Jinjuku, thanks for the reply. A sound test may be just what is needed in the end. I'm not against spending a bit more dough on a cable if it would make a noticeable difference though.

BoredGuy, Is it your intent to sound condescending? I read the link. Perhaps, I missed something? The only thing that was mentioned was speaker wire. I asked the original question because I am not sure if the characteristics of speaker wire are applicable when discussing a USB data...

I'm aware, but nowhere near an expert, of speaker wire quality. My knowledge is still has room to grow! :). Maybe I should have rephrased or added a little more in my original post...so I will add the following: Do the same standards hold true for a USB cable (from computer to DAC) as for...

I was previously talked into an AudioQuest carbon cable. Although the material and sound were great, the durability of the plastic connectors is lacking (as confirmed by myself and others' reviews). I need another cable and have read conflicting opinions and facts on whether or not an...

I was able to audition a couple sets of speakers yesterday and really liked the Motion 10's. I listened to a pair of ERA's (D5's) alongside of the MartinLogans. I liked the ERA's also, but I felt like the imaging of the MartinLogans was a bit better. I'd love to hear comments from anyone...

yeah, let me know!

Here are the less expensive options I'm looking to possibly pair a sub with: Ascend Accoustics: Sierra-1's Usher: S-520's Boston Acoustics: VS-240's

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm not stuck on the Peachtree or just an integrated (stereo) amp for that matter. I'm still trying to decide, and my research was thrown off a bit with this new information when I walked into an audio store. The guy was very helpful and knowledgable. In a...

I'm not too interested in surround sound, so I was thinking of going with a couple floor standers or a 2.1. I was going to go with your standard A/V device, but just got my mind blown with this: Peachtree Audio/Nova. I listened to Nova with the ERA speakers below and they sounded phenomenal...

I really appreciate the time you guys are taking to help me with my decision. I have some more info. as well as a question to help me clear up some things in my head. The dimensions of my room were a guestimate (kind of). I actually have one wall angled, and one wall is half open to another...

Thanks for your help! VGA it is. Oh, one more thing... Really? No need to get smart. If you look at the time your post and my previous post were entered you would see that we were replying at the same time. It would be hard for me to "read carefully" a post that had not been entered...

it's a laptop. I'd like to just work with what I've got as far as ports go.

Thanks for the recommendations. Accessorries4less offers some great warranties at an affordable price. I'm gathering from your the previous receiver recommendations that I'm gonna need a little more power in a receiver to produce the sound I'm looking for in the size room I've got...

My choices for output on my PC are S-Video and the 15pin VGA. My LCD has a 15pin input, but no S-video (of course). What should I do to get the best resolution without a converter box? I believe a couple options are to go from S-video out into RCA (red, white, and yellow), or can I do...

I've still got some basic questions about speaker/amp relationships and some brand/model recommendations. I've read through all the Loudspeaker and Power Ratings: What's the Deal? articles, multiple forum posts, and plenty more. Any help I can get in clearing things up would be greatly...

Maybe I'm wording my questions wrong...how about this: If I was originally going to get a speaker rated to 200w at 8ohms, and was going to power it with a receiver giving a solid 120w/ch, could I then assume that the same receiver could do the same job for a 400w speaker at 4ohms since the...

Can you give me an idea of what numbers to look for. If you give me an example of what you're talking about, I'll have some sort of bench mark to go from. thanks again for the help

Thanks for the reply. So, what should I look for then to make sure my reciever will have enough "juice" for my speakers?

Will the speaker sound be compromised, or is it even possible to hook-up a 4 ohm speaker to a receiver output of 8 ohms? and Is it possible to send 4 ohms to front speakers and 8 ohms to the sub and/or surrounds with a normal AV Receiver? Thanks

I appreciate the advice thanks
