| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy PS I am listening to "The Magnificent Steinway" by Hyperion Knight on an FIM CD. I've never heard a piano sound more like the real thing and that is saying something as I have great vinyl of Nojima's recordings with Reference Recordings and Wils... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy It's good to hear acknowledgement of conductor quality's contribution to superior signal transference and hence to the sound quality of an audio system. The other two big factors would be dielectric quality and implementation along with connector... | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection Interesting hook-up method! I guess what you're doing is trading off the benefit to your system amplifier not having to reproduce deep bass to the main speakers in favor of eliminating any signal degradation to the main speakers by avoiding a cro... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? Loved the MF2300 SS amp except for lack of bass impact and tautness. the 2500 improved the bass considerably.Wish I had a cj dealer nearby to hear their current offerings. | |

| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? As zavato mentions, cj does have that "Golden Sound" to match up with their golden faceplates. My guess would be that a cj tube pre matched with a cj tubed amp may in some systems be a bit too much of that golden glow. | |
| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? randy-11 has it right. I would only add that paying attention to the conductor and dielectric quality as well as connectors on the cables can/do make a discernible difference.One surprise for me was when I got my Vandersteen Treo CT speakers with... | |
