Can you give me your speaker suggestions?
I use the Linkwitz LX521.4MG for many years now. If you want "the musicians in your room", this is your best bet, and, for what it delivers, the best value proposition in audio right now. Check out the website and see what people say about this sy... 
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
Answers to your question: here is the link to the site where you can order 5N silver ribbons and wires. The nice thing about this company is that you don't have to buy in bulk. https://www.surepure.com/Silver-Sheet-Foil-Ribbon-Strip-99.999Percen... 
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
On a tangent here: I use neither US-made cables, nor Chinese ones, but make my own. I buy 5N silver wire or ribbon from a foundry in New Jersey for very reasonable costs, and all the other materials that go into a good IC or speaker-connect from t... 
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
An orthogonal comment to what has been said so far: I submit that women have more sensitive hearing, especially in the higher registers (they also have much more sensitive noses and olfactory memory). Most home-audio gear will fail them in this re...

If it's "bloom" you want, Mick's creations are hard to beat. Any music passing through my Grange sounds just "grand" and very intoxicating (same preamp-stage as the Cortese). For two months now I have burned the night oil with this extraordinary i... 
Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction?
Thank you all for the clarification about Atmos. I will stick with 2-channel, I guess.  
Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction?
I currently use a USB cable from Wireworld to feed a re-clocker from Acousence which then feeds my MSB Platinum Signature DAC through AES/EBU. The MSB does not have a Atmos decoder. So, if I understand you correctly, I would have to purchase a ded... 
Apple Music vs. YouTube sound quality
My next listening was "Howlin' Wolf", the London Sessions, a favorite recording of mine. The same thing here with the Red Rooster track: while the Apple Lossless version is superb, the YouTube recording brings home the bacon: Clapton and Steve Win...

Mick just sent me this link to his latest blog post, featuring the Grange with a picture of mine on top (Reimar's White Grange): enjoy the read from the pen of the man himself!

This is the reply I got from Mick today about my balance inquiry: >>> Reimar Theres nothing wrong with the balance, as I said previously, its not a conventional balance control, it only has a very small amount of “shift” compared to a ...

Question to the forum participants. Is your balance knob working? And if so: do you hear a dramatic difference between all-the-way-right and ...-left?

I am a Mac user: Macs do not assign URLs to private images. There must be another way. On FB, I just drag the image into the message window, but here this does not work.    
Supratek Owners Thread
OK, can anyone help me with posting an image of my new GRANGE? I seem to be too dumb (if I click on the image icon, a dialog window opens asking for an URL).

Well it finally came to pass, and I would like to share it with you, who contributed to this thread: my custom White Grange arrived in the first week of November, exactly a year after I had placed the order with Mick: good things will come to the ... 
The revolution has begun!
Talking in the context of an amplifier about a woman who claims to be brought back to life by god holding her hands tells me everything I need to know about this infomercial. Totally weird!
