What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
I try not to buy into these post, but OK, here goes. A lot of people saying about lamp/zip cord: well you are certainly free to do what you feel is best for you and your system, and if you want to run .10 cents a foot lamp cord between your severa... 
Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses
As a result of this post I ordered a couple Littelfuse 285 series, their orange ceramic with gold caps. One for my PrimaLuna and 1 for my Innuos Zen mkIII. Hey, its $20, what can it hurt to try. I'll let you know what I hear.  
Purist Audio Venustas vs. Nordost Quattro
@tablejockey wow, I bought it too, hook line and sinker, I didn't even look at the date of the original post until you mentioned it.  
Purist Audio Venustas vs. Nordost Quattro
I don't have experience with Nordost, but I do with Purist Venustas. I just recently replaced a Cardas Clear Cygnus RCA between my Chord Qutest and PrimaLuna EVO 400i and the everything was so much more open. SO much more individual instrument foc... 
Favorite cable brand.

Purist Audio - Venustas Luminist rca
So yesterday I received a new 1m pair of Venustas Luminist RCA from the dealer I have been working with where I bought my Venustas speaker cables from. I immediately plugged them in on my A/V receiver and CD player to burn-in while I was working (... 
Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend
@mingles Awesome! Looks great, nicely done. The 1 1/16 bit did require me to ream the hole out a bit with a sanding cylinder on a drill, but it was a tight fit and I had to tap the pipe through the hole. They are very solid and I love the industri... 
Purist Audio - Venustas Luminist rca
@chayro thanks. I love my Venustas speaker cables. I don’t think my system is dark at all, rather neutral right now. I just didn’t want it to start leaning dark.

I’m running a PrimaLuna EVO 400i with Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII. Source is mostly Innuos Zen mkIII and Chord Qutest. I running a new set of Purist Venustas Luminist Bi-wire (about 250 hours on them now). Thinking of getting an RCA pair of Venustas ... 
PrimaLuna Evo 400 and Kanta No. 2 - which cables??
What is your budget? I am running Purist Audio cables with my PrimaLuna EVO400 and Sonus Faber. 
White Van enjoyment
Wow, a blast from the past. I thought that was just a Pennsylvania thing. @ebm back in the 80's and 90's and maybe longer, I just remember it from my teen years, this white van would drive around with 2 guys trying to sell a pair of speakers. They... 
Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend
@jtampakes I drilled a hole on the underside of the top about have the depth of the top thickness. I use a really small threaded nipple just enough to stick up above the coupling but hold the top down securely. I used liquid nails construction adh...

Choosing new speakers after 20 years
Wow, minimum of 300W. Wow, its amazing then I guess that I did not blow up my B&W's I had for 21 years running them on a measly 150 w Classe Audio amp. Thanks, I'll look for some Bose bookshelf speakers that my Primaluna can handle.  
Choosing new speakers after 20 years
The Primaluna has no problem at all driving the B&W's, in fact I got more bass out of the speakers when I switched from my old Classe Audio separates and went to the Primaluna and SF are more efficient than the B&W. The one dealer I was lo...
