| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? @steakster After buying the digital cable in this review, my system went from 2D to 3D. It became even more so when I went with a full loom of the same series of SR Atmosphere signal cables. - - - - Two days ago, I swapped positions of ... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List No discussion in the article of methodology or source of data = 100% marketing ploy. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT No offense intended but the length of your reply and it’s style smell of AI, am I correct? | |

| Duracell 660 Powerstation to Run my System off of the mains? I would try grabbing the low hanging fruit which I mean powering the components that have external wall warts with smaller lithium ion battery power banks. Usually that means the dacand a streamer, Sometimes a preamp. This is a good way to make ch... | |

Special thanks also to @sargonicuse ! That opinion piece from the Times is great! I was slow to getting to ... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" @mahgister That is a great memory to have of your father! I like vocals well enough if I like the music they are embedded in.

| What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles @antigrunge2 Reasonable except that is not the way they are sold in my experiance. Could it be because if they were they might be susceptible to testing? | |
| What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles @devinplombier I heartily agree. In my former life in academia it was axiomatic that the less there was to fight over the fiercer the fight. Maybe it was like that with cave men too. | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" Welcome back @mahgister , I haven’t seen you around these parts for quite a spell partner. I Hope you have been well. As far as Handel's genius goes, I much prefer his Water Music and Royal Fireworks music. Given that I have never been able to ma... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" Great insights @elliottbnewcombjr . I especially like this quote from praeclara.org: "Why then did Handel compose Messiah? Or more precisely, why did he dare? The immediate answer is that by 1741 Handel’s life and career were in trouble. Not only... | |
| … "And the government shall be upon his shoulders" @frogman Interesting piece which seems to give undue weight to Old Testament prophecies, Isaiah, over Christ's actual teachings, "My kingdom is not of this world". Also the sermon referred to seems prone to a fair dose of wishful thinking. Fascin... | |
