@celtic66  Mostly, we come in peace, in search of enlightenment, exposure to a bit of wit, not an inquisition.   Beautifully expressed. @hilde45  Civil discussion about political issues and differences is, well, the basic idea of a democrac... 
Long Run of Speaker Cabling
Before spending the large amount it will take to acquire a more "premium" cable you might consider spending about $180 total to purchase two 18' runs of Canare 4s11 "Star Quad" speaker cable from Blue Jeans Cable.  It ends up being 11 gauge as I r... 
Help deciding between two speakers.
It appears that the infinity's sell in the $500-$700 range.  Refoaming is relatively inexpensive.  But if they need the crossovers refreshed/updated I would think you are looking at spending about the cost of the speakers for the update.  
Ground loop hum
@kavakat1  Somehow you have ignored my post above which I believe is your problem. I could be mistaken, but I think that your problem is that the interconnects between the turntable and phono stage and/or the interconnects between the phono stag... 
Ground loop hum
The only time I had a hum that sounded like a ground loop from my turntable was when I was using a set of interconnects that were not properly insulated for turntable use.  Morrow literature made it clear to use their phono specific interconnects ... 
Audio Grade Ethernet Cable
@goofyfoot  From $1,000.00 to $10,000.00 is a huge mark but it may be realistic. Pardon me as I did exaggerate.  Have no real experience with actual audio mark ups but have read here that 5 times cost from manufacture to sale is not unusual.  
Audio Grade Ethernet Cable
The concept of what I wrote above is in no way exclusive to the audio industry.  
Audio Grade Ethernet Cable
Agree in general with the above.  But here is the cynical side to my thinking, take it with a grain of salt. If I was a principal of an audio manufacturing company, I would be keenly aware and give hard thought to the fact that for every part add... 
Is AI going to kill Hifi?
I understand the allure of AI and the time it saves versus using one's own time and sweat to study and think things out the old fashioned way. I am sure every bad actor country is dedicating tremendous manpower exploring every possibility to use ... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
@immatthewj  I realize the origin of the political reference. @nonoise  You're writing the same theme again.  Statistically a lot of the members have the same political leanings as you but somehow aren't interested in the capital recap on inter... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
@grannyring  I consider you a gentleman and always enjoy your posts. Regarding a post above that implies that the moderator is using a different set of standards to monitor which posts are removed between individuals, it is my impression that th... 
Mcintosh MQ112
I have the Schiit Lokius that cost $300.  It is not remote control but I have it in the tape loop of my preamp which is RC.  So I can use the preamp RC to have it equalizing the sound or not with the push of a button.  But I cannot adjust the band... 
Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
The price increase was obviously necessary because SF speakers are being upgraded with higher quality Bose speaker drivers and crossovers. Ha, ha  
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
@immatthewj  Unfortunately, they also say to subtract 12 years for those of us who enjoy an alcohol beverage or two.  So 79-12 equals 67.   I better go see the doctor, I may be dead already.    
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
@abnerjack  It seems that @mahgister or one of his enablers/apologists objected to my post and  some others and went crying to Mommy about their maltreatment.  @mahgister won’t admit to it and if he didn’t do it no one else will admit to it eith...
