Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Hey look I may not be a pin boy, but I do think that there are certain aspects of wire construction beyond the fundamental electronic properties that affects how waves of varying frequency propagate along it much like the atmasphere affects propog...

That's OK.  I've lost count by now. 
I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday
OK that would seal it.  No beryllium headphones for me then. :^)

Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better
I think there is a limit to what anyone can hear in total and at any instant we focus on or hear certain things more than others. Then our focus changes over time and we hear what’s there differently with a different focus. Even when nothing at al... 
Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers
Actually ports in ported speakers are perfect examples of why low impedance is harder to drive.     Impedance at port frequencies is always low.  Check any ported speaker impedance curve and see.   After all the port itself has little or no physic... 
Which songs or musical standards have haunted you?
Sacrifice by Elton John totally haunting.   
Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers
Ports in ported designs are always a major factor it seems.

It’s all about the bass, about the bass,. Not the... well it’s also about size and cost actually. The reality is low power tube amp lovers have limited speaker choices at least if bass extension matters. Still good ones out there though if a low p...
