Read about how I used my Roland Drum kit, some Impact Acoustics cables and some creative wiring to jerry rig my XBOX 360 to my Sennheiser Headphones to get sound while my theater system is currently being revamped. Acts of a Desperate Gameaholic

Universal Health Care wouldn't be so bad if people were offered tax incentives NOT to use it and you would have to be a US citizen to qualify. The same should happen with public schools. I'd love a tax break on that since I send my kids to private schooling. We are doomed either way whether...

The high instaneous current spec is a scam: See: http://www.audioholics.com/education/amplifier-technology/the-high-instantaneous-current-spec Um there are numerous differences between the Denon and Marantz separates to justify the price differences. The Denon pre/pro for example likely...

Good luck with that. Everytime I move this sucker nobody is around to help me and I had to carry it up a flight of steps :eek:

Here we go again with made up electrical theory that only some desk jockey working on a Govt superconductor can come up with :D Here is the true math of biwiring: http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/bi-wiring-part-2-the-cable-conundrum

That was a carry over from the Marantz review. I fixed it. thx.

Sure its a great idea to go in debt, lose traffic and fire my employees b/c I can't pay their salaries. Then I can dedicate all of my time in attempts to sell B-stock reviewed goods to our readers and various classifieds like Ebay and Audiogon where I can enjoy people trying to embezzle money...

I was gauging the response of my HD600 review to determine if people really wanted to see us review more headphones before I continued on. So far we've gotten some interest but not a huge turnout. But your request revitalizes me to do more of these type of reviews. As for how they compare...

While I am huge fan of Bluejeans cable, the average end user cannot self terminate their own cables and you need expensive crimping tools and know how to do the job right with 1694 and canare connectors.

That is true, plus they have a huge mailing list. But above all of that, their customer service is #1 in the industry. Heck I sound like a fan boy for our competitor :)

We can't do that. As with the Audioholics website, we prefer quality over quantity. In the end, better tech support, extended warranties, free shipping, etc will attract a more loyal purchasing customer base. Look at Crutchfield as example which is mostly a retail estore (without extended...

Always remember the rule of thumb when you combine two identical gauge cables the effective gauge is 3AWG lower than the single cable solution. So in this case 2 pairs of 15AWG wired together yields an effective gauge of 12AWG.

Until I get a second sample, I cannot confirm if the bugs were limited only to a defective sample they initially sent me. I would assume I got a run of bad luck as the unit was essentially non operational. I did find an interesting issue in volume control scaling NOT limited to this pre/pro...

Yes I will likely do this. I really like the amp, it sounds fabulous. I haven't even measured it yet but I suspect it will do very well. They sent a 5308CI to Clint and I will bench test it for him in a few weeks. They didn't offer any resolution about the processor, in fact it was like...

Friends; I am sorry to inform my review of the new Denon Separates will be delay. I found too many operational bugs with my review sample of the Pre/Pro and had to send it back. I am not sure when I will be receiving a replacement but will update when I have the info. In the meantime, I...

Set it to normal. As long as the line doesn't drop below 108Vrms you will be fine. USA Consumer gear is made to work between 108-132Vrms and the H15 will keep you well above 108Vrms if you set it to normal. The analog power input likely has more current capability and low frequency...

Actually as far as I know, none of the Monster power products have UL certification. Some of them say they "meet or are designed to UL" but that's not the same thing. In fact, Monster recommends you disconnect their product during a lightening storm :rolleyes:

1 post to his name. This smells like a troll to me. :rolleyes:

Folks this is what I refer to as the Dumbing Down on Audio: http://www.audioholics.com/news/editorials/the-dumbing-down-of-audio

If you purchased a recent receiver with room correction and noticed you cannot crank the volume up high enough after you've run the correction, read this: http://www.avrant.com/?p=275#more-275 I am keeping this generic right now b/c I don't have all the facts but I suspect I am on to...
