Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
Those people agree with me 100%. They have decided vanilla and chocolate together is better than vanilla or chocolate. I agree with them. They agree with me.Now would you like sprinkles or nuts? 
Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions
Why do guys say too revealing when what they mean is the top end and transients are hyped? Or is it grainy and edgy? Because the one thing it can't be is too revealing. I mean that is the whole entire goal, to reveal what is on the recording. Reve... 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
rpw-If the mats are not supposed to work on magnets, why are users putting the mats on speaker cabinets which contain magnets on the drivers?  I am trying to find the best spots to place mats on my speakers.Yeah, that’s baloney. The problem is we’... 
Phono to pre cable swap
"Muffled and distant." That sure doesn't sound "fuller and more lifelike to me." How did it sound when compared with Synergistic Research? They all sound fuller and more lifelike. But never muffled and distant. 
Quarantine Project--A Full Range Speaker Kit

Is it a Technics SL1700? 
Can a tube amp be stored in a garage?

Questions about music on YouTube
First, how is the SQ? Sounds great on my laptop.Second, do the artists get a cut when their video/recording is played?Depends. Most artists get promoted and paid just fine. One conservative word or theme will get you demonetized and dropped to the... 
New Amp help/recomendations?
Its not the power. Its the amp. Try a Raven Reflection MkII, you will have no complaints, dynamics, stage, or otherwise. Probably you will have money left over after selling the preamp, IC and power cord you no longer need, and will have no compla... 
How good are $2 DACs?
Why spend even $2? My DAC runs on the cloud. Okay technically its a virus running on your pc and phone. Depending on your OS you may also be paying me btc. I love digital.

What he said. 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
not saying a different result can be had. But different does not mean better.No, different means different. Whenever two things are different one is of necessity better, the other worse. You admit there’s a difference. So what you’re really saying... 
Perfect Path Total Contact no longer?
Just got off the phone with Krissy. So many misconceptions. So many things I can never explain. Just as well. They'd never understand even if I did, eh Frank?
