TRL Marantz Sa-14

Huge sound stage
Newbee- Well, your knowledge base is quite advanced on these elements. I have kind of learned along the way by trial and error.I have worked fairly dilgently on speaker placement with respect to the listening triangle, toe in, height, coupling to ...

"In a properly set up system (including speakers) the only sounds you should hear outside of your speakers (on the same plane as your speakers) should be 'out of phase sounds'."I might respectfully disagree with this. I think very good drivers/twe...

Where to find quality "stock" power cords
The Volex cords are the essentially the same stock ones used in the Crump design (14 ga) and they are quite good. I still use them on my Pro Audio gear.Actually if we were not all insane-they are likely all one needs.Stick a Pass and Seymour plug ... 
Enrico Rava fans-what music do you suggest?
Thanks for the very thoughtful answers guys.Yes, ECM is a special label. The mastering on Easy Living is breathtaking at times. The spatial cues and the emotion conveyed is very involving.I really love the piano player, Stefano Bollani.He is a lyr... 
New cd player-- or should I get SACD?

Silver vs Copper cables
OK, Ok....I am just as deranged as everybody else here in searching for that Holy Grail of an IC for my specific system (only I have kind of a modest budget).I have a pair of Reality Cables copper IC's on the way to try out for use between my TRL ... 
Silver vs Copper cables
"In my opinion about all you can say concerning this subject is that silver is a better conductor than copper all things being equal."Yet, there is significant debate as to whether this quality of being a better conductor necessarily correlates (o... 
Silver vs Copper cables
This will be good.I think I will make some popcorn and grab a beer and watch this thread. :)Cables are witchcraft. Period.Silver, Copper, Palladium, Carbon. Thin wire, thick wire.Ceramic connectors, plastic connectors, plated connectors, solid con...
