Tell Me That It Isn't True
I recently bi-wired the front speakers in my home theater. Having thought about the physics behind this, I'm pretty sure it doesn't make much of a damn difference. However, some people swear by bi-wiring and I'm one of them. I've eschewed the rational for the first time in my home theater project. To me, the high end is much smoother and open when the speakers are bi-wired. This is almost certainly in my head. It didn't cost me anything to bi-wire the fronts though, and I like the idea if nothing else.
A long time ago I ordered a custom Audioquest component video cable. The back of my television has BNC connectors instead of RCAs, and I don't do adapters. Every time you use an adapter quality suffers. The plugs on this cable are pretty impressive, with a flake paint job that rivals a hundred-grand hot-rod. When I picked it up at the stereo shop we spent five or ten minutes just looking at it.
We're a bunch of dorks down at the stereo shop.
Tomorrow I go to look at the house that my folks are thinking about buying. The last vestiges of Fentondom are slipping away. It should be interesting.
