| What's going on with the used audio gear market? I’ve had 2 McIntosh pieces on Craigslist in the SF bay for a month that would’ve sold within 4-6 days max 4 months ago… Yes there has been a distinct slowdown in the last month or two. The rush to hoard and accumulate that was peaking 4-6 month... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today With any foil cable the placement of each leg in relation to the other is important. Keeping everything equal distance - like with those cable lifters made by @bigtwin - will improve things. When I was experimenting with copper foils I found havi... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? I tried to find these PADIS fuses and they have been discontinued, along with the Furutech’s which they manufactured. The only cheap audiophile fuses seem to be all this Aliexpress stuff. Who knows what they are like - Aucharm, Gustard e.t.c | |
| Anyone tried Auditorium 23 speaker cables ? Apparently they have not changed since the early 90's. Been around forever. | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me @missioncoonery Why are you wasting your time calling audio stores to do a bad amp channel verification? Just call up/use your local TV repair/warranty shop. Every city has them. And it will be 3x cheaper as well. To Paypal an electronics shop ... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses Are PADIS (or even Furutech) fuses even available anymore? I cannot find them for sale except on a Greek website, which is suspicious for a product made in Germany as it should have more sellers available. | |

| Capacitor What do you guys recommend for input caps (the literal first component on the circuit) on a power amp? I have a high bandwidth, high slew rate, neutrally voiced power amp. I did some mods recently and changed the stock input caps to Audience XO. ... | |
| HRS and MIT powerbar Yes. I did not believe it myself until I put some Stillpoints under my Nordost power distributor (and other ancillary products). The improvement was so obvious I was like... this sucks, cos I now need 4x more sets of Stillpoints... | |
| The Audio Critic When I first got into this hobby 20 years ago The Audio Critic had a bunch of guides/courses teaching you the hobby, how to select equipment and so on. The theme was - all amplifiers sound the same, choose your speakers via measurement graphs not... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers I needed so many lifters/risers, never bothered to buy them because it was too expensive to outfit my whole system. That was until the Audioquest fog lifters came along. 2 packs (16 lifters) for reasonable money. It makes a difference. Audioquest... | |
| Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara You always get that sense of closing in and loss of dynamics with power conditioners, but you do hear gains in other areas. The negative effects are not really apparent until you switch the conditioner out. I just love the Nordost QB8 and I am n... | |
| Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures Uptone literally sold thousands and thousands of both LPS variants. There is bound to be a small % of failures like with any other product. The comments you see on the web about failure are sometimes indicative of how many units are out there - r... | |
