Speaker cable vibration?
I would think that the degree of vibrations in binding posts, cables, or anything attached to a speaker cabinet for that matter, would be in direct proportion to how solidly the speaker cabinet was constructed.I have found, for my taste, that I en...

Michael, couldn't quite tell if you were kidding.If not, did the Shumann Resonators make your system sound better? We all know that EMF radiation can affect audio signals. I found a very visual study of this on an unbelievably cool video made by N...

How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?
Blkadr,I know that to be true. I played football (soccer over here) for 30 years and I know that when I was on the field with some unexpressed emotion held in my body, my skills were compromised, nothing flowed right. I also recall that when I got...

Your Worst WAF Incident
Daverhab, The stakes have indeed been raised. If my wife had to take an ice-cold shower due to my audio habit, I bet I would be the one taking cold showers, probably for a month, if you get my meaning...BTW, I have an electrician coming over in an...
