Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect
You would need to burn/buy a CD of pink noise. You can generate it using a variety of software. Or just use the pink noise generating software and hook up your computer to the USB input. I’ve not done that yet, so I can’t speak to its difficulty. ... 
Duelund 16g Speaker Wire Question
I love the wirebarn combined gauge calculator. Good share! 
Support table or shelf for turntable
I've had good success cheaply using springs under my components if they have a very rigid/flat chassis. Otherwise, I've been using cutting boards and putting the component on the board. Getting the spring ratings correct is the hardest part and it...

And Slaw, I just went back and re-read all your attacks on me after my last post. Man, you're a handful, aren't you? You're basically telling me that if I'm not listening to my system at every opportunity, if I'm not trying everything I suggest, t...

Even if you don't have fault lines under you, even if you live on Australia, one of the most geologically dead places on the Earth, there are still seismic movements as the crust rides atop the mantel, as large trucks rumble down highways, as indu... 
Duelund 16g Speaker Wire Question
Great analogy.I agree. I always over-do it on cables. I run 12 gauge wires to my woofers and 14 to my mids and tweeters. Before I biwired, I used 10 gauge. But I also use speakers with side firing 12"s, so they like current. In general, for me, it... 
Which direction?? - KCI Silkworm ICs
Just looked them up.. I only read about the silkworm+, not the original. From what I can tell, there is no floating shield, so you don’t have to worry about that. So, if it matters to you, just listen both directions. I don’t bother with wire dire... 
Which direction?? - KCI Silkworm ICs
Yet it does.Do the ICs have arrows? If so, they point from source to sink. If not, you want any floating shield to be attached at the source end. If there's no floating shield, try both directions, but keep them in one way for a bit and listen clo... 
Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?
Oh willemj... You are such a fundamentalist when it comes to what you believe to be true.And you're reply will be: 'It's not a belief, my opinions are based on science. They're facts. Anything contrary is incorrect" 
Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect
I second DIY. I use solid core silver signal conductors, OCC neutral conductors and KLEI pure harmony solid silver connectors. I utilize a helix design (on all my cables, actually). Reasonably easy to make and less than $200 in materials. Most imp...

Benefits of an external DAC
Oppos only good for background music? That's some serious elitism right there. They're great sounding digital players at their price and are fine for serious listening. I'm sure the chord Dave is better.. doesn't mean you have to dis a lower price...
