Tom; Great article! I linked up GLOB so people could reference in case they missed it last year. Also, I found a great use for exotic silver speaker cables that you failed to realize in your article. Last weekend I was moving a 51" RPTV and didn't have rope to tie it up to the UHaul...

Good luck to you and all who will be affected by this hurricane. Unfortunately this may not be the last CAT 5 hurricane we will be facing. These type of hurricanes will likely be more commonplace in the future as ocean temps rise due to global warming.

no it wont downconvert HDMI to S-Video.

PRICE DROP to $250 + Shipping if purchased before the end of this week. Once I pack them away for the move they will no longer be for sale. Help me save storage space. BUY THESE PANELS NOW :)

Actually that receiver runs warm normally. But in large rooms with moderate efficient, low impedance speakers, a separate amp, at least for the front 3 channels is probably a good way to go. We recommend the Yammie RX-V1600/2600 and Emotiva MPS-1 7CH amp. This is a killer combo!

Actually most decent power cables are 14/4 so that winds up being 11AWG equivalent which gets you close to the full power rating of a 120V/15A wall outlet. And when do you run an amp at full power continuously? If you did, and assuming you didn't blow out all of your speakers, trip a circuit...

That actually wasn't the best advice if applied to systems costing high $$$$. Beyond a certain price point, it doesn't make sense to spend those proportions on cables. For example, a decent interconnect really shouldn't cost more than $40/pair for a 2 meter length, speaker cable $2-3/ft...

14AWAG Stock Power Cable should be good enough. As for the connector, I don't buy it. It sounds like you were convinced of the cord by the manufacturer long before it ever showed up at your home. This is common with exotic cables. The power of suggestion is planted long before the cable...

If you mean the cheap patch cord that comes with the electronics, then NO. I use cables that meet our minimal Cable Budget Guidelines . It doesn't take much to meet the basics, but most patch cord just doesn't cut it, especially for video. I also look for quality terminations that make...

I have 10 2' x 4' Echobuster Sound Panels for sale. They are in great shape and I need to sell them before I move at the end of the month. They retail for $240/ea x 10 = $2400. I will take $500 + shipping for all 10 panels. If interested, email me at: gds@audioholics.com SOLD

Clint's sound room is done by RPG and Rives Audio. Ray Adkins, Mark Sanfilipo, Ken Stein and Tom Andry use their own DIY treatments. I am in transition since I am building a new test facility but will definately have Rives, RPG and Auralex involved since this will be our premier system and...

It still amazes me the amount of hurtles audiophiles go through to rationalize that they think they can hear a difference in cables, especially power cables. They ignore science, logic and common sense, and turn to blind faith instead. What is even more amazing is that they usually ignore...

I'm a bit skeptical on the Red Cross based on what I have heard in the past such as: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/10/29/102634.shtml http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/rc_blinks.html In the end, it may have worked itself out but it took a lot of time. Katrina victims...

Its a good thought but often not the case. As for exotic power cords, I believe this sign says it all ;) From the Transparent Cable Booth at CEDIA

NO. You need HDMI Ver. 1.3. There is no current chipset in production that will support it yet. No first Gen HD Players will pass TrueHD audio. They will downconvert to DD but at 640kbps.

I stopped by the McIntosh booth and heard their line array speakers which sounded like boom and sizzle to me :rolleyes:

Transparent Cable Rings in on CEDIA While perusing the show floor we noted this interesting sign from Transparent Cable booth that read “<I>add $$$ to your installs here</I>” while pointing to their booth. Very interesting indeed and indicative of a company that prides itself on its outstanding...
