@mark200mph  I also use MM3 w Exact filter   which is built in to the middle cab of the all accuton system three ... which is much better vs mm3 exact  nothing wrong w mm3 exact :) but 20 years later design and drivers ... much better

"audiophiles listen to their equipment"
@stuartk my mistake.  Cables was another thread  audio listeners create a system, and they upgrade their equipment just like musicians play instruments and upgrade their instruments… It’s the same thing, I don’t know why you can’t comprehend that... 
"audiophiles listen to their equipment"
@stuartk  So you don't own a good system yet you're sure AC cables have no effect ?  Am I hearing you  It's not crazy money to get a system capable of hearing AC cables ... under $10,000.  You've had decades ... you have $10,000 what's needed i... 
Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors
@roadcykler  AC cables are 100% objectively audible, and often measurable, I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is.  Shunyata Research is the best stuff imo.  And a great value compared to the field of options.    
"audiophiles listen to their equipment"
@stuartk all of the musicians I know are very much into tone   these tend to be guitar players, keyboard players, bass players, the sound of their instrument / their equipment is an essential part of their whole process for the audiophiles thei... 
Do I need upgraded power cables?
@bzawa the important part of your question is that you’re asking other people what you "need", and in my experience, that’s just never the way to go. fear of missing out means you’re already in fear ... so you’re not in a position to listen criti... 
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
@limomangus $2000 is a lot of money and there are many really good DA for 2000 or less and there are also some that are not so good it’s not a contest on expense, use your ears and find what works for you @choiceaudio I tried to engage with the ... 
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
@donavabdear do you have the avid MTRX DA conversion from DAD? That one’s actually terrible especially for the price   @jasonbourne71 i’m sure some part of you has good intentions, but you’re coming across as a tool. and you’re factually wrong ... 
Qobuz vs Tidal
@ghdprentice not to pick on you in particular but because you brought up the point… High resolution audio is 100% marketing bullshit the best Audio possible is whatever was happening in the mastering room, that is what was approved by the artist... 
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
@bobbyloans i’ve gone down the rabbit hole of upgrades from every direction and if you are inspired to do any particular thing, I would certainly not stop you… However A big upgrade that many people miss out on is simply addressing the AC power i... 
Replace tubes yearly?
The adage, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it ... comes to mind   I will often leave my Allnic Audio A-6000 300 BXLS tube amplifiers on 24 seven they are on at least 12 hours a day every day for the last five years, I have an AT-1000 Amplitrex test... 
What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles
@squared80 literally every cable sounds different ... speaker, interconnect, AC power, etc  just like all the various AC power conditioners and regenerators and balancing transformers, they all have a sound also   if we don't hear it that's OK, ... 
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
@roadwhorerecords ridiculous and redundant both :)  
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
@lalitk    you made a couple of reasonable comments and then a whole lot of sales pitch that any AI could have generated   upsampling a master is always damaging, always MQA always adds distortion. Always. Bulk processing was common and that t...
