| Can anyone explain what a power tube does inside an amplifier, eg kt88. There are hundreds of websites explaining this in dozens of different ways. Google it and find one that suits your mind. | |
| How do I put new banana connector on with other wires showing up after cutting ? that naked wire isn't the right color. but that banana plug is nothing to brag about either. bottom line is speaker wires are one conductor (per color). no shield, no ground. so perhaps a bastard wire was used to make the the cables and an e... | |

| New Duelund hookup wire: DCA10GA Thanks @lollipopguild . that is how I made my cables to go from my external crossovers to my speakers using DCA12 and 16. By vendor you mean you asked Duelund? Jerry | |
| New Duelund hookup wire: DCA10GA Did you twist it, weave it, or parallel it? Jerry | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable Audioquest vodka is exactly what I am using between my Etherregen and my streamer. I run a cinnamon 10M cable from my router to my switch. Both are silver plated. Excellent results. Vodka is only .5M long (or so). I recently swapped the vodka... | |

So I'd say 21st century... | |
| When Will We Learn? As a buyer, you cannot make a seller into a better shipper. I never agree to pay for shipping. If they want $2000 plus $100 shipping, I offer $2100 and they ship it. this eliminates any ambiguity who is responsible for shipping. Until you re... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire 2030p Preamplifier So does this mean you got the amp and like it? | |
| dac and streamer or seperates I think most of the magic is in the DAC. I would spend most of the money on a DAC and go with an entry level streamer. Others here disagree. But I have run a high end DAC with an Allo USBridge Signature DAC with power supply and was very impr... | |
