Thanks cycles2 for clear comments--" Hard to believe some people on this forum are legitimizing Von Schweikert Audio's "ULTRA Internal Wire Upgrade" for $39,700.  If I owned these speakers I'd be insulted by Von Schwiekert coming up with this int...

Thanks russmaleartist for the mention of the infamous"Sucker of the Year' award. The sad fact is there are shameless people in our industry, who deliberately attempt to use fantastical claims.   Voodooists that have next to no tech skills,hoping ...

Interesting butler. How did you change the fuse on the Sony HAP-Z1ES. What value did you use?

Very interesting davidpritchard. They have their fingers in so many pies. It's bound to be interesting. It appears that graphene is vastly more exciting than diamonds,kevlar,spectra,teflon--as it has qualities that seem to give the potential of it...

Douglas,naturally we expect the best in wiring in great speakers.Would you not expect the ultimate in wiring in a $225,000 speaker? 
Power cord replacement suggestions
Chrisr, don't want to start an argument; however,manufacturers are well aware that there are countless power cords better than the ones they ship with. Power cords as expensive as good equipment can be such,that if used with high enough quality eq...

Mmeysarosh I followed up on your comments and found it very interestinghow the graphene helps tire performance in a number of ways. It could find interesting application in ultra high power dragsters where sidewall wrinkling wastes power. I think ... 
Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ?
Thanks rotarius. As a fellow tinkerer I'll let you know that I do consider the finallook to be important and have decided to use good quality leather,in black (speaker color),as necessary to refine the look. I've already got the leather. I've foun...
