| What started you on the merry go round? Not really an epiphany, but a long trail to the rabbit hole. When I was young, my parents (dad) listened to a lot of music on this funky system he set up with an HH Scott tube receiver, old Garrard record changer and two large "full spectrum" spea... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables If the Meridian approach was a smashing commercial success, I guess it would be more popular among manufacturers. Market forces, whatever they may be, seem to dictate otherwise. I got a kick out of your analogy with the fashion industry - perhaps ... | |
| Need advise regarding small bookshelf monitor Wharfedale Diamonds 9.1 or 9.2, B&W 686, PSB Alpha, Paradigm Atom, Era Design 4. | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables I am just curious, if multiamplification is such an obvious advantage, why don't I hear more on this site about Meridian speakers? Specific execution by that brand, or not as great in general practice as in theory? Or is it marketing psychology - ... | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? Just received well over 100 LPs from my father's collection ranging from vintage mono from around 1950 to pre-digital early 1980s. Very broad range of stuff. I have only a vague idea what treasures are buried in there, but will get back to you on ... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables HA! No worries, the sub does add a quite a lot to any recording by Missy Elliott. Badonkdonkdonk. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? System 1. Revel Ultima speakers (not Ultima 2) fed by Mark Levinson CDP, pre and amps, in a stereo shop in Santa Barbara, CA. I have heard a lot of other great speakers (e.g. Wilsons, big Magnepans, Quads, etc.) fed by extremely expensive electron... | |

| Low Inductance Cable? Audioquest and I believe Zu do not publish the specs of their cables, so I don't know how you can determine whether or not they are "Low inductance". Kimber publishes specs for all their cables and the 4TC has relatively low inductance and are wel... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables Psacanli, It's OK to criticize, but I don't have to agree. My limited experience is that subwoofers are not embraced by the all members of the audiophile community. Can they enhance bass response and overall system performance? YES. Are they easy ... | |

| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? Here's my point. I have no idea how good the Sonographe player is in question, or after 19 years if it is still operating up to spec. I do know that there have been clear improvements in clocks, filters and DACs used in CDPs since 1988 that all ha... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables Wouldn't multiamplification come with many attendant challenges, including more (but shorter) wires, signal loss and coloring by two or three amplifiers instead of one, signal level matching across several separate frequency bands complicated by p... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables From my very novice perspective, the way I look at this series of articles is that:1) speaker and amp matching for peak performance is difficult at best, and in the home audio world where design standards are loose, a hit or miss affair2) speaker ... |
