Speaker cable
@zazouswing I would like to see evidence that some contractor actually did that. It is true that over the years there have been different theories AND LAWS regarding what they use for conductor in wiring, but I have never heard of any contractor o... 
ETHERNET CABLES
As far as Speed rating goes I agree with the others here stating anything CAT5e and above is fine, BUT if you look at all of the factors that Audiophiles CALM cause poorer sound quality or interference, I must suggest the Better shielding, and tha... 
Why does rock concert sound suck?
That is one of the biggest reasons I walked away as fast as I could from Rock-n-Roll early on. In the 30s through the 50s we had a lack of high quality electronic equipment to work with then somewhere in the 50s we discovered dedicated sound engin... 
Install A Dedicated AC Line at home
I have mulled this idea over for myself. But also you must look at the lines you intend to run in the NEW circuit. I find it ironic that peoplw wil spend thousands of dollars on 1 meter of power cable and ignore the standard 12 or 14 gage of ordin... 
This place is getting sloooooooweeeerrr......
Speed is NOT my problem, I have 4 browsers and the ONLY one I can use wiht Audiogon's Forum is 'Brave'. One of the others I can't laod the page at all, two of the others I can't log in. It keeps sasying that I am either Not registered or using the... 
Where did you buy your first audio gear?
I purchased a pair of Sennheiser headphones from Listenup (the original store in Denver) about 45 years ago. Soon after that, I got my first turntable from them.  
What is the added value of a streamer over a networked dedicated Computer
Other than the fact that a dedicated streamer can be as good (and expensive) as you might desire, all of the factors are similar. You have one advantage of with a computer you can utilize it for other uses at the same time, but that is a trade-off... 
I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
@holmz Concerning your capacitance question, I might sound like I am on the negative side here but I seriously doubt that 'Capacitance' is the issue. That is unless the effect caused by the floor causes a parallel capacitance which would then modi... 
I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
@Holms Like I say so often. I looked at your link about the car batteries on concrete and I saw a funny thing on the way to the market to buy some pickled pigs feet. Other that an unsubstantiated claim that it is OK to place a battery on concrete,... 
I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
@holmz  That was My intent. Sorry for not going into more detail. I was getting a little long in the tooth and didn't want to drag it out all the way. YES, You take your before and after images with Dirac and compare them. Dirac is VERY detailed a... 
I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
For those who have doubts or just refuse to even consider this, how intelligent is that, I have a couple of ideas you can easily apply (in certain cases) to visualize your speaker's output. The first and easiest way is by using an APP for cell pho... 
Why not?
@roxy54 You make two seemingly contradictive comments in a row. First, you say my comment makes no sense and then you seem to agree with me. I approve of your second comment stating that end users prefer to make their own choices on aftermarket it... 
I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
@ericsch Me thinks you are putting words into my mouth and I'll thank you to keep your paws out of my oral orifice lest I bite you. I am not claiming martyrdom, but only pointing out that there are two types of responses here. The ignorant and tho... 
I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters
It looks like I opened up a lot of eyes if not minds. My original post was to inspire those WHO DO believe or want to take the chance on lifters to have either a DIY or cost-effective option. but when I see all of the bashers in here it really mak... 
Why not?
ROXY54 I the manufacturer isn't an expert in ALL aspects of their equipment, they won't be seeing one red cent of my hard-earned saving.
