Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best,
There are many fine speakers to listen to and many not so fine. However, once you get to listening for a long years those become your reference and that's fine but we can never own the best, why because it's subjective.  There are a lot of fine sp... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
Audiofile A person that is may never happy with the sound they have and has to have the latest design. Of course that does not mean they do not love music it just mean they can't completely enjoy what the have.    
Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best,
Speaker built in the mid to late 80s and now are modern designed speakers. We should discuss speaker built in the late 60s to the 80s. Speakers Like: JBL, Bozak, Rectilinear, Klipsch, Macintosh. These speakers were another breed of designs. Examp... 
The best speaker cables you’ve had
Beldon wire and cable make great Teflon silver plated wire. I had 100’ 18awg 3 conductors with a silver plated shield. You connect the shield a receive ground end and double up wires on the 18 grounds. Do Not connect the shield at both ends proved... 
considering a Burson Headphone amplifier DAC has someone listen to it
I just look for folks that have listen to a Burson Headphone amp. I believe the 9038 dac have been well received as good depending on the implementations. It have MUSES 72320 to control the volume!! with remote control.  
Anthem MRX 720 Question
I have an 1120 Anthem and the software is poor no comparison to my Integra. One of the amp has failed and it no longer switches correctly.  The sound is ok cause I use my PASS LABS for the two out side speakers. As for the Audio return channel tha... 
Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever!
There a fact to these DAC's no matter how much you spend they can only get so good. Yea there are a lot of details that make one sound good. However the bag is open on the that people that design them all know the same stuff. Ground, Timing, Data ... 
Amp Internal Wire
You know that the path on circuit board are copper not silver and performance does not suffer. Special case is to make board it self of Teflon but that really because temperature. So wiring everything with silver is not necessarily but Teflon insu... 
Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s
So the Bias slides up, big deal and down. Krell would have done time domain tests to determine if there spurs appear off the fundamental.  Something like this would not be done by a field but an engineer. We would do this in the digitally domain f... 
Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s
If it changed the bias in few milliseconds you will not know the difference. However can the power demand keep up, will it compress the dynamics in the outputs. The main reason for doing this is to save money in the power supply and lowering the w... 
Krell anticipator circuits of the 1990s
It depends on multiple elements in the design. The Bias point the amp runs at at idle. The speed of the output stage ( slew rate ) How long long do you hold the amp stage at a class A bias before returning to idle. There are multiple way to incre... 
looking for a more efficient speaker.....
speaker have compliance and the compliance in nonlinear there is resistance to motion is the surround and at low levels it restricts the cone.  A issue with older horn spreader that I know  has changed to these efficient speaker now is the quality... 
looking for a more efficient speaker.....
Speakers are like car motors, the start working there best when they start making power and speakers work better when they hit 90db are louder. Most high sensitivity speakers give up a performance at low levels and the bass performance is not grea... 
Analog vs. digital
Haven’t used my turn table i years. I just want to hear music and not have fiddle with records. It’s not that important that the music can sound a little better is I can listen and relax. It’s all about the music and not the front to back depth or... 
The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered
 I had read that cryogenic treating certain metals improve there conductivity but you correct does not make them a superconductor.
