Hardwire speaker driver connectors?
Assuming you don't mind doing the work(and this post means you don't), any REASONABLE person would not damage the tweeters. This is the way I install drivers. Solder will be better than what you have now. Better still would be butt splicing the tw... 
Inexpensive DIY Speakers
Thanks for the compliments John_l and Evo845. Actually, I have reread the question in this thread, and have even done some more thinking. A good thing to try here is to run the midwoofer full range. It would: save money(no inductor needed), let th... 
How can power cords make a difference?
Thank you for your comments Albert. You are quite correct. My friend was sceptical, and his bandmate had no idea at all about wire. His feeling was that there were no gains to be made via something like this. Now, both are not only believers, but ... 
How can power cords make a difference?
Jordan, the musicians did not test the cords blindly. They knew exactly what they were using. Please see my post in this thread dated May 4th. My friend was using the cord, and was happy. A recording session went REALLY well. Later, he switched ba... 
How can power cords make a difference?
New update on musicians using power cords on their guitar amps. This evaluation was performed by two people in the same band, using different guitars and amps(their own equipment). The contenders were the stock power cords, and two I submitted to ... 
Inexpensive DIY Speakers
This is BY FAR my favorite part of this hobby. Building speakers, and for newbies breaking into the whole ball game. I have been around the block, tried most things, and have come up with one big conclusion after banging my head on a brick wall fa... 
Carl hears through Diamond
I agree with you about AudioQuest Diamond, Carl. One of my favorite cables. You are definitely correct about the great value of the previous generation AQ products. I use AudioQuest Midnight as my subwoofer cable, and it is better(in my system) th... 
How can power cords make a difference?
Funny story I am progressing through right now. A friend of mine(a guitar player) is recording a CD with his band. I expect it to be big. Don't be surprised if this band bursts on the scene big time. I asked him if he could try out a power cord wi... 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Brulee, a "mensch" is a Yiddish(Eastern European Jewish dialect) for good guy. You get to hear a lot of the words from other people's cultures in whatever area you live in. I get Irish, Jewish, German, Polish, Ukranian, Russian, Puerto Rican, etc.... 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Dekay, if you are interested in HomeGrown Audio's cable, I was told by Kevin that a lower priced cable is coming. Don't remember if the reason was increased production efficiency, a different manufacturing procedure, or what. If you'd like, I coul... 
Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?
Dekay, I can vouch for the great sound possessed by the Coincident speaker cables. I am in 100% agreement with Brulee. These cables do NOTHING wrong. So far, they are the best speaker cables I have had in my system(Apature Accu-Flow, AudioQuest In... 
Tube amp problem
Dragon, I have to check in agreement with the power cord. This has happened to me a few times. Frustrating as anything you will experience. Please disconnec the power cord from your amp and the wall. Then reinsert. Hopefully, this is all that is w... 
Any DIYer s out there ?
I don't know if I could be referred to as a DIYer, but I have done a bit of tube rolling and speaker modifying/designing/building in my time. Don't have the woodworking skills to build a "furniture quality" pair of speakers, but cabinet makers are... 
New Stereophile recommended list
Paulwp if you don't mind, I would like to give you my definition of the difference between Class B and C. Price. 
New Stereophile recommended list
I have several problems with the Stereophile list. Let's start with the basic premise of the ratings. The descriptions say that Class A should be best attainable sound. Class C seems to infer that the majority of components belong in that category...
