| From Benz to? I went from the Benz Ebony L to a Zyx 4D. As much as I liked the Benz, the 4D is an all around better/bigger sound. A little more lively but not in your face | |
| Mogami - Quad 12 ga. in the house! Thanks @erik_squires I've been considering new speaker cables. Maybe I'll try these | |
| Tweaks, money pit or real value? @hiendmmoe The thing that seems to always follow them is how soon I seem to not recognize the improvement anymore. Initially wow that sounds incredible and then after awhile acclimation sets in and here we go again. Isn't that just human nat... | |

| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @unreceivedogma I agree with that approach. However, helping and learning is the reason i and most are here. As @jjss49 had pointed out i think the major pitfall for all those who try to contribute here is to take different views personally a... | |
| Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes @mr_m Have you seen the price of toilet paper recently? Maybe they were smart. Hard to say how long it will take things to turn around. Probably not as soon as we would like | |
| Warning for Revel lovers @mtrot Thank you for the info. It sounds logical to me. I just never thought about turning the temp down in the refrig. I'll leave it there since this is off topic. I'll PM you with my results. arte | |
