Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable
Isn‘ this ultimately a function of the construction of the cable? There are vast differences between single core, litz, twisted pair and shielded vs unshielded cables in terms of resistance and more importantly capacitance. While generally shorter...

A different view of power cords
@oregonpapa,totally agree with everything you say on cleaning up the power. In lieu of TC you might try madscientistaudio.com‘s Graphene Contact Enhancer with like effect. For me passive power conditioning using Acoustic Revive power cords and Rtp...

Switching to battery power
@millercarbon,how did you convert your Verus Rim Drive and what is involved? Sounds very intriguing. What weight is your platter? 
Switching to battery power
My Zyx Artisan phono stage is battery-powered and hard to beat in terms of S/N ratio and speed. As pointed out above it makes most sense where small amounts of DC power are needed. That said anyone converting a whole system with a Tesla power cell...

Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system
For the sake of y’all: commenting on things you have not heard on account of some spurious third party opinion is uncool and a waste of everybody’s time. Rspectful comments get you further than invective. And finally: enjoy the music, it’s the mos...
