Do really expensive cables make as much difference as acoustic dots ?? :)

Has anyone presented an equation that defines effect of ferrous metals in audio ? I would like to add the frequency units in this formula are MHz

Yes, even the skin effect. No purpose in discussing it without equational backdrop.

It's the topical differences I am referring to. The scale of effect in RF frequencies versus human audible frequencies show a miss-application of theory. In very much the same way, audio characteristic are miss-applied to packet based digital communication.

Is this more usage of electrical theory in Radio frequencies miss-applied to the human hearing spectrum ? Shouldn't any of this be discussed using known equations of electrical theory, namely the ones that include the considered frequency in them ? In my opinion this initiative has been also...

What if someone decides any ferrous metals in the entire system are bad ?? :)

For A, considering the score doesn't omit understanding the charts. I have a 3.4 that I like better than a 4.9. I am ceartain the largest caveat impacting what I will like is the fact I am very happy under 70db. for B We are in the middle of an example where a manufacturer insists they...

Along the same lines with the importance of independent reviews: I have a habit of looking at tonality on spinorama. I become disapointed when I see a ranking and the only test is from the manufacurer. I take it with a grain of salt and don't have confidence in any decision support. Am I...

I have no reason to put weight on a self-test of any product without accompanying outside review. I think when a manufacturer refuses to trust outside independent review it undermines them severely.

Nope, my Father is the apple guy, I am not. Sometimes I think they believe they invented binary. I just love the switch parodies.

I know I have loved my 590's I like their stage presentation more then Klipsch RP-8000f II

I am afraid, as a consumer, my money is developing a severe allergy to bullying companies.

How did you set your system with the 590 as such a tall center ?

No I have one. It's a Sony STR-DH790 with LR JBL studio 590 and SVS ultra center. I did the test on my 2-channel rack because I have never encountered a situation where the correct settings on an AVR didn't allow comprehensive play of all channels despite the media sources designation. In...

I'm confused. Where did I say my 2.0 was the only system I have access to. On the contrary. I ran the same available 5.1 test on BOTH systems.
