    Cable Con?

    I do believe speaker cables do make a difference. Indeed I have exploited this fact when I use Bi Wiring. Passively tuning the sound with careful selection of cable for top and bottom. I have been doing this since the mid/late 80's with good results. Now I know that there are a few people who...

    The Great Cable Debate

    If its speaker length, then this person is one of the naysayers who work from text books. I believe he is refering to the DC resistance of the cable which varies with length. The fact the DC resistance is very low in the first place seems to have eluded is reasoning process. Signals that are...

    The Great Cable Debate

    I am not sure what this person "claims" actually makes sense? Mr Townshend was doing test on loadspeakers cables and with a tone generator. If "and I say a big IF" this extra long mains cable had any bearing on the oscilloscope display, this would be constant between all the cables being used...

    The Great Cable Debate

    I use Townshend Isolda and have found a "Big difference" with it. Look at the the following youtube video. As a physicist you will appreciate the methodology behind it. The video is particularly good as it proves a point without being subjective. Max could have done the expriment better and...

    I just watched a short star trek film on the internet.Its an independent low budjet affair with a number of Star trek stars: Nichelle Nichols:Uhuru (TOS) Walter Koenig:Chekov (TOS) Grace Lee Whitney:Janice Rand (TOS) Alan Ruck:Captain John Harriman (Film Star trek Generations) Chase...

    Am I the only one who was dissapointed by the new Star Trek film?

    I thought Chekovs accent was more annoying. In the Voyage Home (Star trek IV - the one with the whales) Walter Koenig's "V"/ "W" mis-pronunciation in "Nuclear Wessels" had a humorous edge to it. Anton Yelchin over exaggerated "V"/ "W" just grated. I could live with Simon Peggs character more...

    Am I the only one who was dissapointed by the new Star Trek film?

    As a prequel, it doesn't/can't work as it completely changes the timeline.Wiping out the second most important Federation race - how can the TOS episode "Spoke Amoke" work for instance, Tuvok (Voyager) now doesn't exist etc.. It also suffered the same problem that Enterprise had in that the...

    Am I the only one who was dissapointed by the new Star Trek film?

    Like all Star Trek fans I was looking forward to the new film. However I rapidly became aware that the films was redefining all/most of the parameters that made the TOS/TNG great. The reason being that the film makers wanted to make star trek more relevant to todays younger generations. Star...

    Speaker cable mini review/thought

    fr0g:I bought 2x3m pair of NVA LS3 cable from the ebay shop. £90+7 delivery. 14 day money back... Well. Had a day to myself (a very rare thing these days) And I was swapping backwards and forwards between the LS3 and the cheapy Van Damme... I have come to a number of conclusions...(based on...

    Secondhand Hi-Fi

    the record spot:There's been a lot of references to used hifi when shopping around for new kit (okay, quite a few have been mine!), but what have people picked up in their travels on the road to hifi nirvana? Any gems you wouldn't part with, or some you couldn't wait to get rid of?! An Aiwa...

    Which CD brings out the best in your system?

    Blueorb: Here is a question. We are all somewhat obsessed with building that perfect system, looking for the holy grail of sound quality, however, a sytem can only ever reproduce what is on the CD (Or record). Often I am disappointed with the quality of some recordings, even many new releases...
