| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? The signal passes through so many different types of metals as it passes through your equipment it’s hard to believe that a cable and its content becomes such a debate.

| speaker cable prices I work in an industry where the power cords (150 ft coiled) are too heavy to carry due to weight of the copper wire contained within. We have had to install connectors so they could be removed. ( thieves for copper value). These extension cords ru... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I have owned Denon, then Classe, then Bryston solid state. Not the pinnacle of solid state for sure but then I heard an AR classic 30 and everything changed. Not gone back to solid state. Music has more dimension and tone. Currently own Quicksilve... | |

| Getting into tubes I currently own Quicksilver, Allnic, Unison, LTA and love them all for different reasons. 4 very different amps with tube rolling that sound different again. Welcome to the mania. I like self biasing as breaking in tubes properly is easier. Don’t ... | |
| You cable haters please DO this. I don’t think most audiophiles will argue much about the value of decent cables. You can preach to the nay sayers all you want, it’s wasted breath. I have played with cables a lot the past while and am convinced but still can’t support paying the ... | |
| Can anyone recommend a great tube preamp that also has a headphone out? Linear Tube Audio Micro Zotl. Fantastic headphone amp that happens to make a giant killer of a Pre Amp as well. | |
| Tube or Trasistor I currently run Zu Omen Def. Though a vastly different speaker than the Zu Soul the Zu sound is still there.I also prefer a sound that won’t tear your head off and don’t like picking music to suit my system. Here is what I have found the past two ... | |
