| Furukawa power cables Our hobby was started by guys who made their own gear and now few even attempt a very easy power cord build . Furukawa used to supply Oyaide OCC copper and when they stopped production Oyaide researched and now produces their own which is even bet... | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat Tripg ,Buying used saves money if you're going to sell it later . If you can audition the 250 Watt Gilmore Audio Raven stereo class D amp at $1750 new , you may want to keep them . I bought his mono block Raptors with identical specs , save power ... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy Use the shortest cables you can , especially Interconnects . Parts Connexion sells Duelund gold over occ copper single ended ( RCA ) cables . I can't recommend any unshielded cables except balanced . I'd recommend balanced on XLR's if you can . Fo... | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). sunnyjim, Just before I retired I got my final pair of speakers manufacturer-direct . You will hate yourself if you don't at least listen to Spatial Audio's Hologram M3 Turbo S with a 4 ohm impedance or his M3 Triode Master with 16 ohm impedance a... | |
| Fm tuner You can find a Pioneer TX 9500 II on Ebay sometimes under $300 in fine working condition . It's got the smoothest analog tuning feel and excellent reception and good sound in stereo or mono . This was their top-of-the-line tuner and is the one I ... | |
| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K The Transcendent Sound Phono Preamp is very well regarded, although factory-assembled it's $ 1099 . Under $900 for the kit if you can do it yourself . Only 2 gain stages ,all triodes . Many say it's still the best product he offers . Worth a look ? | |

| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S replaced my Klipsch RF-5's that I had upgraded . A friend heard these and commented that speakers aren't supposed to sound This Good . Personally , in 50 years I've not heard more satisfying speakers . No subs needed , IMO . | |

| Class D Technology Class D amplifiers are good at delivering lots of clean power, that's true , but you listen to speakers driven by them . From my perspective the best sound has a seemingly limitless low level resolution and quickness where you can hear very far in... | |
| How hard it is to replace the rca input on the shindo amplifier? Heat flows from the tip to the parts and from the heating element to the tip . You should use the largest spade tip that will work so it's mass , therefore heat it contains is greatest at any given temperature . Avoid conical tips for most jobs . |
