    The Sign of a Robust AV Website

    No I am trying to move Clint away from that role so he can focus more on content and further developing more services for Audioholics. We have the Plone developer and a Nasa consultant (no joke) managing the site for us now in addition to having all of our servers hosted on dedicated managed...

    Paradigms or Axiom

    These are two entirely different animals and it really depends on your listening preferences and speaker location choice. The Paradigms are direct radiators and suited better for music purposes while the Axioms are a dedicated surround speaker meant to provide more spatial presence. If...

    The Sign of a Robust AV Website

    You have no idea. Clint is only referring to the forums and ad system. We have 3 dedicated servers with dual processors and 2Gig RAM/each running the actual site. :eek: The monthly expenses keep piling on my credit card :( so please send in your donations today. LOL :)

    Top 10 Guitar Players all genres

    Agreed. IMO its so called musicians like Kenny G that are responsible for the death of fusion jazz and transformation into the jazziac we are exposed to today on "Smooth Jazz" radio stations. Thankfully there are a handful of Jazz musicians left that don't succumb to this and still have...

    Top 10 Guitar Players all genres

    I've seen him live 5 times so far and he never dissapoints. In fact, with his new drummer Antonio Sanchez, I feel his music is the stronger than ever. Some day if I ever have the honor of interviewing Pat, I will ask him what he really thinks about Kenny G, b/c I don't thinks his response...

    Rather than assuming this box set has every album from the era specified, can you please list the albums you actually received? Are they all SACD 5.1? Thanks.

    You can do that now with the multi channel PCM signal via HDMI to the receiver as I did in my Yamaha RX-V2700 review.

    Bi-wiring Part 2: The Cable Conundrum

    It's a bogus argument since the amplifier itself has to deal with the back EMF of the drivers anyways. Thus one of many reasons why amplifiers employ feedback. Jim's analysis is right on and aside from a slight change of cable impedance, biwiring makes little to no difference. Star Trek...

    Why I'm Never Going into a Video Rental Store Again... well... maybe

    I tried Netflix for a few months but got sick of getting broken or scratched discs in the mail. I also rarely rent DVD's so it was costing me nearly $20/mo for 2-3 DVD's/month I didn't watch either b/c of lack of time or because they showed up broken. Personally I buy appealing movies on...

    Slappa d2i Hardbody CD Storage Review

    Such a good idea for a caveman. Too bad I didn't think of that as my last CD case damaged 1/4 of my CD collection from being exposed to the florida heat in my car for long durations of time. :confused:

    MagnaLev ML5 Isolator Electromagnetic AV Rack

    Using Biot Savart Law ( Db = Uo*IdLx*Ir) / (4*pi*r^2) where L and I are vectors, you can calculate the relationship between the magnetic field contribution and its source current. What I am curious about is how they overcame Young’s Modulus during intermittent field density gradients during...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Headphone Review

    Chris, obviously if I had the resources available, an ideal measurement could be made. That isn't the point. My measurement demonstrates the driver is linear and at least meets the spec of the manufacturer. I plan on using a standardized measurement going forward (such as the styrofoam cup...
