| Help selecting a power cord. If you can’t instantly hear the difference in a blind test, then you shouldn’t buy it. Unless your system is at really high levels of performance and you are comparing expensive to very expensive power cords... it should be a no brainer. Most of u... | |
| Front speaker placement, trying wider placement. Part of it is the compromises you are willing to make. Most of us want the best possible sound as system owner. So widening the sweet spot will reduce the sweetness of the spot. Having a reflectiveness of a flat screen will confuse the imaging. Wh... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. Looking over your equipment power cords may make a difference, maybe not. I would look in the $300 range... no more. If you spend more, then the money would be better spent on upgrading components. DH Labs on amp Power Plus and Preamp would be a g... | |
| Stratospheric audio gear prices @sj00884. “So if the most expense gear is purchased, is that the best sound possible? ”.Good question. In general the more expensive the higher the potential capability of each component or system within the design goals. Very high end audio is hi... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. You ask good questions. I have had some form of upgraded power cord for so long i forget which is most sensitive but I have recently been doing some upgrades. What is your equipment? You want to be investing in cords that raise the performance lev... | |
| Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system? I was an electrostatic and ribbon speaker fan for decades and spent most of my time and money trying to make them sound better... first massive power, then flesh out the sound to be more natural. But when I would make a change, one genera of music... | |
| Flipping record causing series of loud pops @musicfan2349. +1@jefgerard Try to ignore the folks feeding their own egos, it is ashamed bullying doesn’t stop when you get out of school. | |
| My experience with bi-wiring Thanks for sharing your experience. I have never done any real careful comparisons. What speakers and amp are you using? | |
| Separate Amp for AV receiver What are you not happy with? If you love the sound quality but it doesn’t have enough oomph then maybe an external amp... but cheap anything usually doesn’t sound good. If the overall sound quality is not good... then most likely it is not going t... | |
| XLR Cables for Center Channel Yes. When in home theater mode 85% of the sound comes from the center speaker and most of the dialog. System differences are typically accentuate weight and tone of voices.Silver plated copper is frequently a good choice for relatively inexpensive... | |
| Tidal hifi Absolutely... without question. Although I switched to Qobuz... they have more high Rez titles. But for the price of a CD or album a month you get access to nearly an infinite amount of music much of it in higher than red book CD format. I guess t... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? Well, I admit... I hate it when someone comes up with a new tweak that maters. Let’s say you have a well constructed synergistic $100K system... $2K power cords definitely can highly improve the system sound... a easy choice since $2K added to a ... | |

| Integrated Amp Choices Sounds like a great choice. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the sound after you receive it and it is broken in. | |
| XLR (Balanced) interconnect cable question One of the difficulties in interconnects is predicting the effect on a specific system. Specs don’t really help. It is best to try them. Rent or borrow several brands. You can do this on Line or with a local dealer. Get three or four brands, see w... |
