| Choosing between floorstanding speakers. In in that case, look at the SVS Ultra. They list for $2,000 a pair. | |
| I need advice for power cords Dimora has it exactly right: A $5,000 power cord is limited by your house wiring, no matter what claims might be made by the manufacturer. A case could be made for ultra-expensive cords if; and only if, you run them all back to a dedicated power p... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts Tweak1:You're mistaken about how wire is made. Rods can be extruded; but much more often are either die cast or rotary hammer forged or swaged from copper ingots. Wire, of course, does begin as a rod. However, the wire itself is never extruded; ... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts BTW. That .47 picofarad bypass cap could only start affecting high frequency roll-off at well over 100 KZ. Which means it has zero effects on audible sounds! Pure, unadulterated snake oil, that’s all! | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts I meant to include what should be obvious with just a couple seconds reflection: audio signals are AC, not DC. So current flows in both directions, eh? “Holy freakin’ fraud”, as Robin might say to Batman! | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts C’mon guys! Use a little common sense here: how can speaker cables possibly be directional (aside from stuff like MIT and others used to make, or perhaps still do; with those highly questionable “sound enhancing” potted circuitry. I say “highly ... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts I’ll probably catch a lot of flak about this. But, IMHO if you buy .999 OFC copper with quality gold-plated RCA, or regular balanced XLR to 1/4” phone plug cables; paying over $250 for a pair of twenty footers is just wasted money. If it’s no obje... | |
| For efficient speakers, how much difference does an amp really make? In your shoes, I’d audition the ACEYYK 160 watt Bluetooth integrated tube amp. Amazon has it priced at $1,010.99 delivered. If you don’t like it, just return within 30 days full refund. If it’s somehow defective return is free. If it’s a case of “... | |
| For efficient speakers, how much difference does an amp really make? Try an integrated tube amplifier or preamp + power amp set. With those speakers, anything over 100 WPC RMS should work fine, and give you a lot better sound than your current Outlaw mono blocks. | |
| Please recommend a receiver/integated/seaprates for JBL studio 530. Crown power amplifier and Semoic Audio 6j1 tube preamplifier. Depending on which Crown you get, you can easily stay under $500, especially on Amazon.I’ve got their 145 RMS WPC version and paid $249 for it used. They still have a couple more in sto... | |

| Welcome to Headphones I’m looking for an “:ambience” control like my old Headroom amp had. There was a switch to add center channel sound so it it was not just left and right channels. Better still, a variable soundstage width controller similar to this one:https//soun... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Backless, Eric Clapton | |
| Can a CD player being close to a receiver or power amplifier affect its performance? Wrap the digital player in copper mesh sheets to make a faraday cage around it. Will stop any digital hash from affecting your other gear. Cheap too. Fold and solder the seams. Crimp or folded seams don’t really work that well. I’m make a habit of... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier Budget rules! If you’re flush, Mark Levinson, Krell, PASS Labs, AR. Best budget , both integrated or pre and power amp separates are from AVA. My personal favorites, in order: Crown, Bryston, Audio by Van Alstine, Paradound, NAD and Rotel. Rot... |
