| Who says cables don't make a difference? “Continue to beat the drum... why?” To paraphrase. It is, obviously, a controversy. The prejudice surely goes both ways. However, those who are opposed to expensive cables ignore the fact that cables are an established part of our Industry. A dire... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? @kennycThank you for coming back to the subject of the OP.And, especially, for your clear enumeration of the factors that must be considered in cable design. Certainly each different type of component always has distinct and important factors that... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines It has been pointed out that the Keith Monk RCM is used by Better-Records and no one can question the cleanliness of their records.Their current model similar to the Better-Records one is $3750.It is not ultrasonic but must be good. Anyone know ho... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? If my fault that my OP comments about company owners and others who made/make their living on being able to hear differences between components helped to devolve this otherwise civil Forum discussion into personal mud slinging, I am sorry.Surely m... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? It seems the crux of the cable issue stems from the comparisons of the likes of zip lamp chord and high fidelity cable. If zip chord works why spend a lot of money on “snake oil”?!And why not just get some silver wire and RCAs and build your own I... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Dan2956 and speedbump6,Interesting 2 sides of the discussion both quite elaborate.I don’t feel the need to apologize for my bias toward expensive cables with a personal preference for Stealth Audio.As with ANY component, the goal is to DO NO HARM ... | |

| Who says cables don't make a difference? I love Grocho quotes!"Saw an elephant in my pajamas yesterday. What he was doing in my pajamas I'll never know."Specifically, having to show proof after experiencing/seeing G-d.I miswrote when I mentioned "overwhelming objective proof". I really r... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? Hi millercarbon,Thanks for the thoughtful post.The original design of the Tetra 606 had exactly what you suggest with struts going from the speaker top to the bass cabinet.I admire your deep knowledge and application in your posts and, certainly, ... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? Just discovered a 8.75 lb vest plate at Rougefittness.comthey are sold in pairs and are black. $56 a pair. I am buying 4 pair for $225. Considering my speakers are $33k, not a big deal. So, would increase the weight from 20 lbs to 36 lbs and have ... | |
