    True Unbiased Evaluation for AH

    In order to achieve true independence why not purchase AV gear anonymously for evaluation and then sell review subjects to readers for a discount? It's not a new idea, but rarely ever done (think Consumer's Union). That way you can say whatever you want and readers can buy awesome gear cheap...

    RBH Testing at AH - Response to Matt34

    No Option Up North I'm sure they do, but RBH is unavailable up here in the Great White North. Anyone have knowledge of a retailer in the Golden Horseshoe?

    RBH Testing at AH - Response to Matt34

    Controversey? Appropriate Thread Wow, I didn't think it was that big a deal, just an observation. I'm a little confused, isn't a forum a place to express opinion and hold open discussion? I didn't drag anyone through the mud, use foul language, display any hostility but was shut down. I...

    RBH Testing at AH - Response to Matt34

    Might want to do a little research before prematurely ending (that's what she said!) the thread. If you had taken the time to look at floorstanding reviews (not just bookshelf's), 7 out of 23 are RBH. That's 30% or almost 1/3 of all Pro Review articles in case you don't have a calculator...

    god forbid any semblance of AH critism!

    Why was my post taken down asking AH to test speakers other than RBH and EMP? I think it's a pretty fair question considering the bias in gear tested as of late. All I said was something like "We get it, you like RBH (and EMP), let's move on for some perspective". Seems I was struck down by...

    Energy Speakers - Made in China now?

    It doesn't matter where car keys are made, if you let your kids eat them it's probably dangerous. :D

    Energy Speakers - Made in China now?

    Damn those free online translators! I didn't think to input loudspeaker. That's an odd term...loudspeaker. As opposed to quietspeaker? Isn't the point of a speaker to boost the input signal, hence be loud...

    Energy Speakers - Made in China now?

    No Energy 发言人 For Me Where product is made is very relevant. Ignorance is bliss if you don't mind paying a premium for German precision made in Mexico or designer labels made beside the Zellers brand. Aside from ethical and moral implications of supporting culture that doesn't value human...

    In Wall/On Wall Speakers

    Let's face it, the future is speakers without big boxes to go with displays without big boxes. Better speaker manufacturers with actual R&D budgets should be able to design an in wall or on wall to sound just as good as a traditional box. I realized this when I inquired with some speaker...

    iPod Touch 16G $259

    Anybody buy from Electronics4Less? http://www.electroforless.com/index.php?target=products&product_id=554 A 16G iPod Touch for $259 seems too good to be true when the next best price is Amazon at $389? What am I missing? :confused:

    Canadian Forum?

    I guess it depends where you live in Canada. I'm 45 minutes from either the Rainbow or Queenston bridge, so with our dollar at par or higher than US, it's pretty easy to just go for a Sunday drive and buy whatever you want if you can't find it at home. That said, I think Canadian...

    Calling BS on Snake Oil Cables

    Couldn't agree more It's a sad reality that AV interest has turned into a pissing contest. Since I was unable to compete monetarily (someone always has something more expensive, but not necessarily better), "better" became an unhealthy obsession for me at the beginning as well. In fact, it...

    Calling BS on Snake Oil Cables

    Single As a married man for 5 years, I don't understand how one justifies that purchase to their spouse. The last thing I'd feel is the cable around my neck and a hand reaching out of the white light smacking me for being stupid, then sending me back to face an eternity of spousal torture...

    Calling BS on Snake Oil Cables

    Naive Yes, you are naive if you think cables are not the most important component of your system and you should allocate 95% of your budget for cables. Also, people that can't hear the difference are naive. Funny how audiophiles who sing this mantra vehemently avoid partaking in a double...

    Calling BS on Snake Oil Cables

    Squirrels and Hale-bopp Squirrels...millions of atomic squirrels running on colour wheels, which are injected with a needle into the magic box at the factory. I read a review of ANJOU speaker cables by Marshall Applewhite on an esoteric website called Heaven's Gate. He said "Music playing...

    Some of my audio/HT setups.

    Looks like CES! Better equipped than most Hi-Fi stores! Does you're AV shop have a trade up policy? I'm curious what percentage of your purchase price they give you toward new gear?
