Courtesy of Mudcat This effort is an offshoot of my search for a decent performing large OD cable, which will be used for my DIY speaker cables. When I bought my first really good pair of speakers, the salesman sort of talked me into a set of Monster MCX-1S cables. I had been/ am a zip cord...

OK I lied heres another post :) Unregistered; Realize test instruments such as the ones we utilize to measure cables (Wayne Kerr 6420) are 1000's of times more accurate than the human ear. Also these machines when properly calibrated are far more consistent and precise than the human...

WmAX; I agree with you 100%.

Unregistered; Unfortunately I don't have the time to sit and debate you point for point on this article, especially since you didn't bring any technical discussions to the table, only speculations and red herrings. I don't want to turn this into a political debate so this will likely be my...

Valid logic assuming the sources are inaccurate. Where is it stated in the article in question that .5dB isn't heard? excerpt from the article: Thus the actual loss in question was only .051dB about 10 times less than human audibility. Human hearing is very insensitive to amplitude...

Pinnacle introduces a new solution for space saving subwoofers: the SUBcompact6. The new SUBcompact 6 powered subwoofer is housed in a diminutive ~8” cube. The SUBcompact 6 produces deep, authoritative and convincing bass down to 28 Hz (@ -3 dB). Pinnacle Subcompact6 Subwoofer!

A speaker design based on an MTM configuration with center channel placement in mind can still work relatively well as a horizontally placed center channel by using a 4th order Linkwiitz-Riley acoustic slope crossover to integrate the mid-woofer and tweeter vs. the 3rd order slope traditionally...

K&B Signal Solutions is a newcomer to the audio industry. A group of Mechanical Engineers set out to produce affordable and well performing cable products, snake oil free. One unique perspective they bring to the table is their very clever and practical terminations comprised in their new...

I sure hope so, but since the cable industry is kinda small potatoes, one wonders if the FTC would focus on the fraud.

IMO, either of the two systems you are considering are a significant upgrade from your Cube speakers. From our experience Axiom offer very high value and many forum members here are happy owners on them. You may also wish to check out our 5.1 Speaker Shootout for other options.

If you already have a receiver with DTS 96/24, you should be good to go. I have a few discs in 96/24 and they sound awesome! This really is a good sign. DTS is kicking BUTT and taking names :)

By shorting 1 10AWG cable to use as the (+) and one for the (-), essentially doubling up on your wire, you lower the effective gauge by 3AWG. Thus your 10AWG speaker cable will now become 7AWG. This does lower resistance considerably, but 10AWG wire is already low to begin with. If your runs...

Rumor has it that Collins hinted about a reunion on his most recent solo tour, so we shall see. Though I agree, probably without Gabriel for sure. I didn't know they had Invisible Touch Tour on DVD. I just picked up "The Way We Walk" on DVD and was disappointed in the sound quality, but OMG...

DTS announces the availability of two new DTS pro audio software encoders. These are the first commercially-available solutions for creating high-quality 96kHz and 6.1-channel discrete DTS-ES soundtracks, the DTS Pro Series encoders provide the only 96kHz multi-channel audio solution for video...

I respectfully disagree with you on this point. Cables can and do sound differently (at least poorly designed ones). The sonic differences in cables are attributed to differences in RLC metrics and shielding techniques. Many exotic cables have either high inductance or capacitance which can...

You're right, I miss quoted him. I will fix it. Thanks. (Back to School)

Three departed comedians that left an open wound with me are: 1) Phil Hartman 2) John Candy 3) Rodney Dangerfield 4) Ted Knight Ok thats four. Sucks :(

I know this is not audio related, but I felt it appropriate to pay our respect to this comedy legend. Rodney was one of the hand-full of comedians that literally had me rolling on the floor in tears of laughter with witty one-liners in classics such as: Easy Money, Caddyshack, Back to School...

Actually this was just a First Look Article. We will be doing detailed reviews of the EP500 and EP600's when our samples arrive. Stay tuned...

When Axiom invited us out to their facility to show us their latest subwoofers, I knew it must be big news. Knowing Audioholics’ reputation of testing manufacturers’ claims (especially regarding cables) the folks at Axiom must have been pretty confident with their new designs. Axiom...
