| Telephones for Audiophiles? Audiophile Telephones is an oxymoron since telephones are inherently bad for the sound. Cell phones, land line phones, voice over internet, you name it. | |
| Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s? Not only do the grills rattle and buzz but they block much of the sound. 57s sans grills are much more dynamic, open and natural. Leaving the grills on is OK if you like listening to the radio. | |
| Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s? No guts, no glory. :-)Besides, do you really think the room heater look is art?:-) | |

| How many electrons? The OP was trying to relate the number of electrons at the amplifier output to the current, which is why he included the math for charge per electron and ampere. If one accepts his premise that the number of electrons available at the amp's output... | |
| How many electrons? The drift velocity of electrons in audio cables is about 1 cm/hr. So the real answer is approximately zero. Cheers | |
| Does long hair destroy the soundstage? Excessive ear hair is actually good for the sound, filtering out any of unpleasant lumpy sounds, making the overall listening experience smoother and more engrossing. | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? "For the most part, most cables are just for aesthetics."That's good to know. Thanks for the info.:-) | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Make sure the CD is absolutely level while it is spinning. | |
