I'm thinking of building a power cable for my receiver out of this stuff. Any advice? This will probably end up quite expensive, so I'd like to get it right first time. :D

OK, here's what I want from a PCI soundcard: * Optical or coaxial S/PDIF output * True 44.1kHz without sample rate conversion * DTS and DD passthrough I've read lots of other threads here, but nothing seems to answer this directly. I've seen the Abit UA-11 USB device which looks...

What happens to the effective T/S parameters of a pair of identical drivers in a single enclosure? I'm not talking isobaric alignment, where the Vas is halved. I'd guess the Vas of the pair is double the Vas of a single driver, but can anyone confirm? And for the more general line array case...

I'm looking to integrate my PC into my AV system, and use it as a CD jukebox. I plan to rip all my CDs using a lossless compressor like Monkey's Audio or LPAC to maintain maximum quality, and use a soundcard's SPDIF output to feed my receiver. As this will be purely digital and I'm not (at...

I'm planning a small-ish electronically-assisted sealed sub for my small HT setup. Priorities are: * High-quality response down to 20Hz * Compact size (10" or 12" driver max) * Low cost * Very high WAF I am not interested in high SPLs, and will be driving it from a BK Electronics...

Those variable phase controls on some subwoofers - are they actually just a delay stage? I can see how the phase of a single note can be varied whilst retaining the information, but changing the phase of a complex, asymmetric music signal doesn't seem possible to my limited brainpower. The...

I have a Marantz SR4200 and am very impressed with it, as my first excursion into the home cinema experience. Lovely sound, acceptable looks, good features. However, the unit itself suffers from a very slight transformer hum, which is really only audible with the unit powered up with no input...

I'm considering a sub project at the moment. I don't yet want to get bogged down in a detailed discussion of what I'm trying to do until I know it's feasible - but I will need to tune a relatively small box (1.3 cu ft) to a very low frequency (22Hz). For a 3" diameter port, the port length...

I've just taken my first tentative steps into home cinema with the purchase of a Marantz SR4200 amp - very impressed. :D My main speakers are old Wharfedale Diamond 4s, and until I get around to building a dedicated subwoofer, I'm using the aux in of my Clavinova which works surprisingly well...
