Raised Towers
I have a pair of older Genesis Genre I in a secondary system.  They are sloped back, which should tip the soundstage up but I always felt the images were lower than natural.  I put them on cinder blocks in my previous apartment and this did improv... 
In search of a touch of darkness
I asked a similar question a while back and was told PAD/ Purist Audio Design cables have a darker sound.  I never tried them so can't comment from experience but you might look into their cables.  
Has anyone used Smart Imports of Japan?
Thanks mwh777!    
Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project
mbolek  &   nationalbar  :  Either of you try the AECO rhodium xlrs?   I do prefer good rhodium plugs to silver ones, at least on power cords.  My experience with up-market xlr plugs is limited.  I do have the Acoustic Revives rhodiums on a pa... 
Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project
mbolek:  Glad to see someone has first-hand experience with the silver AECO xlr plugs.   What are your general impressions, and do you have any other known xlr plugs to compare them to?  Any shortcomings?   Their price makes them attractive option... 
Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project
Ah man, it's hard to get the kind of answer(s) one is looking for here nowadays.   I do appreciate that members do take the time to offer up answers and observations, but I really do question the legitimacy of some of those responses.   I freque... 
Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project
I have the Acoustic Revive xlr plugs on my 6Sons Audio Golden Eagle interconnects.  These are very good interconnects and they do have the extended and detailed top end i'm looking for.  Are these rhodium plated plugs still available for sale?  I ... 
Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project
Years ago, I bought a few hundred feet of vintage wire.   There are 2 bundles inside, each being made of 7 solid core silver plated 18-gauge copper wires.  I've been using it as my speaker cables and I've made almost all my power cords from this w... 
Tube-Curious/Pre-amp
Why not look into hybrid integrated amps?  You could sell or trade your Atoll in.  I had a pair of bridged Pathos Classic One MK III's a few years ago that were quite nice and before that miscellaneous Chinese amps, Xindak and Consonace.  Soundwis... 
AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection
I haven't compared aes/ebu directly to an xlr interconnect but I was using the Acoustic Zen MC2, rca on one end and bnc on the other, and tried using a .5m Moon Audio Silver Dragon (xlr) in its place (between a Red Dragon S500 and Audio Alchemy DD... 
Songs of debauchery and excess
Jazz Devil by Barry Adamson  
Passive subwoofer too loud.
It could just be that the subwoofers are simply more efficient than the satellites so you will get more output from them at the same volume setting on your preamp (?) or other volume control device.   A simple fix would be to add a pair of Rothwel... 
Post binding for crude tone control
bojack---do you know this from personal experimentation?  Perhaps that hot top end is only a matter of synergy and yes, changing cables, plugs, & outlets can solve this issue.  I have gone through this with an overly bright midrange on a pair ... 
Post binding for crude tone control
I've had several sets of speakers which were bi-wire/bi-ampable and my experience is that pretty much all those supplied metal plates connecting the bass and satellite sections of the speaker binding post SUCK.  Even those with a nice shiny gold p... 
Need address to send Paypal credit/Synchrony Bank a demand letter
blisshifi---I ask here because I've gotten contradictory mailing addresses for Synchrony bank.  Looking to sue Paypal credit/Synchrony bank, I found a website specifically for that purpose, How to Sue Synchrony Bank in Small Claims Court - FairSha...
