Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables
After a certain price point any benefit is miniscule. Your equipment would have to be incredibly sensitive to tiny changes. I would choose something from that brand at half of that price to audition. IME there are very audible differences in speak... 
How can I find out more about Zu Audio Omen Def Supreme
I have the regular Zu Omen Defs and there's another member that has a pair but I can't for the life of me remember his name right now :-( I'm no reviewer but I can tell you a little bit about them. They are very clean and clear sounding.Very detai... 
Great service from HSU Research
Good to know! I have two newer HSUs myself.  
Something on top of a speaker=okay?
Only the Grateful Bear stuffies for my speakers. Robert Plant and Joan Baez:-)  
Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair
They would look right at home in a large ultra modern home along with unual sculptures and paintingsI'm curious how they sound. I agree with kingsluey lol!  
ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements.
Sugar in coffee!!!😉Gaah!Some measurements are useful to me and have helped me avoid mismatches when considering an upgrade. But most of us know or have learned from past mistakes that putting together components simply because they measure well on... 
Turn down the Volume!
It also depends on the source material. I turn the particular music up until the dynamics and balance between instruments feels correct and engaging. Too low becomes like muzak.  
Why did my amp just crash and burn ?
Yes the fuses are generic. Your manual should have the Info on the fuse value. Be sure you find out if you need slow blow or fast blow.  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
You're getting lots of views so the less intrepid tube geeks(me) wait to see how they work for you all over time before pulling the trigger:-) I need to try them now after following this thread.Right now the SS amp is in service for the summer, bu... 
Oh Boy Schiit Announces 10 Tube Headphone Amp for $1799.00
I guess this is why “Folkvangr is completely bonkers,” Jason Stoddard, Schiit’s co-founder and head of analog development, said. “There’s no other way to put it. There’s no reason for a 10-tube amp that dissipates 100 watts at idle, to produce o... 
Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit
I'm no expert by any means but 85-90 dbs is awfully loud for a tiny desktop loudspeaker to be playing at full range without a sub to cross over to. The other loudspeaker he used for comparison was the orange to his apple. That's my very amateurish... 
Hot Rats
Yes! When I was very young I loved his quirky lyrics. Later on became amazed by the writing and arrangements.  
Celestion Ditton 66’s. ‘Upgrade’ to modern speakers consequences?
If you like that British sound signature try to audition  some modern speakers along the same lines - Harbeth, Monitor, Tannoy. I actually have a pair of Ditton 100s in the guest room that I like very much.  
Sharing my experience with cables
@sparkymaui  OCC single crystal is a method of manufacturing. The metal is drawn in very long smooth strands with no breaks and fewer imperfections. A crude example would be a long strand of silk vs a strand of twine.  
SVS sub owners, Past and Present
@rocray if you go to the Amroc site and put in your room dimensions it shows you what frequencies your room modes are. Then you can set the equalizer exactly where you need it to correct them.It's so easy to dial it in perfectly instead of incessa...
