| Budget re-cabling OP, I sincerely apologize that the table values were for interconnect cable instead of speaker cables. But the renowned Belden speaker cables 10-12awg (5T00UP / 5000UP) is good performers and used by BJC. The Part Express sells 5T00UP for cheap... | |
| DAC for second system I have not auditioned it personally but Gustard r26 had excellent reviews. Pay due attentions to its performance relative to the new Ares 12th and BF 2/64. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Once you are addicted to a refined, audiophile grade system you built, it is very difficult to go back to a lesser system and listen to music at the same level of satisfaction. There is no point of retiring from a audiophile state of mind. One t... | |
| Apple Music vs. YouTube sound quality YT music has been using AAC up to 128 kbps for the free one and up to 256 kbps for the paid service. I have been extensively listening to YT music for about 2 years and no codec change away from that setting. AAC is in general better than MP3 at... | |
| The problem with PLC No naming calling but the PLC stands for Pierrot the Lonely Clown. Pierrot was seen as a lonely fellow sufferer at the time. The lonely clown plays a funny role here to get attention, recgnition and responses. So far, he seems doing ok. I even ... | |

It's fine with me if you buy a car that gets 10 MPG. What I disagree with is the awe and bragging rights associat... | |
| getting into streaming Wiim mini? Tried that but returned it. Bass is on the light side, as Stereophile also pointed out. User interface is pretty damn good though for such as little device. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Why? Choosing speakers to buy / avoid based on efficiency is like choosing a new car based on a sole factor such as weight or acceleration. I am not sure if I need to tell you it doesn't make sense. ATC drivers/speakers are one of the most inef... | |
| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? Op, Wait for the "Bullet", or "Bully", with dsp and a built-in subwoofer that could go down to 20 Hz, according to GR. Will it be nice?! The woofer that comes with this speaker is a guitar amp driver. Light weight and seems a cheap stuff. Unitl, p... | |

| Fee for home audition So, $625 for an hour's demo at home? Probably setup will take that long. | |
