  1. BY THE WAY......................HERE'S A SHOCKER FOR YOU......................... even changing the FUSES inside your amps, cd player and the 3-pin plug of the ac cords makes a CLEAR difference..............
  2. brudder..................i know biamping and biwiring very well, trust me ! # biamping requires at least 2 power amps, can use up to 4 amps...................there's also tri-amping and quad-amping........... # biwiring only from 1 stereo power amp or 2 monoblocs............. ### in hifi, many many things work like voodoo...............believe or not..................what's important is there's a difference in sound quality. ### years ago, a German electrical engineer was telling me how ALL cables are the same and there's no difference in sound quality......................after i let him listen to my home system (( switching only the AC power cords ))............. he shut the **** up after that..........................
  3. if you biwire your speakers (assuming they're not crap) and you can't hear any difference...............either you're not a good listener or you need to see an ear doctor.................. same thing for the green marker on CDs..................the treble will normally be more delicate and less glaring. whe nyou biwire speakers, the sound will open up with a wider and more open soundstage. ### by the way, TUBE amps are waaaaay ahead of solid-state amps when it comes to midrange and treble............TUBE sounds more ''alive'' and 3-D.................. go hear a Single-Ended-Triode Tube amp.....................the midrange will knock out ANY solid-state amp............ forget those lousy China-made tube amps...................some sound worse than transistor amps.
  4. indeed that's the case ! TV picture did improve....................... i even ''demo'' for a skeptical relative of mine by using a good AC power cord for our steamboat..................it got hotter much faster using the free ac cord !
  5. no problems lah...................but now a lot of brands very very jialat laio compared to the past................... in the late 90's Quad had a brilliant bookshelf speaker model 10L.......................the new 11L or 12L or whatever sounds like CRAP compared to the 10L...............
  6. passive bi-amping is not good..............likewise for horizontal biamping.......................which is what most everyone is thinking.................. if you're a good listener, you'll hear what i mean.................... horizontal biamping will exaggerate the treble and bass...................creating a ''hole'' in the midrange............... that's why you see a lot of super high-end speakers offer only single-wire options unless it's a 4-way design............. if it's a 2-way or 2.5-way design, horizontal biamping makes the sound worse................... far better to just spend the money on good cables to biwire................
  7. i went to their website and their policies like very rigid and not consumer-friendly at all. especially when you must make full payment and no refund. but the furniture price is very low compared to others.
  8. if you people don't believe a good ac power cord can make a big difference, go to those hifi shops and compare and listen.............. not only do a specialty ac cord sound far far better than those free black ones.............................. there are big differences between brands.................... by the way, those that say got no difference or can't hear any difference..................... that means either they know nothing about hifi......................or they need to see a doctor regarding their ears.
  9. Cambridge Soundworks now own by Creative so their speakers cannot buy............... Cambridge Audio has always been a low-end electronics brand.....................if they make speakers, can't be any good................ they're owned by the same guys that own Quad, etc etc.................now all made in China.................. even Quad's box speakers no longer sound good compared to when they were made in England in the 90's...........
  10. you mean to tell me you don't know the AC power cord REALLY is the MOST important cable in the system ???!!! brudder, go and listen..................even different brands sounds totally different................ a good power cord can save a mediocre system...................... IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE THAT AC POWER CORDS MAKE A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE..................... THEN YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIFI.......................
  11. Cambridge Audio that's owned by Creative ? unless they're super duper cheap...............forget it !
  12. brudder................when you bi-amp ''horizontally'', most likely you'll just exaggerate the bass and treble, creating a ''hole'' in the midrange. just put the money into better american cables.
  13. for the best satellite system, just buy Cabasse...............they're the best, bar none !
  14. drink apple cider vinegar with water throughout the day if possible.............. buy a dermal-grade microfiber cloth to exfoliate............ take vitamin B5............... take probiotics.................
  15. these Caucasians are always trying to rip-off asians.............. when will we ever learn ? 1st stage of the bubble start in their home countries then to sustain 2nd or 3rd stages of the bubble, they try to sucker in asians !
  16. brudder.......................so from $99 monthly = $1188 for a year............... you drop to $99 one-off payment ???..................over 90% off ????!!!
  17. when it comes to cable, the AC power cord is the most important one ! you get the AC power cord right, you're about there !
  18. so how 's the stuff from wihardja ? the prices seems to be okay. but how's the service like ? are they a reasonable company to deal with ?
  19. HOW PEOPLE CAN STILL FALL FOR THE ''WHAT HIFI?'' CRAP IS THE LAST THING I CAN UNDERSTAND................. or could it be true about what they say about ''a sucker is born everyday'' ?
  20. you can wait a bit, just plan on the conduits for the rear cables. if you want totally worry-free cables that won't oxidize and turn black after many many years - buy Nordost but quite expensive though compared to those cheapo ones.
  21. get speakers that are better for music unless you're a movie freak. for satellites, get Cabasse - you'll find no better brand!
  22. think about your surround cables now and mountings for the rear speakers. get high-purity copper cables (get 9N copper) for the rear speakers - don't stinge on them since once they're in the false ceiling, they're staying put and it's a nightmare to change them!
  23. so you're more into movies, 1st thing 1st - never believe in all those British hifi magazines, they give good reviews base on how much they get in advertising money ! ### i know for a fact that some of the reviews were not even written by the reviewers but by the manufacturers themselves ! the editors merely edit these reviews.
  24. those China tube amps if buy for below 1,000 still okay but if spend more than 1,000 i think there are some British or Japanese brands available. China tube amps sound far too mushy and lack definition, os buy cheap cheap still okay.
  25. not too sure who's the agent now so got to go to Cabasse's website to find local agent, they're the best satellites around but not sure if they have same price range as morel.
