| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Speak for yourself, please. I did. The OP didn't ask "What do 'you' want from a cable?"Just my somewhat sarcastic observation from years of trying, buying and constructing cables, reading cable reviews, reading this forum, and observing cable... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Audiophiles want cables to solve all their perceived system shortcomings and transport them to the perfect anechoic listening room where everything sounds exactly as a live performance.Fortunately, for cable manufacturers, audiophiles are a determ... | |
| Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ? I agree with viridian.Also, you can easily make your own jumpers out of the many bulk speaker cable or hook-up wires available.

| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? Luckily I have and used my Audiodharma Cable Cooker to break in the outletsGreat point lak.

| Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?) If your source has sufficient output voltage, there are a couple of DACs that offer volume control solutions that maybe superior to even properly implemented passives, and may approach the sonic quality of very good active preamps. These are impl... | |
| Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?) Simply having enough voltage is not the whole story.There are so many variables (including listening preferences) that, as others here have pointed out, there really is no one answer.In addition to having enough voltage to drive the amplifier, imp... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It seems this thread has run its course with respect to believers and naysayers, with all the parties planted firmly on one side or the other, except Geoff who has no fuses in his Walkman yet enjoys working the bellows to keep the fire hot. Any a... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? SRV - Blues at SunriseEnjoying my Antipodes DX, which is back after full upgrades, and was reminded all over again how much more fleshed-out and real it sounds compared to my tricked out mac mini. | |
