| Audioquest question @andirocks Thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize AQ was doing that at the lower end of their line. 😧 | |
| Audioquest question @bluorion The right interconnect in a pair, has an RCA jack at each end of that right channel cable. The same goes for the left channel cable. There is no narrowing to one cord. Are you perhaps talking about speaker cables not interconnects?I... | |
| Audioquest question @bluorion Huh? I have used many AQ interconnects over the years. What do you mean that they "become one cable"? | |
| Graphene contact enhancer which one is best for the price and improvements As I believe Frank had discussed very early on in the Total Contact thread, it was the medium in which the graphene was suspended, that was a major part of Tim Mrock's R&D.

| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? @audiosaurusrex Yep. The Vandersteens have a truth about them that is difficult for most other brands to match. You just enjoy the music and forget about the gear. | |

Don't know the model, but has, if memory serves,16 output tubes total. He can really open those stats up with that amp! ... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @stringreen +1 Within the last year I sent my Steve McCormack modified DNA-1 back to him for a 20th anniversary upgrade. Steve and the guys at SMc Audio really did an extensive refit on the amp. Steve explained that he has had some deep pocket ... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? Both are not mutually exclusive for me. Improving my system affords me the opportunities to enjoy my music even more than before. I recently went the all silver wire route with my interconnects. That upgrade improved the resolution of the syste... |
