| speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD? @boostedis + 1, Good quality well made is easy enough to do, justifying the cost is another thing ! So it’s not necessarily snake oil, but certainly BS and gouging is there. Sort of what ever the market will bear ? Cheers | |
| speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD? Knukonceptz Karma 10 gauge twisted wire with quality soldered ends. Bought in bulk $200. approx. As good as it gets !! Cheers | |
| 12 AWG Mains Power Cable From Wall To Power Conditioner Sufficient? Yes of course as said before if it’s on a 20 amp breaker, it’s the same gauge as what’s in your wall. And sound quality has absolutely nothing to do with that at this point !! | |
| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? The formula for collecting is to collect the right stuff. That Boss 302 today is retirement money or a damn fine sound system and transportation. Cheers | |

| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @onhwy61 + 1 at 100% And IMO a great system of the past will still trump most really good systems of today, certainly a financially rewarding option. | |
| Used vs. new It’s down to selective shopping I’d say. So you buy great used then refurbish and or upgrade. Depending on the cash layout one generally ends up with a system of a quality that new few could afford ! Speak to people with older or vintage equipment... | |
| How to test speaker cables by ChatGPT I would think dynamic performance, clarity and details, noise floor, imaging was mentioned…. Listening dah !! And who cares what they’re made of ? Whatever spec tests are done along with finding something that sounds good to you, is really all tha... | |

| An interesting experience with power cable. @audphile1 With much pride it’s not over kill, 4 x 5’ 6” columns that love dipping in the 1 ohm area. Room is a decently dressed 36 x 22 with 10 x 12” woofers,12 electro static mid. range of various sizes, you can enjoy close to live possibly ev... | |
| An interesting experience with power cable. I’ve two Lincoln welders, 240 V 50 amp. each. Both use eight gauge cable. So people are to believe a small amplifier needs 8 gauge ? I use two amps weighing 136 lbs each putting out 500+ watts per Ch. at .003 Thd., their hard wired with 12 gauge a... | |

| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k @mihorn , Now that’s cheep, promoting his own crap on an audio discussion form. Bye-bye buddy.. | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? IMO whether you’re an audiophile or a plumber doesn’t matter, people shouldn’t drop in and jam their hands on anything without asking ! Find new friends or train the old ones at the door ! Cheers | |
| Whittling down my choices to a final few pair... Agree with most, you should find a way to hear any and all first. And hopefully then check out the used market. Depreciation in 4-5 years is insane, worse than buying a new car ! Cheers |
