Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
Dave_72 --Though it may not look like much on paper(watt-wise), the Class A poweramp Belles SA-30 is something to sonically behold, and a relative bargain:http://www.powermodules.com/sa-30.htmlIts sound to my ears is "characterized" as extremely c... 
Power cord connectors
Do they matter and if so how much do they matter in the ratio of the cable itself ??...Speaking of the importance of connectors should include the option of their exclusion as well(at least as a principle reminder), insofar this is practical - som... 
solid core interconnect below 500.00pr.-which one
Marqmike --I'm not sure how much of a help my recommendation and its motivation will be to you, but here goes: I'm very much into solid-core wires and believe they have inherent, distinguishable traits(compared to multi-strand alternatives) that s... 
Anti-Cable Power Cables
Schipo --I don't believe it's far off claiming most of the "hifi" cable industry is "a great business with a huge profit margin...," or at least that most manufacturers aspire to it. What seems commendable is how Mr. Speltz with his product is fai... 
Power Cord up to $100?
For well below $100 there can be made many feet and many lengths of DIY power cords in excellent quality. For some years now I've been happily using PC's throughout my entire system comprising 16AWG solid-core copper installation wires, bought at ... 
Everest dd 66000 speakers
05-26-13: Kiddman...I myself have been chastised for using horns, from other manufacturers and customers. So why no negative talk here?...It seems horn speakers in general or (yet) as specialty items are having a more widespread renaissance these ... 
Can I connect DAC directly to amp?
11-05-12: HewEdorr gave a good suggestion, that is if you use Jriver. As I understand it, Jriver (ver. 17 and above) processes digital at 64 bit so if you select the Internal Volume option you can reduce volume as much as you want without any impa... 
Building a Power Strip, any advise?
A bare bones approach to a "power strip," perhaps, but being a DIY-solution in all its simplicity I find it very worthwhile:I use non-shielded, twisted 16AWG solid-core copper installation wires(ground-wire twisted in the opposit direction) as pow... 
Why not horns?
05-15-11: Macrojack...So feel free to sing the praises of your big beautiful speakers if that's your wish. I've been doing so for a couple of years now without any infestation -- just a few insults and a little derision and name calling -- things ... 
Cables more hype than value?
02-17-13: Grannyring...For me simple, well constructed solid core copper cables sound best. No special pureness or anything. Just plain old Teflon coated, solid core copper in various gauges all bundled into a very thick and stiff cable.To my ears... 
Budget-Friendly Interconnects?
NuForce's IC700, if it's still available. I believe an RCA-equipped 1 meter pair retails for ~$200.I use the IC700's in my own system between the poweramp and DAC, where it replaced a DIY solution with Mundorf's teflon insulated 0.5mm Silver/gold ... 
Diamond drivers
Dracule1 --Phusis, the C1.1 are suppose to be significantly more dynamic and more emotionally connecting to the music than the C1. So may have gotten what you're looking for in the C1.1 that C1 was lacking. Roy Gregory have compared both side by s... 
Diamond drivers
Seadogs1 -- Phusis, I understand about dull speakers, which speakers do you think are NOT dull?As in "NOT dull" = real life vitality? None, presumably, and yet; fortunately what mimics real life sonic conditions do not require for an absolute repl... 
Anybody try doubling different cables?
I'm currently using both Mundorf's 1.5mm Silver/gold solid-core round wire(teflon insulated) + DIY Mundorf 2.1sqmm copper foils run parallel in single-wire configuration with my waveguide-based Auto-tech Mummy MkII speakers - and it works brillian... 
Diamond drivers
Off topic, perhaps, but in respons to poster Jwm:I heard all the Raidho speakers at CES 2013 and was not impressed. It is a favorite of Valen's which means hifi sounding and it sure is.I once owned the Raidho C1.0's(w/upgraded Raidho binding posts...
