| Another Fedex problem... I too have had good luck with FedEx although I tend to use UPS. However, I understand the frustration of those who have bad experiences. I agree with @ghdprentice about contacting FedEx. Also, I believe you can set up a free personal account th... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @curiousjim Ok, here goes: How can a fuse have an audible influence on the signal, when the signal does not even pass through it? I don’t believe that a fuse does have an audible influence on an audio signal, for the reasons presented in my ... | |

| Audio / Stereo Rack I have always been able to order exactly what I wanted directly from Sound Anchors. It appears they have dealer networks now but they also still take direct orders. I have done special orders with them where I provided the dimensions so I sugges... | |
| How serious are you? I am not sure what defines "serious," or whether you are asking about the music or about home audio reproduction specifically, but in terms of dollars invested and system optimization, most would probably say I am at least a little serious. From ... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often Many of the better speaker designer/manufacturers have been at it for quite a while. In most cases, it is not their first rodeo. They learn stuff along the way and use their cumulative knowledge to create something special. Those who have been ... | |
| Duelund speaker cable gauge for my system? @ghdprentice +1 I agree. Solving that problem with wire changes sounds like chasing your tail. BTW, I have a wide variety of speaker, interconnect, and power cables made from both Duelund and old stock Western Electric tinned copper wire. The ... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? @sbayne It comes down to personal style and preference, we all have our own personal operating code that works for each of us - it doesn’t need to be one size fits all. | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? It is a matter of personal style and preference. I almost always respond, either stating my current price expectation or to simply say “no.” However, I certainly understand why others choose not to respond to low offers.
