1) What are your home theater system components, including manufacturers and finishes / colors? At the moment, nothing. I have a Panasonic LCD to which an Xbox 360 is connected. Everything else is mothballed (and was 2-channel only). 2) What would you change in your home theater system...

Listen in stereo at the moment due to necessity, not choice...more than willing to go 5.1! :D Or 7.1, room permitting.

Hmm...weird...try this: http://www.affordableaudio.org/ You'll need to select the September issue on the left menu.

The newest issue of Affordable Audio reprints some measurements taken before/after the use of an aftermarket power cord...I'd be curious to hear what people have to say about it (for the record, I'm not sold one way or the other). http://www.affordableaudio.org/ (Choose September issue on...

Thanks for the tip...I was not aware of that!

Have you written them directly and asked? The specs sure look similar, at any rate.

Sorry to bump an older thread but it was informative so...what the heck. :D Solid-State...any updates in your work with the 1313A (or otherwise)?

Do you remember the site? I've got the curiosity bug and it won't go away. ;)

Agreed! :cool: Anyone else?

I'm a huge fan of Polk speakers...especially any of the older models. They don't get a fair shake in the 'audiophile' crowd for whatever reason (probably too affordable) but with very few exceptions you can keep upgrading your sources and the speakers will sound better and better. If you like...

Glad you liked BJC...I've found my experiences with them mirror yours (that is, great customer service to someone who wasn't yet a customer). The only other 'fancy' cables that I would ever consider in their place are Avic and Cobalt, but I don't think any SQ difference would be appreciable...

Oh I agree, I don't want to see anyone get ripped off either...but I guess it depends on what someone considers a good value. I mean, if some housewife is solely concerned with size/style, it doesn't matter how much better the Axiom or whatever stuff would be, as it doesn't meet her primary...

Yea...its no secret they don't perform well, but I don't really understand why people get all up in arms over Bose either...just don't buy them if you don't like them. They exist for a reason, its a totally different market/customer mindset...like comparing a minivan to a Mustang. A friend of...

Before I get into it, this website has helped me more in 6 months time than the previous decade of 'general survey' ever could. So thanks for that! :cool: One thing I'm curious about, though, is all the TrekTech MIT has on their website (http://www.mitcables.com/technology.asp)...already...

Try AVA...? Although I don't own them yet (damn my poor salary!! :mad: ), the latest offerings from Van Alstine (http://www.avahifi.com) have impressed me immensely. Incredibly clear power for days, with no BS. They sell direct so no dealer markups either. With a 30 day return policy you can't...

Cool, thanks again for the info! :D

Right with you on that, guess I could've worded it a little better. I've seen some interconnects with low capacitance, but is that the be-all-end-all? Does inductance even factor into it? As mtrycrafts pointed out (thanks!), getting lower inductance on speaker cable at the expense of much higher...

Not interested in yet another pointless debate, but I was wondering if those in the know (Gene, et al) have any rough 'ceilings' when concerning inductance, capacitance, resistance in speaker cables...I know inductance is most important, but is a difference of say .16uH/ft vs. 13uH/ft worth it...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just came across it...anyway, I see we are neighbors (I live outside Philly) and I would possibly be interested in the JBL's if you are looking to unload them. Getting them back into shape seems like a good project, plus I've always wanted a pair. PM me if...

Thanks for posting the link, I needed a laugh! :D
