Component contributions to “sound stage”
I have to agree when you feel you have a great system and soundstage it is a combination of the right pieces. I was very happy with my system and read on here about putting slugs in place of fuses. Someone mentioned the Swiss Digital fuse. I did s...

Agreed. I started mine 46 years ago and can’t wait to see what the future brings.

What happened to talking about music and equipment?

I will look into them thanks for the advice.

Great analogy!

I looked at the  Iconoclast cables white papers based on science article and it was way over my head. I know what my ears hear and that is enough for me. I like to compare cartridges so a a/b them. I have two tables connected and duplicate albums ...

MR Skeptic, I think sometimes you are right. If I pay a lot of money for something I want it to sound better. I heard the difference in the music and so do a lot of others. Are you saying you have tried it yourself and not just looked at the scie...

Thanks everyone for your input. It sounds like a lot of you have experienced the same result as I did. Some of you are spot on. I am older and my hearing has changed. I am in this journey for the pleasure I get from the music. The equipment I have...

In my  main system I have a Mcintosch c28, VTL 240 deluxe mono blocks, Oracle delphi turntable with a signet arm, Thorens td 160 with a syntec S200 arm and to many cartridges to list. I use a furman 15amp power conditioner and a ps labs ultimate o...

Erik, Great reply. I agree on the room acoustics. I am lucky there. I have an out building that I have converted into my sanctuary. It has great acoustics. It seems to be shrinking as I add equipment. I built a 30 by 50 shop and told my wife it w... 
Where do you stop?
I started with clearday double shotgun speaker wires 250 on here. I buy a lot of used stuff and have had great luck with it, that stretches my buying power and if I don't like it I resell it. Then I bought a pair of Nordost  silver ribbon intercon... 
Where do you stop?
In my opinion the sound is better than anything I have had previously. It is exactly as described, detailed and quite. I am considering having the speakers rewired with silver wire just to see what it does and maybe using it for my subs too. And I... 
VTL information
