Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables
I tried the Vogue power cord with the rhodium plated connectors and also tried re-terminating to Neotech OCC copper gold-plated connectors. The sound wasn’t pleasing to me in either case. It was a high dose of the freq response of silver on any co...

Speaker Placement and Toe-In
@ghdprentice For what it's worth to you, the arrangements of the OP and my own speakers relative to the listening position isn't actually an equilateral triangle.  If it were, the measurement from listening position to the perpendicular line betwe...

Wish I could join the Hijiri club from seeing the experienced Goners chiming in here, but I’ve been spending all of my hifi funds on electronic component upgrades! Maybe the cable gods will see this post and a windfall shall be in my future. 😄
