Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
There is no way that speaker cables need a burn in. Anyone who says that they do is out of their mind. All that a conductor does is allow a current path from point A to point B. The distance between the negative and positive conductors and th...

HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
Audiogon - With a set of speakers on sale  you never have heard for $100,000 I would think sales are slow.  Bring out the weird Tuba speakers and see how much $$$ you can get for them.  50K, $1,000,000  I love high end Audio but there comes a poin...

Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
What does a power cord do?  Delivers power.  Rather than invest a bunch of money on an over priced power cord. Your money would be better spent on a line power conditioner from APC or tripplite. Class D has an RF power supply like used on computer... 
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
I would recommend to start with the source.  Though Speakers very in sound reproduction, dept, sound field, presents, bass, clarity and maximum power you will not have great sound without the clean Pre-amp / Power Amp.  It sounds like you had very... 
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
Anthem 225 looks great!  30,000mfd reserve capaitance in the heafty power supply. Toroidal transformer, quality throughout and great specs and reviews. 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Just curious,  Why Speakers in such a high price range?  Price does not always mean better sound.  I can appreciate you can afford it.  Sony even makes speakers in that price range.  There are a range of wonderful sounding speakers before exceedin... 
Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes?
Power is relative.  My wife has a Mini Audio system. Cheap,Cheap!  For what it is a $300.00 complete 10 CD changer, Radio, and 6" small bookshelf speakers.  It is rated at 100W RMS/ channel. the unit will get very loud, however it has no balls.  I... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Why would core power technology be any better than a 2400w Tripp Lite power conditioner?  DC current will not pass through an isolation transformer.  This device also monitors and adjusts for low voltage down to 89V and over voltage up to 149v.  I... 
Really satisfied???
You have a system I could only dream of having.  Several things I have learned.1. Some people are never satisied. They want a different system because they have much money and this is a hobby. Why not?  It may be they just want a change in sound. ... 
Is there any danger in leaving a class D amp on unattended for ten days?
I would not leave electronics ’on’ unattended without power condtioning. Who knows what might happen if the power goes out. High frequecy noise spikes could damage your system becaue it is digital not unlike a computer. A legacy power amp would be... 
New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix?
1. Another person mentioned a break in period for the speakers.Correct! Very, very, important. Pound them with bass within reason to loosen the woofers. Just play it all day at low volume all day for the tweets and mid for a weekAnd I bet they wil... 
Musician vs. audiophile
If you do not like the sound of McIntosh and Martin Logan then you are in the minority.  I loved them when hearing a demo.  As a musician your wife has tuned ears.  I am the same.  Not only the music but the accuracy of instruments sounding as liv... 
Annoying sounds from cars at stop light
I agree with the person with the buzzing trunk lid. Anyone that would turn up the bass loud enough to buzz the back trunk lid like a passive radiator has a mental issue. (Compensating for something?)  These situations can be heard almost a block a...
