Can someone give me some insight.
Getting Cables to audition from the cable co is a great way to get into seeing the diffs from brand to brand, and price to price... the thing is though, to only try out one or two pair at a time max. AS was said, left alone cables can and do rever... 
Can someone give me some insight.
All wires are not created equal.Their price tags confirm that.The audio properties they possess also cnfirm that.Are the SR cables active, do you plug them into the wal as well? Are they connected properly, with the active ends at the upstream end... 
New FedEx Ground and USPS Arrangement
I sure hate to say anything positive about a carrier, as they provide the most concerns in this hobby, BUT the last few times a package has been sent to me, it came inside the Fed ex truch… on time. Today I missed it by not being home at 9.45 A.. ... 
Baby Steps back to Tubes.
Just how much are you looking to throw at an SS amp, BTW?Mono blocks? Stereo?I'd think a natural mate would be the Cary 501s.Does that pre go out xlr and rca?on a budget, you could do worse than an odyssey Extreme, or for less, the Stratos Plus.Fo... 
How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system
GregfiskI noticed great extension using the butler multi ch amp with my receiver, still greater with only my BC DAC 3, and when attached to my tube preamp and better cabling, it was more than intriguing. Piercing, etched, glaring, or hard sounding... 
How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system

How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system
Gregfisk Quick Q: Did this brightness issue start only after adding the Butler amp, or has it always been lean clean, and bright sounding? If so, you have your answer on the amp not being the culprit.Ever wonder how many amps are out there which d... 
How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system
Amps which double their rated outputs or don't aren't always the place to start looking for brightness issues. Doubtless few if any of us will actually push an amp far enough along that it needs to output it’s highest level of voltage or current p...

Review: Thor Audio TA 1000 MK II Tube preamp
Thanks much Bob.Now and then in audio land one comes across a setup which simply stops the audio nut in their tracks. The predecessor to the TA 1000 MK II, combined with twin Thor PA 30 mono blocks was one of my own instances which repeatedly haun... 
Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's?
before you go off on another pair of speakers, and I'm not a big fan of Wilson from what I've heard of them in local showrooms, I'd say try this one thing...CAll the cable co and ask for a pair of Nirvana SX Ltd, and a pair of Nirvana SL ICs. Put ... 
need crash course in using digital music.
FLAC stands for FREE LOOLESS AUDIO CODEC.It has several encoding bit rates which allow for it to appear compressed, yet it is simply allowed to reamin lossless in variagble file sizes.Whatever the perfect Wave plaer setup will read, is your way to... 
Definitive Technology Supercube Reference

I am sincerely sorrowful at your loss…. And ours. Larry was indeed a special type.Larry reached out to me one day pursuing a power cord I had for sale at the time. He bought it and said he enjoyed it immensely thereafter.We struck a resonant cord ...
