| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? I find it amazing, and sad, that just because a seller’s listing price doesn’t conform to some preconceived expectation then their ethics and sense of fairness is considered suspect. An ethical issue would be misrepresenting the condition or some... | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? Define "stupid." Who cares what price a seller lists their item for? Their price, their business. If you don’t like the price, counter-offer with your price or move on. | |
| Vibration isolation or absorption? The chair is sweet! Did you ever try putting it on points? | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN Thank you for coming up with the survey. To the results, I was a little surprised at how many are multiple generations in, like upgrading the upgrade, and at how few have DIY’ed. | |
| Vibration isolation or absorption? Craps sake Elliott, a whole $12.95! You are going to send Robert off the edge! | |
| Vibration isolation or absorption? I tried to warn you guys, arguing is futile, so it is best to just... Believe It or Not. Robert, I have been here a long time (since 99) and I have watched you verbosely try and convince others that your science and products are the clear winne... | |
| Tidal class-action I still don’t understand, why did you wait until MQA “declared bankruptcy” before bringing this injustice to light if it has been going on all this time? | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? @esarhaddon -all good @tubeguy76 - the post by @stager2 is true, CAT cable can be used to make really good sounding speaker cables. Here is an older articles explaining one alternative but there are easier methods, I have no idea which would so... | |
| ONE MINUTE Premium Power Cable Survey Don't be silly, it took me one minute. The results should be interesting - thanks for taking the time. | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? @esarhaddon I get it, and no slight was intended, at all. Cardas makes good wire. I was just pointing out the promotional rhetoric in their document that ignored the “poly” dielectric yet referred to the cotton filler as the dielectric, since m... | |
| ONE MINUTE Premium Power Cable Survey @waytoomuchstuff Early survey responders did not see these questions. Sorry about that. If you list those two questions here, the few of us early responders could message you our answers | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? It appears the marketing department has hacked into the engineering department’s technical text once again! That Cardas 101 discussed by @esarhaddon does indeed look pretty good but I do find the write-up interesting in that they call the cotton ... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? The problem with bananas, RCAs, and AC outlets has always been the need for a spring type elastic resistance, which copper is not very good at because it is a softer metal that deforms upon repeated loadings (i.e., plugging in and unplugging). T... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? Ok then, nice set-up. I did ICs with the previously linked 16awg Jupiter wire, and with Duelund 20awg, both have nice tone and are pretty good overall but are bettered IMO by my Furutech u-p2.1 ICs. For SCs, with 100wpc, and depending on the len... | |
| If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire? Interesting that you went from discussing speaker cables to interconnects, with no mention of what you are planning to connect with these cables. If you are interested in tinned copper wire, you might also take a look at this wire from a well-reg... |
