| Marantz 2325 speaker cables dill: No Chinese speaker cables? So, China can build nuclear weapons, be the first to land on the dark side of the moon, lead the US in 37 out of 44 technologies including nanoscale materials, but can’t make a decent speaker cable? Hmm... | |
| Marantz 2325 speaker cables nandoe67 OP Just add solder to the stripped ends! You can get a basic soldering iron and solder for $10-$20! If you haven't soldered before, the learning process is as easy as a few tries on a practice piece of wire. | |
| Adcom pre amp versus Van Alstine Personally, I'd go with the Adcom over the AVA, but wouldn't buy neither due to the lack of balanced inputs. Something to consider... | |
| Marantz 2325 speaker cables Why would you want to use pin connectors? Screwing down the speaker wire directly to the posts will give you a better connection at the speaker end. On the receiver end you can just connect the other end of a stripped speaker wire. I'd look for ... | |

| Do dormant cables need "RE" Broken In? If so how long can they sit dormant? Not an exact answer to your question but interesting, nonetheless. BREAK IN: REAL OR IMAGINED? | Galen Carol Audio | Galen Carol Audio (gcaudio.com) | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil As we age it seems more and more difficult to feel that excitement and anticipation as Christmas approaches. It's nice when something "makes your day". Congratulations! | |

| Are AYON Amps popular in the high end community? I’ve been in this hobby since the early 80’s and had not heard of them, but I am not much into tubes other than for preamps and guitar amps. They just don’t have that low end power that I enjoy, not to mention the inconvenience of the maintenance.... | |
