Great multichannel amps do not cut it in stereo
marcimzienski,You are absolutely right. One way to be sure you have the right answer is when its proven in spite of whatever you may want to believe. That is how I can be quite certain you are right, and anyone who thinks home theater gear can eve...

Shunyata Sigma Speaker Cables and Interconnects

Big Data, Big Brother
Buying a burrito at the food truck one time I asked for a receipt to expense it. They used some iPad app for stuff like this. Somehow, the receipt appears on my iPhone. How? I never gave them my phone number. I couldn't think of anything other tha... 
New speakers? No thanks.

Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake
Refund. Or at least return for exchange. Preferably refund. Synergistic probably has half a dozen cheaper better choices. I'm being very conservative here. My personal experience, I was able to sell Audioquest at used prices and buy Synergistic pa... 
Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp?
That last detail is telling. AT has their fans but I am not one. Way too hi-fi sounding with exaggerated detail for me. You just had a huge, major upgrade. I know. Upgraded to the same Herron last year and even from Audio Research PH3-SE it was a ...

Who are some of elite sub woofers?
Thank you all for insight.Budge I'm guessing $1500 but thought about only one?Millercarbon suggested 3-4? That would change budget considerably.No, it doesn't have to be expensive. All the comments so far are people following the old method of usi... 
Who are some of elite sub woofers?
The problem with subs is it is impossible to get uniform, even and powerful deep bass with just one or even two subs. Also they cannot be located symmetrically the way the two main speakers are or you only make the inherent uneven response even wo... 
Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
