forte 3 crossover build
If you listen to the video, Danny says "If you don't do the crossover do the box upgrade". You'll notice a difference.. I'd start there and see if fixing the box alone makes a lot of difference.. I bet more so than the XO change.. There is peak he... 
Cables for sme 30/2
It will really effect the sound if you dummy it down with the wrong shielding or shielding "at all" if it doesn't need it.. Just like throwing a blanket over the speakers. Just kills the dynamics of the system..Noise sucks, BUT too much of the wro...

That is the purpose of a contact enhancer. To increase the surface area of contact with a material that’s more conductive than the parent material. The reduction of Nano Ark. (George hates this one.)IT may also inhibit corrosion and act as a seala... 
McIntosh MA252 owners, one SMALL problem
The red stand by, turn it all the way off.BUT green, it’s just not Mac.. :-) Macs light up in the "ON" position mute and roll up to the last volume if you have it set that way, or they mute.Besides "green means ON", or "GO" it’s not either. It’s a...

Quality 1 meter RCA Interconnects under $100?
I'll offer this, IF you can get away without shielding do it. I use a weave that works well.  It is VERY dynamic and quiet because of the way it's woven.  What I use takes a while to break in, but when it does, it's a very good cable.  OCC with mi...

I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
My hands and BACK wish they were Gen-X, because the rest of me is a big ol BOOMER.. Other than an occasional Tibetan horn synchro band, I’m pretty open to all age and types of music. The cool thing as long as it was recorded some way, WE or anybod...
