| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @plinko I think the newest Klipsch speakers (Forte, Cornwall, Klipschorn) are far better than their past versions. Good to know.

| What speaker cable for Martin Logan motion series (AMT) tweeter. @bobrock it seems like you’ve already got a good handle on trying different cables and helpful examples so far getting started. I got baited by a good friend 30+ years ago who had a massive supply, and later again with a few dealer friends who let... | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @classicrockfan "I write posts on this forum not for elon musk but for audio enthusiasts who live on a budget more than 90% of us." How do you write about something you've never tested before? Again, it's all just a bunch of babble until you ... | |

| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects To @classicrockfan - as they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. The guy was a telco engineer specializing in transmitting audio over cable. He employées family and locals and they do a fantastic job. Assembly Plant tou... | |
| Trying to decide between Quad S2 and Ascend Sierra 2 EX If you are going to stay with your Rotel integrated, you could get by with the Quad, and its on sale at half the price of the Ascend right now at Music Direct. Both are 8ohms and sensitivity 87/88 db, so if you’re thinking of stepping up on ampli... | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @sdl4 "I’m impressed that you took the time and effort to figure that out. I hope that you continue to enjoy the naturalness and tonal richness that Cardas cables can provide." Agree and it takes patience testing and evaluating the lineup of di... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @silverfoxvtx1800 I choose not to list and advertise my system for my own reasons, a theft years ago in a prior home. Cameras and dogs now, and no workers in the house any more. I keep it all heavy too. Worked at the same factory as Nelson and his... | |

| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp @avanti1960 Cary Audio SLP 98 is the ticket between warm, dynamic and detailed and responds well to tube upgrades, e.g. Sylvania GTA. I can make my Cary SLP-98 preamp sound like four different tube preamps by simply changing the 6SN7 tubes and... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @hickamore estimated 1:106 as per spec in its prior and upgraded form following your math ratio approach. While I'm not near the gear or have a means to measure anything, its a guess at best. Maybe I should restate this. Whatever is in play for ... | |
| Unison Research Max 2 vs Border Patrol Volti Rival Horn Speakers Those Unison Max2 look small in some photos til you notice they have 15" woofers and 101cm / 39.7" tall. 96db kinda fills a nice niche. @kennymacc even if you went with the Unison vs. Volti speakers, you could still run the BoarderPatrol amps ... |
