| If a speaker cable added 1 - 2 ohms of resistance would that be? @mike_in_nc @1971gto455ho Agreed 100% Lots of gullible, easily persuaded types eager to spend money in their relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. Plenty of products available with absolutely no technical proof of their claims to improve ... | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question "I just did go to Ness Tone Tube Sales, and right now, if I did my search correctly, all he has is two NOS Mullards @ $199 each." Try emailing him directly, he's quick ro respond. He usually has some GE 5AR4's. | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question Check with Craig Ness of Nesstone Tubes. He has some American made 5AR4’s NOS, ANOS at very reasonable prices. You can by new production for less but you’ll replace them more often. I have a NOS Mullard that will last my lifetime, paid 100 bucks. | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Mrskeptic Said... "Until audiophiles allow or at least accept blind testing, they'll likely never be taken very seriously. " I agree 100% when one is touting and promoting a product that has no specs available to support the marketing claims. I'... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects If you’re handy with a soldering iron consider making your own. A quality cable manufacturer like Mogami offers great options for both speaker and signal cable. A high quality set of cables can be made for much less than the high profit boutique b... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns "As for price, you are not going to get top quality sound from a $500 tt or a $700 dac. $7k for a dac, $10k for a tt/cart/tonearm, now you are getting into good sounding gear." Pay more attention to the quality of engineering and design implement... | |
| Sometimes you have to change you I’ve never felt it was the source music causing me to react differently as that does not change. My system hasn’t changed either. I normally listen at night before going to bed. That being said it is me that changes and causes me to have slightly ... | |
| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? I've been very happy with Mogami cable over the years. I currently bi-wire with their 4con12awg -3104. Its overkill in my particular application as the runs are only 9ft each but it's excellent quality and Performance Audio's per foot pricing beat... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? I live in a summer vacation hot spot where multi million dollar homes with 100k + sports cars and SUV’s are parked in garages. The homes are occupied 2 months of the year and occasional weekends. Thankfully my modest 3 bedroom 2 car garage Cape wi... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? I use the Bifrost 2 fed by uncompressed WAV files and the Euphony OS straight in to my tube amp. I'm very happy with my "budget" system. I listen comfortably without fatigue. "Audiophile" grade components? Not according to the vast majority here b... | |
| GIK alternatives +1 with ATS. I recently ordered a case of panels and a roll of cloth that showed up 4 days later. Good selection, pricing and availability. The in house fabrication offers plenty of custom options as well. Responsive to phone and email no problems. | |
| Mogami - Quad 12 ga. in the house! I've never had any issues purchasing cable and connectors from Performance Audio. Better pricing on the same products, shipped to East Coast within a week. Spend 2 dollars more per foot at your vendor of choice.....makes cents to me. | |
| Mogami - Quad 12 ga. in the house! Performance Audio has Mogami 3104 for 5.11 per ft. I bi-wire with it. Very neutral and high quality. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? +1 with Holmz Mogami is quality cable. I love my homemade speaker and interconnect cables. No need to spend huge money. Much more profit without warranted gain in "audiophile" cables than any other component in your system. Plenty of gullible on... | |
