New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120?
I have changed out hundreds of captive ac cords since before the net, and obtained my parts from either HD or Lowes. Now I order everything from the web. As far as a difference ? Absolutely ! Every possible " sound quality " description we all use...

Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
Back when I purchased my Furez bananas, I contacted Furez, told them what I wanted, and purchased directly from them. As mentioned above.......I like the products very much. Those Furutech bananas have " lots of different metals ", for what it's w...

yyz. Watched and listened to the video " Forget Me Not ". Interesting. Go Brooklyn !  
Favorite Preamps without phono section
Just some info...These preamps w/o phono sections are referred to as " line stages ". Cartridges do not output enough voltage to operate at line level. I gave up on preamps a long time ago, as I am strictly passive. Passive works very well for me,... 
Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier
My peak levels approach 100db + and it does not hurt me in any way. My ears check out fine, as I have annual check ups. This is such a very important aspect to music reproduction for me. That is my story......

I recently sold locally a Pass ACA amp I had purchased 2nd hand. With my listening habits being what they are, it did not adequately power my Lascalas.   
Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ...
@ieales has mentioned, those V-FET amplifiers sounded very nice ( I owned a Yam B2 ), and I regret selling it ( it needed an over hall and rebuild, and I did not want to do it at that time ( the v-fets were fine ). I have many regrets of gear I ha... 
Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier
Although I am on a dedicated circuit, I own a particular Hafler designed amp ( Smart Theater Systems TA 242 I acquired from a going out of business movie theater ) that uses a toroidal transformer. When connected through my system, the transformer... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
Not to be my picky self again, but the Advent was a two way speaker and did not have a 3rd driver for those mid frequency bands. I am certain it was the tweeters that crapped out. All good ! BTW, I also played around with stacked Advents, and alth... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
@firberger ...Never a need to apologize. All is good ! I am just " that way ". I am enjoying your posts. As far as memory, I only remember audio related stuff, and as an almost 68 year old, my ears are still working, which is a surprise. Was the t... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
SAE used model numbers, 2600, etc; the GAS brand used names, such as Ampzilla, Aurora, Charlie, to be specific; the same designer James Bongiorno, RIP ( in most cases ), with the amps.  
Cornwall IV speaker placement guidance
BTW....nice room and gear. I am not seeing your listening chair, but based on what I am seeing, you have way too much toe in. Is it possible to grab a computer chair and sit right at the toe in axis they are at now. This will simplify the toe in e...
