I don’t think you will ever guess what the H stands for.That's an open ended request for abuse. 
Possible Silver IC's to accompany my Skogrand Marrkarian 421 sp cables?
@farfignygen, I've only gotten as high up the product ladder with some Truth II ICs that were on sale in the specials section and they were a step up from the Ascensions which were a step up from the Silver series. I'd love to hear what Tony and B... 
Possible Silver IC's to accompany my Skogrand Marrkarian 421 sp cables?
I use all silver cabling for my ICs and SCs and it's just for one reason: they sound better. You can save a lot and still go the silver route with Darwin Cables. It's what I use for ICs. I started out with their entry level line and worked my way ... 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?

It sounds like when the signal is broken down into it's constituent parts and analyzed separately is when all the head scratching occurs.You have fields which, by their very definition, don't move. You have waves that are the result of something m...

A transistor radio can sound great if the song moves you but it won't inspire you to pen an ode to the sound. Don't be jealous of someone who can put to pen what he feels in his soul. He's just trying to relate, not impress.All the best,Nonoise

I would like to add, that it is as far as I can understand it and, of course, I can be wrong (I was wrong once in 1964) :) If it were you behind these hairdos, I don't know if I can ever forgive you:https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2014/05/1964... 
What the heck do these terms mean?
I find that to be the case with Sarjan but not his staff writers. He can be quite clever with this word smithing and then too clever by half where he then loses me and I find myself rereading what he wrote.His technical explanations are a joy to r...

Electric current in the cable is a flow of electric charge. Exactly the same amount of electric charge that leaves the source comes back to it. Energy is delivered from source to load by electromagnetic field in between wires. It is called Poyn...
