Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW
I own his 890 amp, 864 pre-amp, 324 phono and Acute CD player.  Only the Acute remains in the main system.  I heard balanced and single ended using the same cable other than the extra wire.  I heard no difference.  The transformer that creates the...

 Thank you. Bidu Sayao was second only to Elsie Houston (from Brasil) who had a much bigger voice but died (suicide) just before Sayao became a big hit. She was unappreciated in Brasil and had a big following in the U.S. I have to make you a CD of... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
My cable/equipment manufacturer friend does not use any SR products but thoroughly believes in the Blue Fuse. I would guess that the fuse is about equal to a mat on the breaker box. A blue fuse is very important in amplifiers compared to an ordina... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
From experience, cables require different amount of burn-in time.  Some of their materials require different times.  I've found that copper wiring takes much less time than silver wiring to burn-in.  Even my phono-cables took a lot time back in 19... 
What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio?
teo_audio makes it sound as if all old audio gear is S...T.  It isn't despite using magnetic attracted, cheap parts, wiring, casework, etc.  Some great sounding old equipment may not be the highest high end, but damn, they can be ultra musical.  W...

EAR's designer Paravicini states that his equipment has balanced inputs and outputs but that is for convenience and not sound purposes.  His equipment is not designed as balanced throughout. 
Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW
I read it and agree concerning Digital and Headphone cabling.  I also agree with the engineering concepts of using balanced cabling;however, I have found that an overwhelming majority of balanced connections in high end audio are not balanced all ...

Claudia Muzio, whom Maria Callas tried to emulate (but didn't have the vocal ability).  She combined superb musicianship, extraordinary characterizations with gorgeous soprano sound.   
Stillpoints - snake oil?
I have a mix of Stillpoints with more ultra minis than Ultra SS because they sounded better in those locations.  I haven't tried the 5s or 6s under my speakers as I have 185 lbs 5'6" speakers that could easily tip over in a quake (I'm in Los Angel... 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
prof  I have a pair of Legacy Focus (originals) in the main listening room and a pair of their Signature IIIs in the living room.  I have managed to achieve a wide sweet spot only recently.  I aim my speakers so that I can just see the inside side...

Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
My wife insisted on removing the large electrostats from my systems and replace them with speakers with bass and dynamics. For me, I required a speaker that sounded good off-axis, basically good along a 10 foot wide sofa, 13’ from the center betwe... 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
My original Legacy Focus speakers use cheap paper woofers (3 per speaker) and kevlar mid-ranges (2 per speaker).  Legacy upgraded the cones and doubled the magnets in these speakers as Focus HD and SE.  Neither of the two newer speakers sound as m...
