John: Your your latest comments are almost identical to my EE friend's. As you correctly point out, when soldering is used, a professional, quality job is important. Thanks for the clarification. I think we've beaten the you know what out of this topic.:)

First I would point out that term tarnish as it relates to silver is an unscientific name for oxidation and is also an appropriate layman's term for oxidation of copper. However, silver, especially when moisture is present, oxidizes much quicker than copper and although it is a better conductor...

After taking in all of the good advice given here I consulted a friend who is an electrical engineer, in the commercial electronics area. It turns out he is very familiar with audio issues. To summarize, he took over 30 minutes to explain everything and I won't go into all the details here...

I am under the impression that banana plugs are the best way to attach speaker wire to the receiver. The salesman at the store said they normally do not use them because the connection from the wire to the plug is an additional potential problem. They prefer to go right into the screw cap on the...

As I am on a budget, and not an audiophile, I am looking at 3 K-7 and 2 K-5 plus an SVS 20-39PCi subwoofer. I'm sure the speakers you are looking at are even better, but I can't tell the difference.

Before mentioning my experience I must say I know absolutely nothing about speakers. Everything I have learned came from this forum over the last few weeks. I'm doing a home theater and had a million stupid questions because of my total lack of knowledge. Because of this forum I became...

We are going to do a whole new system. Although we are totally clueless about the audio, (we don't listen to music serially) we do what a good HT experience. I have done a lot of homework on HTF and elsewhere. Our use will be primarily movies and TV. Although we might listen to music it would be...
