    <font color='#000000'>Hi John; What's there to look for? &nbsp;If one claims the &quot;transient&quot; response of Cable A is better than Cable B, then a simple 1/10kHz square wave (which has infinitely larger rise/fall times then music) would reveal this difference. Also, if one claims an...

    Cryo

    <font color='#000000'>Audioeng; Interesting feedback, however without confirmation with measurements, I would be quite skeptical about anyone who claims they can hear a difference. &nbsp;Almost no speaker cable design would suffer ill effects of transient response, and certainly cryo treating a...

    New Sony ES Receivers

    Pioneer Elite VSX 47TX

    <font color='#000000'>LArkston; How do you know the Pioneer receiver is responsible for this? &nbsp;Have you compared it to your existing gear? What type of speakers are you using? &nbsp;How well treated is your room? There are many variables here and I wouldn't rule out other issues first...

    Speaker auditions

    <font color='#000000'>Bruce; I am also not a loudspeaker designer and have not researched this issues in great detail yet. &nbsp;Reversing the polarity of a driver only compensates for phase in a very limited frequency band. &nbsp;I think it is also important to discuss electrical and...

    <font color='#000000'>Cryo-Guy; I would like to see some of these companies test results. &nbsp;I have found through experience with dealing with many of these exotic cable companies that few of them have degreed staffed engineers, and even fewer of them have the proper test equipment to do...

    Speaker auditions

    <font color='#000000'>Bruce; I agree with your assessment of the Def Tech speakers.  I just also wanted to point out that there are alternative methods of achieving &quot;time alignment&quot; loudspeakers with higher than 1st order crossovers.  Bud Fried used to champion degenerative 2nd order...

    Yamaha or Outlaw

    <font color='#000000'>Bruce; I don't think its fair to compare new receivers with used separates. &nbsp;We are speaking strictly retail. &nbsp;Buying used is a great idea for money savings, but some people prefer the &quot;new&quot; appeal and the warranty that goes along with it. The true...

    <font color='#000000'>Actually Bruce, I am going to have to disagree with you here. &nbsp;The separates vs Receiver choice has become much more cloudy today then just a few years ago. &nbsp;Flagship Receiver products from Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer Elite, etc usually offer far more sophisticated...
