| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Both. Good equipment costs money, but you have to end up with a sound you like and are comfortable with. That takes experience, at least enough where you can be honest with yourself. | |
| When you can't unhear ! I've had a few of those kinds of experiences, but there are 2 that spring to mind: First was an audition of an Esoteric SACD player. Whoah. So THAT'S what a high-end player sounds like. Bought it. The second was when I tried a SR fuse in my prea... | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers @pindac, I really enjoy my EP speakers (I think they're the 2.8's with 2X 15" Carbon woofers, a 12" Carbon mid and a concentric tweeter, upgraded wiring and stock external crossovers). My only complaint would be the tweeter could be a little smoo... | |
| Tekton Open Baffle Speakers I looked at the new OB's from Tekton on their site. I just don't see $7k there. I have no idea how they sound, but that's a lot for what it looks like it is. I'm not dumping on them, but (as a case in point) I bought a used pair of TOTL Emerald ... | |

| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house I own and rent cottages in one of the most inhospitable temperature-wise places in the US. Temps regularly hit -20F in the winter. I also own a house (that I occupy) on the property. I have left lots of equipment out in the barn over the winter.... | |

| Just compared Monster M2.2 and ZU Mission speaker cables Use whatever sounds best to you. Brand name is irrelevant. Trust your ears. | |
| Another fuse tweak @antigrunge2 , thanks! | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. @scottwheel , 99% of your posts are complete garbage. Sure, you're free to post here, but imo, the damage is done, and your posts are pretty generally ignored, except by the few that continue to put up with your sealioning. Get a life. | |
| Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips? My tip: Start with the best gear you can possibly afford and go from there. More expensive doesn't always mean better, but inexpensive usually means junk. Tip#2: Trust your ears, not what some fool on the internet with a multimeter says. | |
| Another fuse tweak What is a "quartz disc"? Just like a wafer of quartz? I've never tried it, but certainly could. How much could a quartz disc cost? Probably only a couple of bucks.... |
