| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment @pindac I agreed with you until your last sentence that negated your previous statements | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I think your ear can train your brain, and your brain can work with your ears to look for more details. But it truly only matters with discerning systems, "anyone" can hear the difference between a bluetooth pill and and car radio. We... | |
| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment @dekay I only planned to meet with the cow by the runway, if Dollar General is on her route, we'll make it work | |
| Trying to decide between Quad S2 and Ascend Sierra 2 EX two very different animals. I would be curious to know how you narrowed down your search to these. | |
| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment I am not an English language wiz but if one already owns it, it implies he could afford it? If I bought a Gulfstream G550 today just to buy fresh milk from Humboldt county, by definition, it must have been affordable to me. (my meaningless post... | |
| speakers and cables thank you @carlsbad2, I am a big fan of Erik but I had a lot of good advice and options so far including yours. Once my coffee kicks in, I will try and compare them. Wiring-wise yours is the least stressful. | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj The short answer is I don’t know. I follow your train of thought and I believe in the shortest path and signal purity too. Electricity is a mystery to me though so I just believe what I read. I think I have a compromised system (a ni... | |

| speakers and cables @mitch2 I was just splitting hairs. My system is very low-fi so I was just making a side note, I have no objections. | |
| speakers and cables @akgwhiz that’s interesting? It would be much easier for because the speakers’ bindings are modern - easy to access. thanks @mashif - that's a good price. (And then I clicked on the 77K speaker cable) | |
| SOS! Suddenly have a high-end turntable, need to upgrade Amp + Speakers @analoguefan thank you! | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I have the same feeling about Y splitters, not very audiophile-ish. But - also cheaper than a box. I have not tried "serializing" subs and speakers. I want the signal to go from my amp directly to the speakers to somehow justify my se... | |
| speakers and cables @mashif my bad - I do have an out from my preamp. I call preamp out from integrated amps - but you are right. So yes, that’s a good suggestion @immatthewj thanks for the clarification. It wasn't your fault, I am easily confused. Your explanati... | |
| speakers and cables thanks @mitch2! |
