Thanks Al. I did just read this.....seems we have some cases of electrocution on record. We Aphiles should be aware." In the professional audio and video fields, the cheater plug has been identified as a serious safety problem. Its casual use as a...

If a power cord would have a short to the chassis would'nt that trip a breaker in the home? I think the most cautious of us would say never use them as there is certainly a possibility of shock if all the conditions are aligned perfectly. It is al...

Goodness I have used cheaters my whole 37 years of audio life. Most of us have and it will at least help you understand if it is a ground loop issue. I must be lucky:). I have never, ever heard of any incident in real life to be honest Agoners. Al...

Ya, just like LP's were dead 20 years ago. Keep spinning as many of us will keep spinning.

Ok folks before you read what I am about to post and think I have gone absolutely nuts, keep an open mind. Oh, and don't tell my wife as she will think I have lost my mind.I finally placed my outboard crossover in a nice chassis. I was doing some ...

I forgot to mention again......your the man! I so enjoy looking through and reading your blog. You have me wanting to buy an ANote kit. I look forward to hearing your impressions of the sound.

Rebbi, I have a tip for you if you are willing to be a tad unconventional. This mod will cost you nothing, but will have a very positive impact on the sound of your amp and system. Run the output tranny wires outside the chassis and use the bindin...

I am going to heat my outboard crossover box/enclosure to keep all the components at a nice operating temperature of 100-105 degrees. Much better sound with this modification as they will operate at the temperature they sound the best.Just kidding...

I also found the Vcaps to be very, very fast and detailed. I can see how folks like them. In my set up they did not have enough body and weight. But my system already leaned towards fast and detailed. The CAST are world class caps as I have been o...

Ya, the price of those silver caps would be about as much as the speakers themselves:)

It may be that in an initially "warmer" or more forgiving system the CAST work nicely to deliver the end sound. In an already highly resolved set up the Jupiter caps work nicely. Just my attempt to understand our separate observations Volley.

Volley, I assume you let the Jupiters break in for some 200 hours? They do sound more laid back at first, but open up nicely over time. They are more open sounding with more air than the CAST in my system. Last thing I would ever say is I need to ... 
Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear
I have not, but they are far, far more money. Ya, you have enough going on right now. Looking for speakers? Great fun! Enjoy. 
Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear
John, the IC's are good and for the money a great buy. The speaker cables are the real game changers however. They are the pick of the Amadi litter!You must try these as Phil will work with you on a trial. They are the best I have heard. I think h...
