Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE
I have listened to the Red Rose R3's a number of times and I was not that thrilled the first time ( I was in the market for this kind of speaker. Yes I did buy one of the speakers in question ). The second time that I heard them there were connect... 
Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts?
Yes, your baloney sounds more scientifically right than my baloney. I congratulate yourself. But easy is better than complicated! Dale psss. There really is a spiritual world. I know this because music is spiritual. Did you know that? 
Need a quality Y-adapter for bi-amping
When I was at Ambrosia Audio I noticed there was a cup of Kimber KCAG Y-cables. I also know that Harmonic Technology carries them and they also make customs. Audioquest also makes y-cables of each of there interconnects. There is less waste that w... 
Interest in an interconnect
The Cable Company does not run it's lending for free. You pay 5% of the cable value by credit card which they will point towards the particular cable that you buy. If you do not buy a cable from them, you are out that money. And the Cable Company ... 
Help I need some speaker suggestions
I can agree with Ehider, the NHT 3.3's does rather fit your list. As an alternative, you can also get much of the quality and 1/3 the size and weight of the 3.3 with the 2.9 which has great dynamics and it loves power. You just can't give them eno... 
Is Cork Effective in Room Treatment?
Sonex panels are fairly reasonable also. They come in 24in x 60in x 2in panels. I have found them very effective. I cut some of them into 12in. squares and lined the back wall in a checkerboard fashion and also used them for the first reflection p... 
TT opinions please
I went back into vinyl for the past year. I shopped around and ended up with a Project Perspective with a Blue Point Special cartridge. It has a suspended chassis that deals with my hardwood floors. I also invested in a Nitty Gritty 1.5 Si record ... 
Biggest bucks = Satifaction? Hmmmmm...
My speakers were also my farthest reach. But as all others have concurred, it was very much worth it. I was a little dismayed when I brought the boxes into my living room. They were so very small compared to the $3,500. I can't imagine ever gettin... 
Best power cables for Krell?
I am having very good results with a Sonic Horizons Silver Moon. I was initially using a Synergistic A/C Master Reference which is a very good cable. But I tried out a power cable from Sonic Horizons called the Skyline which was one of the first c...

New Audioquest cables vs. Old?
I have ordered a test pair of Caldera's to compare them to my Harmonic Technology Pro 11's. I will post again when I have broken them in and testing is complete. Dale 
Hardwood floors vs Carpet
I had to "throw" down a throw rug ( that why they calls em "throw" rugs ya know ) in between my listening seat and the speakers to calm it down a bit. It kind of defeats the idea of installing a nice hardwood floor but it works. I also added some ...
