| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Then I made some cables with 3/8" rods of copper and a lot of the Virtual Dynamics technology, and am in complete amazement at what I got from it. Not worried about the "skin effect" I suppose.Regards, | |

| Rockport's or Magico's Koegz, there was a bit of press (admittedly, not mainstream press) on the Internet for the Rockports after Jeff Fritz selected the Rockport Technologies Arrakis for his article on "The Worlds Best Audio System 2009". http://www.ultraaudio.com/twb... | |

| Covering silver wire for use as a speaker cable How heavy a gauge you need (thus requiring more than one strand of the "very fine silver wire" per leg) surely depends on what amount of resistive loss you can support without an ability to compensate through increased volume. If the amps are very... | |

| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB A great article that was severely flawed by the absence of Gordon Rankin's Asynchronous USB interface. This is what most of us wanted to hear about, and TAS dropped the ball.Regards, | |
