recommended speaker cables and interconnects
..Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables..a giant killer   
High Fidelity Cables?
..lots of $100K ICs?  Really?  Please name a few.  My point is that the HFC fanboys have missed the fact that Rick Schultz has moved into the exorbitant pricing strata too.  The $100K ICs are a joke as are his “power conditioning” offerings at $50... 
Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables
..I’ve owned the Fldeliums for a couple of months now having replaced another pr of Verbatim ribbons.  There has been a definite improvement in resolution and the bass may be a bit tighter.  Someone in an above post asked if the extremely thin rib... 
High Fidelity Cables?
..some who are bemoaning the greed of Ansuz (sp) for their outrageous pricing are forgetting that their buddy Rick Shultz was offering a pr of ICs for $100K…yep $100K.  I saw them on his website which is now closed but trust me it was there.    
An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality
..dare I post this?…yeah why not.  I’m a retired EE that didn’t listen to the podcast nor did I read all the predictable pro/anti responses.  First let me say that this whole cable brouhaha isn’t life or death any more than the logic behind car pu... 
About users with hidden agendas
..well I ashamedly admit to having waded thru the muck of comments re Ted’s original post and fear my IQ has dropped a few points.  Ted’s company SR makes all sorts of interesting products that will either improve sonics or not…but one thing is ce...

Von Schweikert speakers..
..I’ve resurrected this ancient thread re VSA speakers.  My good friend Albert passed away the Spring of 2020..I miss him.  Now that his son Damon is at the helm he and chief designer Leif Swanson have come up with the ULTRA line and it’s most imp... 
Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank

Forte FP1
night and day difference...ok but which is the night and which is the day? I have a pristine FP1 I've owned for nearly 15 years and am more than a little curious just how good it is...thanks. 
VR-5 Anniversary VS Sasha
I own the VR5 Annies and don't agree with your comment regarding the fit and finish. I find it quite beautiful and the VSA sound is much less fatiguing that ANY Wilson I have heard to date (WP7&8, Sasha and Sophia). The metal tweeter makes my ... 
Is McIntosh a stepping stone into HI/FI?
I've found that MAC electronics match up with any speaker you can throw at them. Other amps having higher resolution?...that's what everyone seems to say but the many A/B comparisons I have witnessed hasn't proven that. You can spend more for sure... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I'd have to say Barack Obama.. 
Audio Art Cable SC-5SE Speaker Cable
I would be remiss if I didn't mention Scott Warren from Texas way. Scott is the MIT dealer who sent me the loaner MAs. I purchased two pairs of MIT XLRs from him last year and was afforded an attractive discount plus a generous return policy. Scot... 
Speaker cabinet construction..
Shadorne,Being a retired EE and putzing around with this hobby for over 40 years, no one is more skeptical than I am....trust me...so believe me when I tell you that Albert Von Schweikert, the "mad scientist", would NEVER put form above function. ...
