Paradigm studio 20 vs 60? Help please
B_limo. It just so happens that I auditioned both Studio 20s and 60s about a year ago when I bought my first pair of hi-fi speakers. I remember enough to say that I didn't feel like one speaker was significantly better than the other: each had its... 
Damping sheets work
Jtcf, and to others in general: I've used damping material (Dynamat) throughout the entirety of my CDP, including the underside of both the top of the case enclosure, and, the underside of the bottom of the enclosure. I can only say that the resul...

Please answer these three questions first:1. What is your budget? (How much money do you have to spend on everything)?2. What size is your room? (Measure in feet: length / width / height)3. How soon do you want to buy everything? (1 week / 6 month...

Your jaw dropping cables
LessLoss Anchorwave Loudspeaker Cables.I went from Kimber 4TC to these LessLoss Anchorwaves: Jaw dropping indeed! They may be 6 times the price of the 4TC, but they perform preferably (to my ears) to even the highly praised Siltech 770L, and, the ...
