| Bad news for audiophiles? There is an upside to all of this: drinking lots of cheap wine will make one's cheap system sound great.All the best,Nonoise | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre I agree with Samhar. I've tried spikes, spike protectors, and different types of wood under my speakers and each set up sounded different. Changing cables made me try it all again to get the sound right. I think the same would go for equipment as ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob,Yes, I read the blog on the cables and glanced at his other postings. Jeff is about as deep into this hobby as anyone can be and is all the better for it. We should all be so lucky. It seems the WE16ga has less strands and of a larger gaug... | |
| I had to share this Counterpoint video circa 1987 It was so much easier back in 1987. We were limited by how many audio salons were available and there was always something in our price range. Back then the audio rags ruled the day and our imaginations. Then that gal darned internet opened our ey... | |

| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? these threads to me are a way of getting away from a really fucked up world for a while...Amen. | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? I would't go as far as to say that speaker design is at it's zenith but there are only so many ways to skin a cat. Progress will always be made but we're in the realm of baby steps, with the biggest advances in magnet and crossover design, due mai... | |
| mapleshade ic's... I have his entry level ICs and liked them for a long time. I was always afraid of the fragile nature of the design but they've held up well. The locking connectors are a bit of a pain but they stay put once you've tightened them. I believe Pierre ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob,Wonderful post. When I first wrote about this Supra wire I only had about 10 hours on it and honestly thought it couldn't get any better. I was told by Lars that I'd be pleasantly surprised at around 80-100 hours and experienced widening o... | |
| Did Redbook get it right? The technology simply had to catch up with the format. Isn't that just about true with all things?All the best,Nonoise | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I think what they were referring to was the act of soldering the exposed bare wire ends, which is known as 'tinning'. It's done to prevent oxidation of the copper. It follows that soldering is just adding another layer of disparate metal(s) betwee... | |

| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Yes, you can skip the terminations and just use the bare ends. Three meter pairs will set you back about $90.00.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Kclone, I understand the aspect of availability and ease of purchase and it's why I hesitated buying from a retailer in England. Considering it's only a 7 day wait for Royal Mail to anywhere in the world (claimed) it might be worth it.Having said ... | |
| Feeling Old Anne Meara passed away. I remember them as a child, watching with my parents and appreciating them at an early age. Comedy, generally speaking, isn't what it used to be but there are those that were influenced by the old ones who, as they make me laugh, use the past as a... |
