I experienced the same event once. It was a capacitor and sounded like a firecracker going off. 
CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence?
I've owned both the golden reference and the neutral reference and both in interconnects and speaker cables. IMHO the golden reference is better in all respects. In my system, the major difference is that the golden reference has very good body an...

GEM Dandy Record Cleaner - Has Anyone Tried It ?
Does anybody add a couple of drops of "photoflo" to the rinse water?Photographers add a couple of drops of photoflo to the rinse water of film to minimize the formation of water spots on the film while it dries. 
Joule 150A MKII versus Atma-sphere Preamps
I thought the goal of "balanced" cables was to keep the shield separate from the "-" wire. In many RCA's the shield is connected to the "-" so that the noise collected by the shield may become a part of the amplified signal. Doesn't a "balanced" c... 
Cables Are Crazy, what do you think?
Put a blindfold on him. Play the same thing with a good cable and a bad cable. See if he can tell the difference. 
K&K phono stage
Immedia RPM tt and tonearm and a Lyra Helikon SL. 
K&K any comments?
I have a KandK moving coil setup with a Lyra Helikon sl cartridge. IMHO if you find the KandK to be "creamy", you probably need to look at other components in your system. I feel the KandK can support excellent cartridges. It is timberally accurat... 
PS Audio Power Plant or Power Plant Premier
I have owned both the PPP and the P1000. The PPP is better in every way. A high end store that would tell you otherwise is misleading consumers IMHO. Jeff 
Best value phono $1-1.5k

Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Ralph's advice about no less than 6 ohms and preferably not less than 8 ohms is right.I've tried the Speltz autoformer. Although I really like the speltz cables, I do not recommend the autoformer. I've tried it. I believe it exists as a band-aid f... 
Kharma FE 3.2 - be careful, space crucial
Springbok, I was just curious about whether you tried the suggestion of giving the Kharmas a go in the smaller room? Jeff 
FAL speakers and drivers
I've heard them several times at CES and always felt they had one of the top five rooms. They are made in Japan. Here is a link to their website: http://www.sibatech.co.jp/FAL/FAL%20Top.htmIf they have a us importer, I did not see it on their webs... 
Kharma FE 3.2 - be careful, space crucial
Wow. I just bought a pair and they are crazy good in my setup. My room is about 13'w x 20'l x 9'h.When you say its like being in the foyer, that to me means it sounds muddy and rolled off?Would the subwoofer help to "charge" the room? They don't d...
