| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... you you don’t have to buy the most expensive cable. Just buy what works for you or stick with the OEM. It’s your choice. I’ve owned several different cables and systems and I’m sure most have on this form. What I do that some may not do is test wh... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Don’t just watch part of the video. Watch it from the beginning to the end. That’s like picking up a book, reading the introduction and coming to a conclusion. It has true value especially when it comes to shielding. I’m sure you wouldn’t use the ... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Before you turn a blind eye and believe power cables are snake oil, do your research and test for yourself and don’t fall in the trap of what other folks opinions about upgrading power cords. The reality is that some do help and others may not. It... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... A lot of what is said is mostly true about not needing a 6k power cord with an exception of a couple of things. This is my take from competing in Car Audio Competition and from speaking to my best friend who works for Entergy as an engineer. The l... | |
| Beryllium Tweets Not sure if anyone on this thread invest in high end car audio along with high end home audio. If I didn’t see you at an IASCA Car Audio Sound Quality Championship (top 20 individuals), I’m sure you didn’t invest that much in that field. I won’t h... | |

| Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore? I will say what most are thinking in the back of their minds. We all think and feel that we know what we want in sound quality but we change are minds all of the time. Hence, why this has continued to grow as a hobby. We spend so much time trying ... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair The Wilson Cubs with the Sound Anchor stands. Incredible sound and great looks. Probably one of the heaviest bookshelf speaker at 75lbs each and 60lbs each for stands. | |
| Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600 I would compare the Cary DMS600 to the Lumin X1 their top of the line unit. The Lumin X1 cost almost twice as much as the Cary unit. The Lumin X1 has a digital sampling rate from 44.1 kHz to 768 kHz. That’s comparable to the Cary DMS600 which has ... | |
| Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600 I had both units and Benzman is correct on several things. I had the Lumin T2 first and sold it and bought the Cary DMS600. Since I was listening to tube amplifiers and a tube preamp, the Cary matched up well with the setup. The AKM sound smoother... | |

| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music The question of the day which I believe George came close to asking you is what system was driving the 804’s when you were listening to them in the store? Also did you ask them to make sure the subwoofer was off when they demo’d the speaker’s? A l... | |
| What to upgrade to? I would upgrade my cartridge to either a Koetsu Onyx ($10K) or a Clearaudio Goldfinger Statement ($16K). To me those are the two best cartridges in the market. You will still have some funds left over for Harbeth 40.2's |
