| Lack of Female Representation Facebook. Talk about wasting time. Yes and no - user dependent. Could make the same argument about Audiogon. In her case, family is emotionally close but physically all over the country, sharing pictures, new babies, planning trips and vacations... | |
| What's the best plating material for interconnects plugs ? @williewonka +1Great advice given.My only add would be to mention a couple of brand names such as Vampire Wire that used direct gold plating over copper and their upper Xhadow line that used direct silver plating over copper. Unfortunately, Sound... | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s I certainly watching either of two Panasonic plasma televisions over the 4K Samsung LED and I think about it sort of like the old tubes vs. SS discussion, with the plasma TVs being more believable/lifelike to watch even if giving up a little in re... | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? I run my two subs out of the single-ended (rca) outputs from my buffer, and feed my main amps from the balanced outputs. To the subs, I run longer rca cables into Jensen PI-RX transformers and then very short XLR cables from the transformers to th... | |
| Keeping backup equipment? I have stuff I haven't gotten around to selling. Just realized I have basically another system worth of electronics that I should sell - server, preamp, monos, and dac. I also have an extra set of speakers I will probably keep. I recommend you ... | |

| So done with audiophile fuses A fuse, according to the manual, is just there as a safety device and shouldn't have any effect on the sound. And yet it did.That, of course, is the perplexing part. While I don't Know and won’t say that fuses have no effect whatsoever on the sou... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses They weren't necessarily engineers at Yamaha but "sound tuning guys" who reportedly believed they heard a difference between different basic (non-audiophile) fuses, when they were auditioning OEM sources for fuses in their AV receivers. While tha... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Hey...let's all get into the "audiophile fuse" business. Sounds like a winner - fire up the paint shop before all the good colors are taken! | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Put a Samsung 4K in the workout room 2 years ago and it is fine - works great with Zwift. Still like my two Panasonic Plasmas the best. | |
| So done with audiophile fuses Perhaps you should have tried the Beeswax variety?Those don’t blow, but they buzz. | |
