| Is computer audio a bust? Anyone planning to "bail on computers" and "go back to CDs" REALLY needs to explore using a dedicated server such as Aries, Aurender, Antipodes, Lumin, etc.... +1! | |
| Anyone familiar with Buggtussel Amygdala speakers and what their worth? They are/were well-regarded transmission line speakers designed by Dr. Kevin Blair here in the Kalamazoo/Portage, Michigan. The design is based on a q-TSAL® (quasi- Thiele/Small Actuated Labyrinth) transmission line. I believe the Amygdala ma... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I have lived with the WE power and speaker cables for awhile now, including switching them in and out of my system and comparing with various other cables I have, so I will share some observations. On the face of things, I wouldn't have expected ... | |
| Furutech speaker cables Go to Furutech's website under products, bulk cables, speaker cables and when you open each individual type of cable, under specifications it will list how many strands and the diameter of each, which you can use to determine the gauge with the ta... | |

I once took apart a well-regarded $600+ power cord and found.......about $25 of hardware parts and wire. I am no longer e... | |

| So how many people are using subwoofers I agree Wolf. I wonder how many have not purchased them because they are not priced high enough. I paid about that for my one SW-12, used.dc, you say, "I can vouch for REG's observations. It KILLS my single V2W"What is your context? Did you he... | |
| USB Cable Play-off I should add, for those interested in buying these, Rob Woodland, the proprietor at Curious cables, provided excellent communication throughout the ordering and shipping process. The cables were shipped via AUS post with tracking and arrived 11 d... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff, I have 4, 10A fast-blow fuses in my big amp. I have a better chance of winning powerball than getting all the directions correct at the same time, and there is no f'in way I am going to sit around and try listening to every permutation. Th... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all This may be why Jeff Day and others using lower powered amplifiers enjoy the 16awg wire while folks like me, with powerful SS amps, enjoy the larger gauge wires.Those who believe in skin effect for speaker cables would say there is a higher likeli... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price slowikpl, I mostly prefer crimping with a hydraulic crimp tool to connect speaker wires to connectors but in the case of the WE wire, I wonder if a good solder joint, which would melt the tin coating, would provide a more direct connection with th... | |
| DIY speaker cables Furutech Fa-a (alpha) or Neotech NES-3002 Goose, you probably mean Furutech FS-alpha, which is a 12awg fine stranded OCC twisted pair and Neotech NES-3002, which is a twisted pair of multiple strands of individually insulated solid core OCC wire in PP insulation, with an aggregate size of... |
