Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane
myself, I had WW Platinum Electra series 7 and compared it to Audioquest Thunder. In my system the Thunder was a cleaner sounding PC that enabled more detail. Not night and day difference,  but easily discernible in my system. The aforementioned e... 
Recommend speakers for a large living room
The VR55 speakers were in one of the best systems I've ever heard. If I had the money I would build a system around them.

Contuzzi, Are you a dealer? How many post have you made praising Paradigm? Send a PM if you feel the need to attack individuals because you don’t like what they post. 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
After talking to Jeff Rowland via email today I decided to continue to use the low-level input of my RELs with RCA cables. My only question now is how much of a difference subwoofer cables make? I'm going to call my local dealer for a home auditio...

daveyf,You are correct my Signal cable has the red and yellow cables together and each cable has a Speakon end at the sub and a red/yellow connector and a black connector ( at the amp end).

Al,I’m assuming if the Signal Cable is picking up EMI from something nearby to cause the hum, adding an external ground screw on my amplifier won’t eliminate the hum?Silly me the hum is being caused from the REL not being grounded. When I connect ... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
I've already sent Rowland an email requesting the cost of adding an external ground screw. Hopefully they will respond tomorrow and I will ship my amplifier to them before the end of the week.

daveyf,You do realize that the .1/LFE and low-level inputs are different? Although I didn't use .1/LFE I thought it was understood I wasn't referring to the low-level input. Since you won't listen to me, I have attached emails that I received dire...

Al,Is there a logical reason why when both subs are connected through the high-level input with the REL supplied speakon cable no hum is audible,  but when  I use the Signal speakon cables the hum is clearly audible?  This is with no RCA cable  co...

davefy,"I did notice that Richard turned down the low level connection...BUT I believe that the connection to the low level bypasses the connection to the high level once the RCA ic is connected to the preamp/sub. Since he had sound, I would suspe...

davefy,If you read my post dated 9-21-2019, "I have been corresponding with Justin Magana who is REL’s Chief Engineer. Based on his advice I twisted the red and yellow wires together and connected my REL via the high-level input. The black wire is...

Update from my last couple of posts. I haven't sold my Signal cable, so I decided to try the high-level input again. The last time I did, I had a RCA cable going from both RELs LFE(volume turned all the way down) to the preamp out, while connectin...

verdantaudio,The Audiogon community would benefit greatly if more of us responded with the knowledge and responsibility that you display with your posts. You answered the question by describing differences without degrading either speaker or anyon... 
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio
I'm not anti anything in audio. I have as much a right to post my opinion as you do. I'll count how many positive post you have about personas compared to my negative post about them. I think we both know how the numbers will look. I don't trash a... 
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio
There are several that have found every Persona, Magico, Wilson, etc thread and said they're the best thing since slice bread. Are they unethical also? An opinion that's different from yours or mine doesn't mean it's unethical.
