High-Resolution Audio Demystified - Mark Waldrep
Thanks Poker77. That video was a real eye or rather ear opener 
Fremer tours the Audio Technica factory
I am no vinyl guy. But as a subscriber of Stereophile, I sometimes read Fermer's column and thought that he is a "mature" audiophile. But his recent reply on the following article was disgusting at the best:http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/0... 
Clear Day vs. Triode Wire Labs speaker cables
I second the Clear Day cables recommendation. Amazing cables for the money. No experience with Triode Wire Labs. Best thing to do is ask for home demo and compare the cables. The only thing you might have to pay is the return postage, which should... 
Listening chair suggestions
I replaced my existing chair with a CostPlus World Market Kendall chair. Absolutely comfortable and nothing behind the ears to distort the sound. This is in suede fabric. And the color matches my GIK panels as well. 
Looking for IC and speaker cable suggestion
You cannot go wrong with ClearDay ICs or speaker cables. Highly recommended. 
basic passive preamp
What is your amplifier and source? System matching is very important. TVC would be the way to go. What is your budget? 
Recommendations for IC and speaker cable
Clear Day cables for speaker and interconnects. You can’t go wrong with that. Signal Cables is also pretty good. I actually have JW in my second system and they are really nice for the price. My only reservation with JW is that they are pretty sti... 
Speaker cables for paradigm studios
urbanfox,What cables did you order, for doing a comparison?ghosthouse,The ClearDays always bring smile when I listen to music on my system. Listening to "Tea for the Tillerman" SACD (Analogue Productions) and with ALL the CD/SACDs were mastered in... 
I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but
I am saying this specifically for TVC. I have said this many times and will repeat again. You need to make sure that a TVC should have a MATCHING system. You really need to look into the source voltage, amplifier sensitivity, loudspeaker sensitivi...

Speaker cables for paradigm studios
Nutty,I use a TVC in my system. So a good healthy voltage/current flow is always welcome and beneficial. When I switched over to ClearDay cables, I found that I had to go down 2 notches on the volume control, compared to my previous cables. The on... 
Speaker cables for paradigm studios
nutty,Thank You for the kind words. You are going the same route that I did. I also have pictures of the Clear Day interconnects in my system page - both RCA and XLR. You sir, are really going to love what the speaker cables do in your system. My ... 
Speaker cables for paradigm studios
bdp24,You can check out the pictures of Clear Day jumpers in my system. Click on https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/xSrWBvtRQyeAcIt2kJnZ/convert?rotate=exif. Though Paul suggested 2-wire jumpers, I insisted on 4-wire jumpers. He said there would n... 
Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer.
jmcgrogan2/bdp24/infection,Read my post again. I have no issues with even $20k interconnects. But don't call them "giant killer". Their prices are "giants" by themselves. The title of this post is not correct. 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Redbook Keeps Surprising....What is more surprising is that the thread gets hijacked and becomes which "type" of DAC is better - DS or R-2R.I love the CD playback on my simple Teac player or even the good old Oppo 970H. Yes, the Teac sounds better...
