| Quality of recording while evaluating speakers What is this??? "Rocket Science??? Just go out and find a recording that meets your standards and use it to audition the speakers!!! | |
| Deals Gone Bad Ebay has always been shaky. Audiogon and US Audiomart has never failed me. | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? @emergingsoul Come on buddy!!! This is one that you'll just have to go figure out for yourself. Who in the world can answer all these personal preference questions for you? You'll just have to get up off your rump and do the legwork, research... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? Do cables make an audible difference? Why, of course they do. However, whether or not cables make a difference, like all things high end audio, is solely dependent upon the ears of the individual audiophile, and no one else. What the hell do I ... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? If you can't hear the difference in cables then you're just flat out hearing impaired!!! Heck, even an entry level high end audio system will reveal the differences in cabling. This is not Chinese Arithmetic!!! | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Funny, after all the Borresen hype (they do sound quite good, IMHO) Not one Borresen model made Stereophile's Recommended Components list. | |
| Basically happy, but… Go with Audioquest Thunderbird XLR interconnects, and thank me later!!! The Audioquest Thunderbird is certainly not cheap, but could be your last interconnect purchase. They're that insanely good. | |

| Recommendations for speaker cables Any of the JPS Labs Superconductor speaker cables will absolutely blow you away. I've been using JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables for about 15 years, which are the only component or cable that has remained in my home since then. | |
| Be Careful With UPS! Your 1st "HUGE" mistake was to not ensure that the package was shipped "Signature Required." Especially when dealing with scammer latent ebay. When you ship a package signature required, for example, even if UPS shows up at the wrong address with ... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality Well, a different DAC would change the sound, but so would a different ethernet cable, or a different digital cable, or different interconnects and power cables. Everything makes a difference and will change the sound to varying degrees. All you... | |
| Small Discrepancies in Speaker Placement Well, that 1/2" made a difference to you and your spouse in your own listening room. So.................................. | |
| Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina @sidvee My room is almost exactly the same dimensions as yours. My room has no treatments none whatsoever as it’s carpeted, extremely little to no echo, enclosed, and pretty well damped on it’s own. I feel extremely fortunate as I have Revel Salon... | |
| Do your ears deceive you? Here we go again. The question of whether cables make a difference or not. If you're a person that, after all these years, still don't believe that cables make a difference, fine. You just go ahead and stick with your bulk, Monster, speaker cab... |
