Why does rock concert sound suck?
I have to agree with many posters here that the Grateful Dead sound very good live. U2 sounds like their recorded music are they compressing their sound on purpose? I have been very fortunate to see allot of live music, for me it is usually the tr... 
Speaker/Room Acoustic Problem
+1 @james633 and @erik_squires Some kind of sound diffuser behind your seating position might also help tame the room mode that is exaggerating your midrange and drowning out treble. If this a small bedroom with a closet setting up with gear si...

Every second 10,000 sine waves are arriving to your ear That is 29,979, 245, 800,000 nanometers in a vacuum If one of the speakers is one inch farther away at 10,000 hz do u realize how ignorant it is to try to put those two signals in-phase?  ...

Garbage in = Garbage out, some speakers are designed to be more accurate(polite) these speakers are heavily influenced by source, amplification, quality of recording, and room they are placed in. Some speakers are just more forgiving making everyt... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
I would recommend picking and purchasing your preamp first but please check local auctions near you for speakers. Depending on where you live there might be a nice set of speakers from a audiophile collector wanting a local sale because he or she ... 
Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae
Nikki Monninger of Silversun Pickups can absolutely run/play circles around Micheal Anthony. Geddy Lee of course plus John Paul Jones, both were also keyboardists coincidentally, and Cliff Burton who was absolutely a stellar bassist before his tra... 
Jelco sa 750e
I would send an email to Steven Huang at Audio Sensibility, he knows about everything there is to know about Jelco’s.  
Jelco sa 750e
Was the Expressimo Audio Jelco end stub hard to install, I really would hate to bend or strip out a perfectly working tonearm? I initially did not think 850 would make huge difference for me, I use a 5.5g high compliance vintage MM Stanton. But i... 
Jelco sa 750e
Jelco's are well made plus very versatile judging by the cart/head-shell combinations people report using that replacing it without making a lateral move is going to be difficult. Osage Audio sells Sorane with recommendation for medium to low comp... 
Jelco sa 750e
OP:  A 750 with a Ammonite mounting collar is perfect for medium to high compliance MM carts and some lighter medium compliance high output MC carts, just use a lighter head shell to dial things in properly.  MC carts that are low compliance and o... 
Turntables that are still made in Japan?
Every Malaysian manufactured TT will be shipped at spec, eventually. But claiming that Malaysia can rival a steadfast Japanese manufacturing process straight out of the gate sounds bit over the top to me.  
Canare 4s11 how good are they ?
Yes, 4S11 is a very good speaker cable, I also admit that when I look at high end mass produced speaker cables I look to see if their size matches a 4S11 with a sleeve. Vandy's really like unterminated cable on their terminal strips but be very c... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
I must agree with many of the previous posters, Signal Cable, Cullen Cable,and Cerious Tech. are all excellent choices. If I was not flush with PCs l would be taking a hard look at Take Five Audio also. 
HDMI vs 7.1-channel analogue outputs
Yes, analog's square wave is much easier to pass thru a metal based signal cable than small packets of digital bits. Might I suggest taking a look at a article entitled "A Deep Dive into HDMI Audio" on Audio Science Review website for a little mor...
