| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? Whether the Para 6 is better largely depends on the connected equipment. It may track better, but that's only a small part of the perceived sound.'Better sounding resistors'? In whose estimation and in what context? Higher precision will improve t... | |
| Has anyone compared old to new Audioquest Cables??? Cables are specific to systems. Too many listeners vote with their wallet.Depending on the connected equipment any cable change may be better, worse or no different.FYI, I once auditioned [stupid names forgotten] $6k & $12k AQ cables in an B&a... | |

| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality Mr Rubin, I was power conditioning in the 70s.I have a power conditioner. I chose it from 4.When I moved and changed amplifiers, it made no difference as the amp has excellent filtering capability and my local power is not LA DWP garbage. It’s now... | |
| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality A bigger issue is fast transient signals that exceed the short term capabilities of your amps power supply. This voltage drop in milliseconds adds audible distortion, particularly in a premium system. The combination of a high-quality power condi... | |
| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality What are your thoughts on Speaker cables or interconnects? Larger diameter cables are better so 2/0 welding wire should be great to use, but they sound like crud. So what is it then? Large diameter cables with the same geometry lower R &a... | |
