| How do I run 2 pairs of tower speakers. The best way depends on what you're trying to achieve. Also depending on their impedance they can be wired in series or in parallel regardless of how many speaker outs the amp has. You just need to pay attention to and avoid too low impedance for ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation I have yet to hear the speaker cable (or power cord, or interconnect) that was system dependent. Every single one I ever tried had exactly the same effect on the sound regardless of where it was used. System dependent only makes sense if people th... | |
| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" $374 for one speaker. Figure half of that is the cabinet. That leaves $187 for 5 drivers and a crossover. Call it $30 per. That's retail. And zero margin. Oh and nothing for binding posts and feet, not to mention shipping carton and packaging.What... | |

Getting cables up off the floor is a big enough improvement I've made stands for all of them, power cords and interconnects as well.

Of course the coral like everything else would grow even faster if CO2 levels were higher. The greatest most diverse expansion of life in the entire history of the pl... | |
| At what price point do I run into diminishing returns on an MC Cartridge? There is no price point. Not for cartridges, not for anything. You can spend a million and have crap, or a thousand and have amazing. From where you are now the next biggest incremental improvement will probably be going from moving to fixed coil.... | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really Yes, that perfectly explains why I play the Mobile Fidelity CD and LP both made from the exact same master by the exact same Mobile Fidelity and everyone hears and no one can believe how much better the record sounds. Because the digital source ma... | |
