| How good does my system have to be to realize an improvement with cables? De Beers is now telling us that we should spend 2 months wages on a diamond ring. So doesn't it follow that we should now be spending 20% of our equipment value on cables? 😆 | |
| Its not vinyl Just finished listening to the remastered 50th anniversary re issue of Thick As A Brick. It came in the original British cover of a 12 page newspaper. Try cramming all that into your CD case. 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| To hot or not ??????????? The amp rating on the wall plug and breaker should have no bearing on your equipment. The voltage is the thing. The size of the breaker only regulates the total draw the line can provide. Your equipment will only take the power it needs and is ... | |
| Why not? Line up all the cables, do blind testing and publish the results. If there really is an improvement in sound, it should be apparent to all, or at least most. I suspect very few cable manufacturers will allow their feet to be held to the fire. | |
| "A life's quest - the Contendo II Horn speaker system is realized Looks like it's waiting to be mounted under a wing. 🤣 | |
| Ribbon Cables vs. Standard I have a set of XLO Signature 3-5.2 cables and a set of Silversmith Audio Fidelium Speaker Cables. I can't hear any difference between the two. Just my ears or is it just no difference between speaker cables once you spend a few dollars? The ma... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! These comparisons just make me laugh. With 10,000 (?) DACs on the market, who can pick a list of 10 and make the claim "these are the best". It's all pie in the sky until they start doing everything in a blind test. And even then I would want s... | |

| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? "If you spent $2M on a modern "Supercar", you’d arrive at the end of a quarter mile 2 football fields behind the quickest highly-modified "street legal" cars from the muscle car era." I question the veracity of your opening statement. | |
| Best sounding Johnny Cash CD(s)? "Unchained" would be at the top of my list. In a word, fabulous. | |
| Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks? How about the new Jubilee from Klipschorn. Now there's a statement. | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? If you really think you can hear the difference one meter of cable makes at the end of the electrical chain, then why not go all the way and install a Tesla Wall Battery system and cut out the electric grid all together. Would seem the only solut... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Su Qi liaomei7@qq.com I have just pruchased some Linlai tubes from this vendor direct in China. He speaks, writes and reads English expertly. He was willing to offer the tubes I wanted at 30% below the best price I had found. Shipped by DHL, t... | |
| Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review? Has anyone ever read a review that wasn't glowing, or at the very least positive? I still marvel at one HI-Fi mag review of 25 different 75 ohm coax cables. The reviewer managed to come up with different superlatives for the top 20. A feat in i... | |
