| RCA interconnects, can I expect 3.5 meter to offer good performance? I wouldn't worry about it 3.5m is not that long really. look at input impedances of your amp and output impedances of the tube pre your looking at as long as they are compatible that length is not that long. Balanced was originally designed for pr... | |
| Power an amp and component with batteries instead of direct outlet power? it would be interesting to use a tesla power pack to run a system. Interesting enough the power wall from tesla is cheaper then PS audios regen power system mmmm ... | |
| Power an amp and component with batteries instead of direct outlet power? Living Voice uses a maga buck battery/inverter system when demoing their Vox Olympians. ok million dollar system but it can be done easily if you know much about batteries and charging cycles. just a few lead acid car batteries could power a syste... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? Wall mount is ideal. that said I had a discussion open a couple months ago and got many ideas. and not one was sorbothane. there is many better solutions out there. google isolation feet. but from what I tested a solid pinpoint on hard surface wor... | |

| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! the bronze 2's are 90db and nominal imp 8 ohms, probably a good fit for your amp. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! Monitor Audio has some very nice entry level stuff in that price range. I’ve heard their line and am very impressed with what you get for the dollar. the bronze 1 and 2’s are surprisingly musical and a sweet spot in the lower range. silvers if you... | |

| Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables 60hz one frequency why do you need to address more. Yes there is noise on the power line and other artifacts but this seems like the marketing side of ps Audio going nuts. I've never got why a few feet of power cable can make any difference with t... | |
| Tube Watts Vs. Soild-State Watts? do you really need that much power with 98db speakers. i'd think a quality built 8-25wc tube amp would be fantastic. I think you'd get more bang for your buck as out put transformers make or break a tube amp (unless you go OTL) and good ones are e... | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is The speakers own magnetic field from the magnet should not effect the internal wire unless that wire is moving. you need a wire moving in a magnetic field to induce a current/voltage with out a moving magnetic field or moving wire in a magnetic fi... | |
