 will handle low impedance loads much better and have more headroom to boot. Years ago I owned a $999 RX-V992 rated at 80wpc back before I started Audioholics. I later acquired...
