    Dr. Howard Johnson Discusses Skin Effect

    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...

    Comic Rodney Dangerfield Dies at Age 82

    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...

    Axiom EP500 & EP600 Subwoofers

    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...

    Unregistered, you summed up what I was trying to say in a few sentences much better that what I did in paragraphs. Do you have access to the guides so we can clear this up? Thanks. In fact a nice summary of the guides would serve as an excellent reference for all.

    The All Channels Driven Amplifier Controversy

    Unfortunately AV_Phile doesn't have all the facts regarding rated power consumption of receivers which is no fault of his. This stuff is a bit tricky and one must realize all of the factors involved including legalities and so forth. If a receivers back panel says 500 watts, but each...

    Cool and Lyrical, Four by Stan Getz

    Stan Getz was a study in contrasts. A man with an unsurpassed talent for melodic beauty and understated musical elegance, he none-the-less fought viciously with his personal demons.

    MIT and Transparent Cable revealed!

    Slapping RLC boxes on cables is never the answer unless the cable is so highly reactive that the amplifier needs zobel termination to bring back stability. Sometime in the future I will do some real world analysis that shows the effects these "magical" RLC boxes can have on amplifiers stabilty...

    The Star Quad cable from River is a different cable than that of the Cobalt Cable I reviewed (standard 10AWG Zip Cord).
