    What are your favorite brands of cables?

    <font color='#000000'>Wow, quite expensive speaker cables, I couldn't imagine spending over $1000 for speaker wire! Based on the physical distance between (+) and (-) conductors of the Purenote speaker cables, I suspect inductance is higher than ordinary 12AWG Zip Cord. &nbsp; Pure Note Speaker...

    I need a good high power 2 channel

    <font color='#000000'>I am not sure why you think you need 300wpc into 4ohms.  Most high end multichannel amps don't even deliver that much power! If I remember correctly, DCM speakers are high efficient designs and shouldn't require that much power to get loud SPL levels in moderately large...

    <font color='#000000'>Richard; Just a few suggestions, perhaps you should tell others what you plan on using for mains, rears, sub, and electronics, also room size and listening preferences. IMO it is imperative to voice match front and center speakers for a more seemless blend of the front...

    audio CD sound quality

    <font color='#000000'>Most of the audible differences between CD/DVD players playing back Redbook CD become moot if you use the digital outputs and let your high end Receiver/Pre/Pro do the D/A conversion.  If you don't plan on using the analog outputs of your CD/DVD player, then it shouldn't be...

    My DIY Project & a Forgotten LINK

    <font color='#000000'>Jon; Zobels are effective at making high inductive loads look resistive. &nbsp;Lets say for example you have a tweeter that impedance increases without bounds with frequency, this is where a zobel will help reduce this problem. &nbsp;As far as I know, the most effective...

    Zip Cord VS Cross Connected Coax Article

    <font color='#000000'>John; My excuse is pure carelessness.  I should have known better than to use 1ft of cable in my measurement, and Jon is 100% correct that using 10ft/10 will reduce error. In my up and coming cable faceoff article, I will be using 8ft lengths for all of my measurements...

    Zip Cord VS Cross Connected Coax Article

    <font color='#000000'>It appears we have all been hit with the “error bug”. Jon – overstated attenuation and inductance figures for 12AWG Zip and understated attenuation figures for Cross Coax. John – set-up errors of LCR meters yielding too high inductance measurements. Me – Using too short...
