What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ?
Lack of fun deco on the front wall. 
About to purchase the Kef LS50W speaker want opinions about set up....
I am appalled every time I walk there too.  I am not really supportive of that. 
14/4 wire for speakers- good idea? Bad idea?
why 14/4 would be a bad idea? Don’t they self-immune against external magnetic fields and produce low inductance, not too mention low resistance? Starquads are just fine. Many designers are using this geometry - Canare, Mogami, audioquest come to ... 
Interconnect Length
@goheelz  yes ! - that's what I was thinking.  I don't know how to elevate the tv; I Know I do not want to mount on the wall.  Maybe I can place it under a stack of hockey pucks right under the "feet"... All I need is 5inch of clearance.. I just h... 
Interconnect Length
THanks for helping - I don't even know what cartdrige I would use - I have not touched nor consider getting a turntable since I am 14 years old... I am out of the loop. All I know is that I would use RCAs into my integrated, and I would place the ... 
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me?
Old conversation, but I am just listening to the album "Cheek to Cheek".So I like the songs, the duo is very interesting, with Lady Gaga, modern pop singer, joining old school Tony Bennett.But the recording is so bad... my god.  It sounds loud, wi... 
SACD vs. Blu-Ray for audio quality/sonics
My understanding is that DSD is the best choice for recording and storing, at least as good or better than analog.However, it has to be converted into PCM for mastering, and then back to dsd for pressing the sacd..As I understand it, there's not o... 
About to purchase the Kef LS50W speaker want opinions about set up....
Just got the ls50 passive...wonderful little speaker indeed.  I also have experience with active, dynaudio bm5a, and what i didn't like about it in the long run is that i felt they were under-powered, and i wished i could have driven them differen... 
Low Inductance Speaker Cables
Wow.  Thanks so much for this explanation! 
Current recording engineers - what cables used?
#1 thing to not ignore is low resistance, especially with low impedance speakers and/or those that drop low.  In other words, high-copper quality and heavy-gauge (at least 13awg) is in order.#2 ? 
Black Friday steals
Kef ls50. 
Current recording engineers - what cables used?
Thank you Shadorne. 
Current recording engineers - what cables used?
They found out that cables are critical... But these differences were found on very long lengths, right? Not 5ft of interconnects or 10ft speaker wires? 
Mixing speaker cables on bi-wired speakers
Sounds like an unnecessary headache too me.
