| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s I really was ready to return them and put the $1000 back on the card, but the change really was noticeable and in a good way. JD | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today @fthompson251, Congratulations on your purchase. I am fascinated by the continuous copper no welds or cramps or solders. I am also curious if there is any isolation? My wires are 8’, AQ Rocket 88’s and have layer after layer of protective coveri... | |
| Audiophiles on Audiogon. We now have a pot and people to stir it. One guy’s opinion posted by another guy. | |
| Question Regarding New Item Damaged in Shipping I just built a second system in the last year and sadly on three items I purchased came goofed up in one way or another, but the dealers all made good. I haven’t met many reputable dealers who doesn’t want happy customers. JD | |

| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? It’s true that a better system can make even the most poorly recorded, mixed, pressed album sound better, but it’s still not going to sound really good, only better. JD | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes It really seems odd that one tube blew on each monoblock at the same time. Assuming the tubes are wired in series, was it the same tube that blew on both? JD | |
| A cable question, sort of... I’m not an electrician, but I played one on TV! Sheesh guys. @kijanki is correct. There is a difference between one wire coiled and two wires coiled. Speaker wire can also be called speaker cable. But as @millercarbon said early on, with low fr... | |
| Acoustic question @grannyring , Thanks for the tip. My speakers are sitting on some polished granite (old countertop) and I’ve put painters tape on the granite with marks every half inch. I’m still adding sound dampening as well. JD | |
