Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Again, this thread is like a bunch of like minded guys sitting around the local bar discussing a common interest.  Every once in a while "someone" has a little too much amber liquid and gets out of hand. Once sobered up, we all hope "he" comes bac... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Actually, and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there were two problems, the smallest was that the results were not measurable, but the largest was that it is not possible for an object not in the music signal path to imp... 
Disaster
rvpiano, just wondering how the soot got within the lp covers and cd cases? 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi Frank,Thank you for that very clear explanation.  I have often read about your new music discoveries and your love of music does come through your posts.  On your and Charles' suggestion I have gone to utube and watched/listened to a number of ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Not directed towards anyone, just a general comment.I'm still old school and believe that when someone has the need to repeatedly (emphasized) change interconnects, speaker cables, power cables, fuses, power outlets, power supplies, etc. its not r... 
Connecting Speaker Cables to Dynaco ST-70
Mesch, not to worry, I had looked at the pictures showing them and came to my erroneous conclusion all on my own.  Very happy to see they exist and I will be ordering them when I get home.George

H DeKay,Now I see what you are referring to.  I will be purchasing them.Thanks,George 
Connecting Speaker Cables to Dynaco ST-70
Thanks to all for your comments.  After making some changes to my system I again used electric tape to ensure that the spades are not touching anything but the proper tap.  I was just hoping to not have to apply the tape to my amp again to cover t... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
213runnin, I do agree with your other points.  The only thing that I meant to bring up is that for a lot of our gear, while it is very expensive, we can look inside and see from the build quality some of the reasons why.But for the cables, who kno... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Geoff, you are trying to be persuasive by making your argument implying that 100 times this or that might be meaningful, and not explaining that 100 times a tiny fraction of 1% is still not a material number, is it not so? 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Geoff stuttered:most high end wire is 99.9999 pure. Do the math. That’s more than 100 times purer than 99.95% pure copper. Hel-looLet say the high end wire was 100% pure.  The monoprice wire at 99.95% pure is 5 one hundredths of a percent purer.  ... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Ok Geoff, I was being lazy and didn't bother to look up the specs, here you go, costing $15:Choice™ Series 12AWG Oxygen-Free Pure Bare Copper Speaker Wire, 50ft.  Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare... 
Recommendations for spade lugs for 14 ga conductor?
Correct me if I am wrong, but the 4S11 is not just 14 gauge, each wire is 14 gauge X 4.Assume you will be cross connecting two wires as mitch points out above and connecting the two in one spade.  
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Ok, here is another way to look at it.  I am a certified public accountant, in fact one who is about to retire, which is to say I deal in numbers ad nauseam.  I can tell you that every manufacturer has a cost of his goods manufactured, which with ... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
213runnin, I am not an attorney, but I would respectfully disagree that selling a $50 cable for $5,000 and saying it is one of the worlds best would be running afoul of any consumer laws.  There will always be someone who purchased the cable who w...
