| Full Range comparison I would look at the Mark Audio paper composite full range drivers (such as the Alpair 12P, which I think is their best driver). They are excellent, sound very natural and have a very flat response. The gold/grey metal Mark Audio are nice too, bu... | |
| Physical Media Rules Home theater! Wow, millercarbon, are you a Synergistic sales rep now? | |
| Seeking help finding the weak link(s) in my system and offering suggestions please. It seems that you are doing a double-run of the Blue Jean 10awg. If you wanted to do something like that with AQ, you could get Rocket 33 no frills for $279:https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AQRO33NF&opt=579|584|592|596Then use... | |
| Seeking help finding the weak link(s) in my system and offering suggestions please. A 15 foot pair of Rocket 44 Premium No Frills at audio advisor is $515.

| Audioquest vs. Others @dustsailor - that's the silver-plated terminations at work that pushes the upper mids/highs more than anything else. | |
| Audioquest vs. Others I am a big fan of certain Audioquest products because they are one of the only manufactures who make pure copper solid-core cabling. Most everyone else (including super expensive items) are typically stranded. The speaker wire is excellent at th... | |
| Seeking help finding the weak link(s) in my system and offering suggestions please. Two components I see that are reducing the overall resolution:Krell Vanguard Integrated. This is an excellent integrated, but the newer Krell amplifiers are very smooth and really smooth over the high frequencies. Blue-Jeans 10AWG White. This is... | |
| Looking for inexpensive preamp Schiit Freya with some really good tubes? Amperex 6sn7 maybe?. The Shuguang Black Treasure 6sn7 are big and require a raiser adapter, but they are warm sounding and very nice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-kQaCdjylchttps://www.youtube.com/wat... | |
| Time to upgrade - need advice - budget $7,500 I agree with david_ten on "latest tech" of DACs. MQA is really not a game changer. It is just a way to encrypt standard hi-res audio (such as 24/96) so that it can be streamed over the internet. It doesn't mean it's going to sound better. I wo... | |
| Why adding a subwoofer was a bad idea Yeah, sub bass frequencies will go through anything! The only thing that may stop it are the concrete floors you find in high rise building. The bass will still go right through walls (multiple walls!). lol. | |
| Fake Furutech speaker cables? I have purchased Furutech rhodium power plugs and recently a Furutech HDMI cable from Japan sellers on ebay and have never had a problem. The items delivered were real Furutech items. However, there are still going to be a high number of FAKE pr... | |
| Need a new BD player, region free There really isn't an officially supported "region free" player because the manufacturers are restricted by DVD and bluray licensing to only be able to play discs in a certain region. You can buy hacks and modifications if you want. There's a reg... | |

| What is wrong with audiophiles? TOTAL FAIL! So total in fact it has nothing to do with audiophiles at all. If there's one thing for sure we can say about the OP its that the responses of people vs audiophiles actually happened. Its reported fact, not opinion. So this one is ... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? I think a lot of what has happened here with "audiophiles" is "perception bias". They get locked onto a perception of what something "should be" instead of the actuality of "what is". This means that whatever idea or product or brand has been su... |
