I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible
People who come to visit and see your speaker cables on risers know that you are a real audiophile.Man, I learn something new here every day.  I thought real audiophiles suspended their cables from fishing line attached to the ceiling - braid fo... 
Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!!
The OP said nothing about "value."He simply identified a product he thought would probably " live up to their (i.e., KLE's) stellar reputation" although he has not tried them.If you want the lowest price option and the best sonic result (i.e., th...

Talk about value, a bucket of steam is the epitome of value compared to a can of steam, and indispensable when serving clams or making froth on a latte

Thanks for the post teo - I was just looking for the definition of "drivel" 
Duelund DCA16GA
Hi joey54,I have been doing this for awhile so have read a lot of information and constructed a variety of cables, some that sound pretty good and others not so much. For information, you can search both this site and over at Audio Asylum in the C... 
Brands that have the least depreciation
All gear depreciates but IME bands with low depreciation have a combination of the following characteristics;1. Well-regarded brand across their model range, for sound quality, build quality, and value (regardless of the price-point)2. Models are ... 
Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!!
I never understood why people pay a bunch of money for jumpers.  There are so many types of high quality wire available in bulk, why not simply attach high quality connectors to 6 to 10-inch pieces of wire and there you go.  Personally, I use a sp... 
AMPLIFIER BLOCKS
You didn't say, but full depth, sanded-in-place, tongue-in-groove, hardwood floors are typically supported on wooden floor joists over a basement or crawl space.  Wood flooring over a wood joist support system is very different from flooring over ... 
"Best" mini-monitor?
Long ago I had a pair of ADS speakers and never (NEVER) wasdisappointed with the sound, whether i was listening to classical, jazz, rock, female vocals, whatever.Me too, ADS L810s, which I stupidly sold a long time ago.  Finally found the same lev... 
Duelund DCA16GA
Just finished a mini shoot-out comparing 3.5M long balanced (XLR) ICs made from Duelund 20 ga wire with ICs of the same length and construction method but made with WE 16 ga wire.  The ICs connect my Metrum Pavane Level 3 DAC with my SMc preamp.Th... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Of course, the difference is you can have mathematical proof and you can prove physical theories. But you cannot have religious proof. Noah might beg to differ.  I'll bet he didn't worry too much about cables, as long as his speakers were waterp... 
Duelund DCA16GA
Has anyone tried the WE 16/14/12/10 GA or the Duelund wire for power cables?  How does it sound? I have made several of these and they sound great.  On my big monoblock amplifiers I use a cross-connected quad run of the WE 10ga to the pos and ne... 
Hypex N core module
@noble100Just the thought of comparing the diminutive Atsah class D monos at 1/4 the weight and size of the pure class A Clayton monos seems like a big mismatch to me reminiscent of David vs Goliath. I suspect you were not very surprised that, in... 
Best tidings to Gonners old and new.
Hello 4yanx, it is good to see you back here. I remember your postings from threads back in the day.  In fact, to refresh, I went back and looked at a couple of them and I read one from about 15 years ago - where you started a thread about McCorma... 
Hypex N core module
Hi noble100, to your statement; I’ve previously requested you describe what these sonic anomalies specifically sound like so I can more easily identify some semblance of one.I can add that for over a year I owned and used in my main system a pa...
