| Do Turntables sound better with time? Any audible difference would be minimal but we have ta accept the fact that for a new set up many things would change with use. Bearing, motor, power supply, tonearm cabling, let alone cartridge. Can we isolate any change individually? | |
| Audiophile sound quality from a more "mainstream" company? The usual suspects all build some quality stuff. Yes when the better portion of their audio department can have the freedom and budget to play. Having the capacity and the resources they can still create amazingly good sound also and at better ... | |
| Worth upgrading my cables? Assuming that you have solved, power distribution, speaker positioning, turntable/ cartridge alignment, components support, any room treatment (if needed), then better cables, no matter if silver or copper, will definitely have a positive effect. ... | |
| 13.2, 5.1 and so on. "the best seat in the house" SACD 5.1 done right is great for music. Especially with orchestral, choral, live recordings. Best scenario with 5 floor standing speakers, 3 power amps, 3 preamps. All same. You can skip the sub, but not the cabling, requires accurate set up and t... | |

| How good are the Sony APM speakers ? Usual Sony (we can do it and then do something else) and because they were expensive to manufacture. I do not know and cannot guess failure rate. Anyway, they discovered that a flat and rigid square diaphragm drove in at least 4 points was the be... | |

| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper Why is my feeling that cable geometry, quality and treatment of wire, insulation and sheath materials matter the most. Also i would prefer to use solid core in a tubed system with horns and stranded on everything else. OCC, CCC, DUCC wires are def... | |
| Is there anything better than live recordings? I much prefer studio rock recordings to most live ones. Much depends on engineer, group, as many times they set up microphones and sound only relying on soundcheck without putting into account, the audience, microphones moving from original pos... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? @erik_squires , I have not been in the US or any of your great shows but i have attended once the Munich show and was shocked as well. So many ideas from many small unknown brands make you dizzy. Hope to visit again some time. Same feeling ha... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Do we lack better international gear coverage? For sure this is much better now, nothing to do with living into middle ages back then. Was the paper better than internet? No, but sometimes has its charms. Other than that it is nice to see that... |
