| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? Want to bet? There are easy experiments to test my assertion. Some links would be useful to post. | |
| Remove Radio Station Background Noise It is either coming in through the TT or the amp/pre. People talk about RF and power conditioner non-stop, but I have never seen it make a difference, but an aesthetic hermit doesn’t get out much. If it is only on the TT, then the shielded cable... | |
| Bob Carver Going Direct. many of his amplifiers catch fire as has been shown here it is something he tries to hide. I had a carver receiver that shot out a huge flame when it blew, I've had a few amps from other manufacturers blow that never shot out flames, ju... | |
| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Seems like it is “putting the cart ahead of the horse”, to use that as a way to choose a speaker. | |
| Do you trust your system? It seems like the way they record the music can have a great impact on weather or not I like a CD or record. I prefer an all enveloping sound rather than pinpointed interments. You are very lucky. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? Try downloading a copy of REW (Room Equalization Wizard), select the Room Simulation tab and enter your room dimensions. You can then move speaker and listening positions in the resulting diagram (you can do more, e.g. change surface absorptions,... | |
| Do you trust your system? I wonder do others get to a point where they are more critical of mastering techniques than something wrong with their equipment? 50/50… for me. A few months ago I listened to an old 80s song and it had a triangle that jumped to a speaker… s... | |

| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? I would steer clear of the eBay jobs. I have been looking at the braided Kimber, as the inductance is low. But I usually use the Magomi 12 or 13 ga stuff which is 4 wire (2 pair) and just put on the ends. I ordered 40 or maybe 50 feet of it, as ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/99dun4/index.html So Duntech and Dunlavy are related/same? My Aussie friend raves about them endlessly. | |
| About users with hidden agendas @mapman @holmz Personally, I am always on the lookout for something new and better. Also to learn something new and useful and share it with others. Technology is always advancing...never stagnant. Its like a treasure hunt but I have had nume... | |
| $100K system build - % breakdown of spend @carlsbad Is that available on audiobook? :-) As a third person reviewer, please let me know how it goes for you Sir. I always view synergy as something more like a synergy of flaws… (where ideally all pre amps would have a standard low ou... | |
