Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza
@holmz -        I have no doubt that there are many using cables as tone controls, which simply goes to show: cables CAN/DO make a difference in reproduction.       However: everyone I know that uses high-end cables, regardless of position in th...

"To the wire fanatics it is a faith-based religion with zero scientific backing. "      The Church of Denyin'tology holds to the faith-based religion.      ONLY: well practiced at projection and cognitive dissonance!      I have Physics/QED (... 
Silver Speaker Cables
  @lectronjh50-        KUDOS: for having the awareness of your own possible misconceptions, enough scientific curiosity to actually experiment, trust in you own senses/mental capacity to recognize reality and temerity to post your findings.    ... 
Bang & Olufsen launches Beosound Balance in Natural Aluminium
                              Just MY opinion, of course!

Interconnects - better before preamp or after preamp?
Every component, including cabling will degrade the signal to some degree. NO component can “improve” the signal and the best we can hope for is that the component will degrade the signal as little as possible, Of course, how much any one compone... 
Apt Holman preamp: can balance Phono 1 but not Phono 2
          You're welcome.       Again: HOPE it helps!  
Apt Holman preamp: can balance Phono 1 but not Phono 2
     The Apt is a great preamp.       Out of curiosity: when was the last time the electrolytics were gone through/replaced?       Not that those would affect the balance issue, but: the pre is somewhere around 40 years old now.        Regardin... 
Why don't we tire of music?
                                 Think about it!      Aren't we all the happiest, when we're doing things that have no purpose, but to make us happy?      This treatise* (at about 00:08:30), speaks of music's purposelessness, but few will grasp ... 
15 ohm speakers yea or nay?
I believe that many will find that linked article worthwhile.                                              I hope so!      The article's SS section should be of interest to those with bridged, stereo amps (being used as monoblocks), when looki... 
15 ohm speakers yea or nay?
     What impedance tap choices do your tube amps have?      Bearing in mind some are internal: which are you using?      I hate to type, thus: see if any of this helps- https://www.dhtrob.com/overige/tubefriendly_lsp_en.php    
Does dose anyone see these speakers in real?
     Fairly certain: I'll never be faced with the problem.                                     ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  
Mods for HK Citation 22
     Should the OP not respond: consider that his question is almost four years old and he hasn't been on this site for around two.                                        Just sayin'.                                    Happy listening!  
High output MC cartridges for phono with 40dB gain
@crazybookman -        The SUT suggested above should be a very good match for your DL-103, as it has selectable loading between 50 and 100 Ohms, the recommended load for the Denon being 100 Ohms.         The only caveat: any hum/noise present w... 
Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones?
@fthompson251 -  This amp is not going anywhere-(except for the update at VAC in FL)                                               +1       Good decision and any upgrades to the power supply (if in their options) will make power cable changes...
