| Phone to receiver, or streamer? Its very difficult to improve upon the sound quality from a receiver. Particularly when using such a high-resolution source. It is after all digital. Hard to imagine how it could get any better for any amount of money. | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Well, there went my morning! ;) Seriously, a very good read that explains a lot of what I have heard from different cables. | |
| Mark Levinson HF-2.5C speaker wire 141 feet of 14 ga wire, wondering about sound quality. Good one. "mark levinson" snicker. Good one. | |

Phono stage to pre-amp, unless you’ve made some a very questionable choice in pre-amps then any combination will work just fine. So you can... | |
| Story problem I'm in Redmond. Mike is about a half an hour away in the mountains outside North Bend. The guys showed up literally as I was writing the post. We had a nice few hours here then we all drove up to Mike's. | |
| Oppression within the speaker industry and how it can be stopped? Anyone else imagining kenjit with rainbow hair, a bullhorn, and covered with a "THE END OF THE BUTTERWORTH CROSSOVER IS COMING!" placard?Word to the wise, crinkle the tinfoil first, it makes for a more fashionable fedora. | |
