Cerious Technologies cables don't respond
Did you call, or email him?  I've spoken to him a couple times on the phone.  
How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio?
IMO, it could be that when playing the SACD version, there is more actual musical information there, versus the CD layer, which must then be accurately reproduced and revealed by the amplification chain. The effect of any distortion or lack of dyn... 
Warm-up time for amps and preamps
Well, maybe it's all in my head, instead of my ears, but it seems like my Kell FPB 400cx "comes in" after it's been on all day.  That's when I really think it sounds great. 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
And Legacy now has the Focus XD with active bass for less $ than the Aeris.  That is the one I have my eye on. And I think it will also be offered with the Wavelet room correction unit. Word is that, with the room correction, you can get it to 80 ...

Just call them up.  I had to follow up on mine.  Just hooked the speaker cables up today, pretty impressed.  
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
OK, I just hooked up my new 9' set of GE speaker cables to my Legacy Audio Signature II speakers.  I previously had them bi-wired with Morrow Audio SP-2 on the high frequency terminals and thick, stranded Esoteric Audio cables on the LF terminals.... 
Audioquest Carbon HDMI cable
OK, well, I finally bought an Audioquest Carbon HDMI cable to put this to the test myself, i.e., whether or not there would be a difference in picture or sound quality versus a basic high speed cable.  So, my first test was to just replace the bas... 
Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response
Eh, I wouldn't fool with the 926.  Although Focal claims -3dB at 45Hz, sometimes these companies are a bit optimistic.  Also, with the room open to the other room, that is a lot of air to pressurize.  And you also lose a bass driver with the 926.  
Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass?
Uber, I found out that my room has what is called a "bass null" at pretty much the only place I can put the sofa.  When I stand at the back or sides of the room, the bass goes really deep and strong, but not when seated on the sofa.  It has to do ... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
I sure hope I enjoy them too.  My current speaker cables don't really sound bad, actually, so the GEs will need to be significantly better to be able to justify the money.  It's just that I'm getting the bug for new speakers, but I first want to b...

@lak Thanks!  Because the terminals on my amp do not accept bananas, my set will have spades for the amp end, and bananas on the speaker end, so they can only run one way.    
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
My set of GE speaker cables are on the way!  My question to current owners is if I should expect there to be a break in period, during which the sound may not be good.  Or do they sound good right away?  Bob says they are not directional, but has ... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Heard from Bob today on my set of GE speaker cables, and all is good.  Looking forward to comparing to my current cables.  
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Yeah, as he requested in a phone conversation, I emailed Bob on Nov. 10 about getting the order form for a set of speaker cables, but have not heard back.  I know he's very busy, will call him back.  
Original RtR Legacy -1 (information needed) verses PSB Stratus Gold
I don't think you'll find much info here on Agon on the Legacy speakers going back that far.  I'd suggest calling Legacy and see if they can help you with any info.
