| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. Cables definitely make a difference.They don't have to cost $$$ either.Different types of metal,geometries,connectors,and our old friends resistance,capacitance,and induction react uniquely with our components.The only way to know is to try. | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue one speaker match Lol!My brother has some older Cornwall lls and has placed a concrete gargoyle on top of each. | |
| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. At least they don't sound worse,which is great:)You got the length you wanted and solid connectivity.I'm mulling over trying new speaker cables myself,upgradeitis probably:)I like the Clear Days I have now buuuut can I do better......Thanks for po... | |

| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Think about room treatments also.Reflections on hard surfaces and glass will emphasize high frequencies.You can make your own very inexpensively.Experimenting with chair and sofa cushions at first reflection points costs $0.I agree that subwoofers... | |
| Bright or Dim? Music is definitely a better experience in the dark.It helps create the illusion that it's real(not Memorex:) | |

| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? As timo62 mentioned the same ol same ol on the radio is tiresome.But I love the 60s and 70s music from my youth.The best stuff never graced the radio waves | |
| Break in blues @djones51 it's hard to sit back and enjoy when you're hearing a different sonic presentation each day and trying to decide if it stays or goes back.This is the first time I've experienced such radical changes , which I now attribute to a weird rea... | |
| The awakening... Ami I think that's great!I thought I was done with upgrades and was happy with my system as is....until I spent an afternoon listening to my brother's new turntable.Back at home again I couldn't stop thinking about what upgrades or tweaks were nee... | |
