| This cable game is making my head spin Metals matter not much. Geometry and insulation matter more. It makes more sense to find cables that mate between components than a ’brand’. Power cables are largest cable snake oil category. Chosen for sonics: • 800x subs: heavy duty double ... | |
| Room help @zazouswing +++, but - - - on the rears. @likat - our room is an almost duplicate of yours, including being upstairs with a staircase at one end. I had 8 foot custom bookshelves made that sit outside the speakers which act as diffusers. Blinds o... | |
| Room help Forget WAF. Orientation with the speakers facing the long direction and space behind you is correct. Diffusers are a band-aid. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? but even my almost 40 year old speakers have sounded close to perfect for 3+ decades I'll wager that just replacing the caps would astound you. Nothing fancy, just polypropylene for electrolytics and Mylars [<<--- N A S T Y]. Erse and Day... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? The question was rhetorical 🙄 | |

But do you care? a good big system is almost always better than a good small system provided one has the space to accommodate the system.

| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? the real bug for the ones in particular who don’t have high efficiency speakers If high efficiency speakers are so darned good, why did the industry move away from them? So electronics makers could sell more expensive Power? Methinks not. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? This thread really separates the knowledgeable from the clueless. Who's on first? heating of the components in the crossover will add to compression Heat also alters the XO points and not uniformly between drivers. | |
| Is my power chord going bad? Rearrange the gear. Buy shorter cables. Phono cables should be nowhere near, and should not be able to get near, any power cord. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Don't waste your time. Eutectic bonding - Wikipedia Like all cables, it has a sound. You have to drink the Kool-Aid. | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? The sound quality of the $9k integrated which I currently own actually surpassed the performance of the costlier separates costing up to $15k, which I also own. $ ≠ SQ. For the googolth time, it's a system: Change one thing, change everything. | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? It's a filter. Whether the correct one may be speculative. | |
| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? When I listened to the Sopra, it was love at first sight. I knew it couldn't be the sound. 😏 |
