<font color='#000000'>Zumbo; You will find out this weekend with a BIG post I am making. &nbsp; It sadden us to replace the Axiom Audio gear in his reference system, but we wanted to all have similar style reference equipment to be on equal footings when doing subjective portions of our...

<font color='#000000'>No distortion differences.  Buywiring, I mean biwiring, only real advantage, if you call it that, is lowering the DC resistance of the cabling between the amp and speakers.  However, some biwire cables that integrate both sets in a single sleeving, have extremely high pair...

<font color='#000000'>Hi Pat; I am trying to get to it, but finishing up a 16 page review of the new RBH T System, among other things.  We have been getting flooded with product review requests from manufacturers since CES and there appears to be no end!  I think we need more writers ;) In the...

<font color='#000000'>AV-phile; Actually Acurus is no more. &nbsp;Klipsch bought out Aragon and Acurus and discontinued the Acurus name but apparantly rebranded many of the former Acurus amps in their lower line Aragon stuff. &nbsp;As for Nad and Acurus being sister companies, I don't believe...

<font color='#000000'>Rip; Read my review of the Sherbourn PT-7000. &nbsp;Aside from cosmetics it is virtually idential but at a lower cost. http://www.audioholics.com/product....00.html Also see how it faired against every other receiver/processor we reviewed in 2003...

<font color='#000000'>OK, I had many requests to verify operational things on the Yamaha RX-V2400 and thus I hooked my review sample back up to one of my systems to help out. 1) Please review our updated FAQ regarding 9.1 channel support, or lack thereof. &nbsp...

<font color='#000000'>Um Rip, are you sure you have the right website? &nbsp;Almost all of our reviews discuss usability, and even provide set-up tips for the products in question. &nbsp;We do our best to make measurements based on the test equipment at our disposal. &nbsp;In fact with cables...

<font color='#000000'>Audibility of different cables depends on how the particular cable metrics impact the equipment being interfaced, and the sensitivity of the listeners hearing. &nbsp; For example, high capacitance cables can cause one of two things: 1) Frequency peaking (can cause...

<font color='#000000'>This wire is included in part II. &nbsp;Incidentally it is the highest capacitance cable I have ever measured. &nbsp;Stay tuned...</font>

<font color='#000000'>Thats a great link, however the author doesn't account for complex load impedances of some speakers that may dip down to 4 ohms or less at high frequencies. &nbsp;This is why I recommend no thinner than 12AWG wire for speaker runs when high fidelity playback is concerned...

<font color='#000000'>Juan; We have been so swamped lately with CES and product reviews, etc. &nbsp;I am shooting to publish the review by end of February, first week in March. &nbsp;There now I am committed &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Use great care when biamping your speakers and using different amplifier types to ensure the levels are matched properly, especially if their gain structures are different. &nbsp;It is usually advised to use identical amplifiers when biamping, or at least ones with...

<font color='#000000'>Paul; Try setting the player to 0IRE in the &quot;Pic Adjust&quot; menu. &nbsp;The manual doesn't document this well. &nbsp;I am interested to hear your findings.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Bicho; These are kinda difficult companies to contact sometimes but we will try. &nbsp;I can tell you we are gearing up to do more video related reviews in the near future so stay tuned....</font>

<font color='#000000'>EdR; As Dan so eloquently puts, the advantage to terminating your cables is convenience. &nbsp;12AWG wire is fine, and you could certainly bi-wire your fronts to reduce DCR if you like. &nbsp; In my application where I am continually switching out loudspeakers for review...

<font color='#000000'>My theory is this, when making a recording, the artist may choose tube mics/amps because they like the distortion profile that colors the voice/guitar sound. Great no problem there. &nbsp;I also like how a tube amp distorts guitar. However, the playback of the recording...

<font color='#000000'>I will let the measurements speak for themselves Speaker Cable Face Off I Personally I would use their 10AWG wire which costs a little more, but has lower resistance and inductance but of course I am an Audioholic and overkill is not in my vocabulary &nbsp;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Rives Audio has contributed another article to Audioholics regarding room acoustics, the often forgotten, yet critical component in ones audio system. &nbsp; This article serves as an introductory of what will expand upon all facets of room acoustics and how the every day...
