| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... @crozbo Yes. And I’d like to add that good cables will improve the sound of an audio component/system, regardless of cost. Examples: speaker cable upgrades on a $300 compact shelf system. Power cord upgrade on a $99 (retail) plate amp. There are... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio @hilde45 Winner: Best Topic of the Day I’ve found in my 40+ years in the industry that the near (or actual) genius level individuals are the most intellectually humble -- and the best listeners. They are masters at relaying highly technical con... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @c_avila1 "Have you ever upgraded coupling caps? If you know, you know. It’s part of the hobby for me. Sorry if that bothers you." Sounds like fun. I think some fail to realize that even the most brilliant designers/manufacturers have retained... | |

| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? A couple of comments: Frequency response is measured with continuous signal at 1 watt of input. This does not take into account what happens when things really get moving and music is played through them. The linearity of a steady state output... | |

| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? I'm so grateful to be following a conversation about how to re-tip a $12k phono cartridge. Sure beats coversations about laser prostrate surgery. | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN @classicrockfan "not wasting money: correct" I get it. I find myself forced to take several "exits" before the gear I really want. I want all the "Hertz" I can get, with as little "hurts" to my checkbook as possible. Besides, if you tried "the... | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN @knownothing Thanks for supporting the comment I made that may have set a new record for the number of typos in a single sentence. @classicrockfan While I am in total agreement that you can get much better than OEM SQ out there for under $50,... | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? @ktarver "Why on god green earth would anyone run solid conductors for cables that transmit frequencies?" It’s been know for some time that "skin effect" becomes a non-factor at a given cable diameter. Well-designed "solid core" cables can pass... | |
| Are there any issues with connecting speaker wire in this manner? @lcherepkai Unless you’re willing to modify the chassis, run raw speaker cable internally, and direct solder to the exit points of the output stages, you’re going to be dealing some compromise in SQ. Each termination point introduces an addition... | |

| Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....? Way back when, I heard a manufacturer’s rep/friend of mine state: "Audio is the cheapest hobby you can have. No green fees. Docking fees. Travel. Hotels. Lodging. Meals away from home. Outrageous insurance premiums. Risk of bodily harm/death." I ... | |
