Mains Power Cable DIY
I am thinking to construct williewonka's Helix power cable. But one question is on my mind: General question: Doesn't shielding degrade sound quality? It's needed when it's needed but does that mean always? Shielded Twisted pair: Can't the shie... 
Does dose anyone see these speakers in real?
Looks to be a tannoy 8 inch concentric, from their older ceiling speakers as well as studio monitors, System 800, plastic cone. Get a used pair for 500 bucks. Save a few million, what a deal!  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Getting back to the specific Atmasphere amp being discussed. I am not an Audio Engineer so please excuse the possibly foolish question. Why is the power supply not a switch mode? I see a large selection of supposedly well designed, medical grade S...

Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?

Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Collectors drove up the price on GAE. So I hope there will be a black 1200G for normal people :) 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Anyone aware of a black 1200g? I'd like that! 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Like I said, why worry about any of this? Just get a decent used 1200 for the time being, use it until the 1200GR is back in stock, then swap them. You'll make some money in the process since the vitage 1200s are still creeping up in price.What's ...
