| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @zappas ”… Aliexpress has them dirt cheap.…” Not so. Anything but in fact. I would refer you to the many posts search below highlighting that the AliExpress, AliBaba ( whatever …) offerings are nothing more than Uber-cheap inferior materials a... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers @mitch2 Yes… VANDERSTEEN subs are terrific with their high-end crossovers. I’m hoping to upgrade mine to their current model as my next sub at some time in the near future. There is a 2nd part to the edited review I posted before. It highlights... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers It is not just a rigid box design by itself, or throwing more money at it, or the latest app that carves out the contenders from the pretenders. There are three main challenges that we face. The link below and its condensed and edited article extr... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations for Kharma Elegance DB7-S.... Going from memory, I heard them at an audio expo …. The cables were an all-NORDOST VALHALLA loom array. | |
| Nordost cable damage - opinions? It is a flaw on one single silver coated copper ferrule this won’t affect your audio performance…. but it will give you a more difficult time to sell them, and force you to swallow a haircut on your asking price should you elect to sell them. | |

| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? Good luck on that one. BOSE has never lived down its reputation, and its well-travelled parody limerick: ”No highs, no lows,…it must be BOSE”. | |
| High Efficiency Options? - @ 92 db efficiency, it’s a +1 for the REFERENCE 3a MM De Capos ( the predecessor “i” or the current newer “BE” tweeter models). If it’s for a smaller room (bedroom) then it’s smaller sibling DULCETs will do nicely. - @89db efficiency in a small... | |
| Buyer Beware Yup …. The expanding cohort of bottom-feeding scum bucket scammers will continue to walk among us, and creating a collective kryptonite in our various audio forum listing bulletin boards. But there are a couple of time-honoured very simple homili... | |

| Help selecting Pioneer Elite used receiver @riley804 you betcha sir! You already nailed it ! I quoted your post to emphasize it with some more specific detail on to support that it is (I) lock to fail, (II) impossible to fix, and (iii) a poor purchase and no L-T investment. | |
| Help selecting Pioneer Elite used receiver @riley804 the thing would stop me from buying any of these is that if something was to happen to one of them, can it still be repaired as they are getting old and parts might not be available. They are impossible to repair. The pro techs won... | |
