| Silver cables Sonic is right. I've just ordered some silver speaker wires from Tempo Electric and they have the most reasonable prices I've encountered. An 8' pair set me back about $380 which is almost double your limit but considerably less than what others c... | |
| Price Increases 113,100 millionaires in New York alone. Despite the economic situation for us, some are doing just fine and are willing to part with their money for the latest and greatest.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Which component is most responsible? Talk about can-of worms. Pardon me but I'm just finishing a glass of Bonacorsi 2011 Pinot and it's been my experience that most well made components can get you to where you're going but cables are what take you there. The bar has been raised to t... | |
| Magnepan Ribbons and Hearing Loss Elizabeth, You're like a sage with this thread. | |
| Tempo Electric Silver Cables Isochronism and Audioquest4life,Thank you both for the positive feedback: that's all I really needed to hear. I trust both of your perceptions a priori. The silver lining in all of this is the price. I almost went out and bought a wine cellar that... | |
| When does speaker distortion become audible? Sounds like you've got more coherence which can and will afford you both better clarity and tone. You don't have to lose one to get the other. All the best,Nonoise | |
| Audio fuses I recall talking to someone at The Cable Co, and he told me that the HiFi Tuning fuses were better built than the SR fuses but the SR fuses had that "tunneling effect" process (Tesla), or, something like that.I just went for the HiFi Sliver fuses ... | |

| Tone Controls can be so nice. After being fitted for my jacket (they assured me the sleeves are that long and everyone will be wearing them and yes, they do fasten from behind) I've come down to some somewhat definitive conclusions. Chief among them are:1) Now that I'm using t... | |
| Would new speakers---- If a new girlfriend could sing like an angel I wouldn't need audio. | |
| Ideal way to set up the OPPO 105? Hgeifman, that is very nice to know indeed! It makes me wish I got the 105 instead of the 103. Sounds like a very nice way to get into PC audio by at least streaming what the internet has to offer as a way of getting one's feet wet. You made it se... | |
| Problems with Mapleshade cables Tubegroove, No, I haven't had the pleasure of trying the Omegas. They looked tempting. As for speaker ribbon cables I believe Ed Shilling over at Hornshoppe Horns still uses them and back when I had his Horn single drivers, he offered to make me a... | |

| Tone Controls can be so nice. Cdc,In my opening post I stated that the difference I heard was when new. Now when I switch it off and on with the slight bass boost, it's done on the fly while playing and the difference is in the bass. Nothing else is amiss that I can tell but i... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Deeper into the rabbit hole we go.......LIke my experience with my Marantz (forgetting about the tone controls), I remembered that my Tonian Labs Tl-D1s are a semi-open baffle design and that there are three different vent settings on the rear sid... |
