Why do cables need break-in?
How about, "Hooked on 'electron'ics". 
Best Mid Fi Amp from 90s to today. Look
I used to own a Meridian 557, I had no complaints with it! 
Jeff Rowland or Mark Levinson???
I'll ask what others have, which models? All responses thus far are Pro JR, nothing wrong with that, but from what I have read, the new ML amps are a big improvement over their predecessors, which many were happy with. I would suggest you try your... 
Anyone Hear the New Nautilus 800 Yet?
Go to this Web page, http://www.thuntek.net/~bk11/product1.htm, and scroll to the bottom to the GRANITE "Copernicus" speakers. I have never heard them, but I know of Stephan Sank, the creator of them. $4500 and claims, "I feel very, very confident... 
The best bookshelf speaker
What about the Revel M20? 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I do not qualify for owning my speakers for a long time, not quite 1 year, but they were first manufactured in 1993, I believe. I bought them used and I am VERY happy with them and have no plans of switching anytime soon. They are TDL Studio Monit... 
Custom jumpers?
I have always thought jumper down is the correct method, I cannot see where the reverse would be better.For optimum results, get a second set of speaker cables. I used to use two sets in years past and it easily outperformed the jumpers I tried. T... 
Are Tuners - Audiophile quality
My experience was simliar to yours DcAudio. My first "stereo" was a Technics rack system from the mid 80's. As I changed my system through the years I did away with the tuner (sometime in the 80's) and had not used one at all until last year. I st... 
Meridian 861 - want a competative dealer
I did business with Rick Ratliff at Alpine Audio a few years ago. I found him on a Web site that rated dealers and also allowed users to leave comments. Alpine Audio was highly recommended, great comments from customers. He gave me a great price a... 
Which is better RCA or the Balance
Could not say it better than Abstract7.Best thing you could do is contact the manufacturer of your equipment and ask them which should perform best in their equipment. 
where I might be able to find spk spades
www.wbtusa.com Not only do they make speaker connectors, but also IC connectors and I/O jacks for componants. I see a number of manufactures use WBT products an their equipment. JPS SC2 speaker cable uses WBT. I have their speaker cable w/Bananna'... 
opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9
Thanks Iblume! The bi-/tri-wiring I have done in the past was: 1) I used two sets of speaker cables. 2) My previous speakers were Linn AV-5140, designed with a tri-wire setup. I first used Linn's K-400 wire which has two separate runs within each ... 
opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9
As to bi-wiring, I do not know if a speaker sounds any better by a company making their speaker bi- or tri-wire. BUT, I feel if they designed it bi- or tri-wire it will perform better when used that way versus jumpers.Leafs, I would like to hear t... 
opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9
Leafs, does the Coincident Total Reference Series come in bi-wire? JPS SC2 does not, you have to use jumpers, Joe makes SC2 jumpers also. Do you remember the difference between the JPS SC2 and Coincident TR? 
opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9
I wish you lived near me, in MI , I would love to have you comapare my JPS SC2 speaker cable with the Total Reference Series Speaker Cable.
