| Audio improvement for OPPO 205 Hi Randy,The mostly overwhelmingly positive reviews of the 105 were critical of leanness in the midrange, a trait shared by most "affordable" digital players. I found this to be true while auditioning a friend’s 105. This is likely attributed to a... | |

| How do you know if your amp is putting out @ Rated Wattage ? Hi abhi,You are worrying about the wrong things. Specs are a mid-fi game and mean little, excepting (if it is a SS amp) what peak current does the amp provide and does it double down as impedance halves? These two things tell the most about the qu... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise Hi narcissus,My experience is that choosing the proper metals is more important than the brand. Rhodium is very detailed in the extreme treble but can be hard sounding in the mid treble unless carefully matched to the rest of the system. I tried ... | |
| Audio improvement for OPPO 205 I cannot argue with any of your points, ricevs, nor do your points argue with mine, excepting possibly someone misconstruing your "Silly Boy" disposition toward my post as condescension toward two SOTA upgrades that are unanimously accepted by est... | |

| Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM Hi tablejockey,AT's upper lines were always among the best MMs IMO. Incredible stylus profiles and ultra-light cantilevers made of beryllium before the EPA helped us out. Enjoy your fine cartridge and don't worry about "what's better". You are alr... | |
| Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM I took it to mean that you were saying that the AT ARTs are the best cartridges in the world. That would be a ludicous statement in many ways, although they may be your favorites. | |
| Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM "The ONLY cart that may better the ART 9 is the ART 7..."Surely you don't really mean that. | |
| Best speaker cables for Thiel CS 3.7 Hi thieliste,I used Straightwire Maestro (first) and Crescendo speaker cables (later) for years with my 5i’s. Very good. Preferred them to the Transparent XL speaker cables due to the great bass slam, but the Transparent cables are very refined, y... | |
| What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ? I made some DIY clones of these pillows many years ago. Sonic impact was (very) minimal.I had great success with building my own floor-to ceiling SEALED bass traps to remedy a mid-bass hump in my room and also 24" X 48" panels to dampen the first ... | |
