| 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 ... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? I now have put 53 pounds on each speaker.They are OB on the mids and tweeters. And have a back enclosure for the woofers. So I am able to just put weight on the woofers however I notice increased clarity on all frequencies. Especially tightening ... | |

| Who says cables don't make a difference? Hard to believe the inane rant that this thread has devolved!Can’t believe that people still think that cables don’t make a difference... | |
| 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 ... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? I am using Tetra 606s. It is especially convenient that they are open baffle on the mid and tweeter and have a separate bass cabinet behind. So I am able to put the weight on the back of the speaker. Much nicer than putting weights on the top of a... | |
| Putting weights on speakers? Wow, I actually thought of putting more weight on them.It seems the speaker weight is very significant. Wish I had a dedicated audio room but we both listen and enjoy. I just put on the Mad Max soundtrack and after about 5 minutes Nina ran in from... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Thought I might open up a can of worms.One interesting element is the prejudice factor.When so called audiophiles say things like “smoke and mirrors”, “pseudoscience”, “my $50 cable sounds the same”, they are doing nothing more than professing the... | |
| Magico Mini 2 Many speak very highly of the Raidho 1.2 as well. I like the ribbon tweeter. Am not a Magico fan for the reasons mentioned. 1 + SF Extremas are a legendary speaker. And the three way with the back tweeter are excellent. I also love the SF look. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I think that any component in a system is dedicated and focused on doing the least damage to the signal from the front end. And even the front end is dedicated to capturing the signal and transmitting it as uncolored as possible. The proverbial “s... | |
| Magico Mini 2 Petzzz,I have never heard the Minis but only know them by reputation.I have heard the Fritz Carrara BEs and know them to be extremely musical and relatively easy to drive. That latter point is quite critical.Surely, to get the most out of Minis, y... | |
| Is it really worth it to get a phono stage over $10k Decided on the $6.9k Zesto Deluxe. Seems other than features, it is very similar to the $12k top line one. Love the sound and the look.The cosmetic is unique and the wife likes it... | |
| Magico Mini 2 The Minis are responsible for launching Magico. However understand that they are”minis”. But their multi layered ply enclosures are unique to this day-even among other Magicos. |
