The best speaker cables you’ve had
Downsize Audio 3" wide silver/gold foil speaker cables. Followed by their 3" wide 7n copper foil cables.  
Downsize Audio is making cables again!
I just sent a PM your way with his information. He has a lifetime warranty and puts repairs first. Tell him I said hello  
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
Easy... Kinki Studio EX-M1. You would have to spend over five grand to significantly better it. It's only 2400 shipped. Sounds like it should cost 7 Grand

Not to sound pretentious, but I’m here to settle this. This subject is full of snake oil, opinions based on nothing, and outright lies. Max Township on pods and platforms are perfect. Here is why oh, he did not invent any of this technology! The p...

I use tuned Mass damper.. I’ve been using them for 35 years. It’s called heavy sand in different amounts, placed into a baggie, LOL. This would be hilarious to double blind listening test. Springs are amazing! Mass dampers are snake oil. Just put ... 
Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music?
Oh my God, yes! Although only in my teens to 25 yrs old in the 80s, I can still remember sitting on a couch and thinking "The amount of real talent coming out of the woodwork is NOT normal". I didn't even think that deeply then, yet it was undenia...

Best Sounding Speaker Cables?

Best Sounding Speaker Cables?

Lack of popularity of Chord???
Ooh .. and what Melm said above me! I absolutely hate pretty hifi gear. Being in the industry for 20 years, I learned that means serious money! And the insides were often cheap as something costing a 10th. I wish all good audio came in inexpensive... 
Lack of popularity of Chord???
I'm not sure if I'm adding anything, but I was a Chord dealer in the 90s. At that time their advertising stunk. It was all about their skinny and cheap looking cables. We had every cable they made. The ONLY thing they ever sounded good combined wi... 
What speaker has the best tweeter?
There are a couple of great Beryllium tweeters. D3004/6640, TW29-B, D2908-7140, etc ... You have Raal. And more. Yet for me, I will mirror what others have posted. A good AMT just sounds very real to this 40 yr musician veteran's ears. I love some...
