    Yamaha vs. Outlaw receivers, anyone ?

    <font color='#000000'>3dB; Sorry but I don't recall your post. &nbsp;However, when comparing SNR make sure its an apples to apples comparison. &nbsp;Many amp companies rate their SNR @ full power to give the illusion of better SNR. &nbsp;I am not saying the Outlaw is a bad or noisey unit, but...

    component video cables & audio cables

    <font color='#000000'>Socks; Stupid question, do you use the same color coding from the DVD player to your TV when connecting? &nbsp;Also, do your cables have a ferrite slapped on one end? &nbsp;If so, make sure that end is placed at the source side. Give me more particulars of your set-up...

    Speaker covers: On or off?

    <font color='#000000'>Hey I like this thread, nice pics guys! Just a few comments, what do you do when a speaker has no grill covers such as my babies &nbsp; Seriously though, I have found many speakers sound better without the grills. &nbsp;Upon speaking to a few designers, they told me...

    component video cables & audio cables

    <font color='#000000'>John; Both cables you purchased are a good value. &nbsp;The AR's in particular have better cosmetics, more shielding, and better terminations. &nbsp;The price you paid is very reasonable.</font>

    audioholic cable buying guide

    <font color='#000000'>Joe; I need to see an example to know exactly how the cable is configured. &nbsp;If the vendor lists the pair to pair capacitance of the twisted pair separately from the capacitance of the shield to return conductor, I would probably add the two since they would...

    Is this good deal on spkr wire?

    <font color='#000000'>That is a good deal and will likely suite your needs fine. &nbsp;If you plan on doing long runs to the rears (&gt;20ft) however, I would recommend 10 or 12 AWG to reduce resistive losses.</font>

    Top Ten Signs of Cable Vendor Snake Oil

    <font color='#000000'>Greenroom; I don't follow most of your logic. &nbsp;You claim when putting together a very high end system you need mathing high end cables. &nbsp;Usually high end gear (if designed well) is better able to cope with poor cables (IE. High capacitive, poor shielding) since...

    <font color='#000000'>Steve; Well I do have access to a Wayne Kerr Magnetics analyzer, but what good is it without the cable sample to test   Calculating cable capacitance can get a bit tricky, especially when dealing with different cable geometries than conventional twin feeder Zip Cord.  ...

    Top Ten Signs of Cable Vendor Snake Oil

    <font color='#000000'>Hi Steve; Reasons for comment on Zobel: 1) I was being facetious 2) Their employeed cable geometry does give rise to higher than zip cord capacitance. If they added a foil shield around the cable, that would raise it further. &nbsp;Not sure of their capacitance/ft, but if...

    Bass crossover of Yamaha receiver

    <font color='#000000'>Abe; Dynaudio makes phenominal speakers with excellent bass extension, but they are still a bookshelf. &nbsp;My advice to you since you seem to be powering them with a receiver is to set them small and cross over the sub at around 60-80Hz. &nbsp;Set the bass out to sub and...
