| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Sabai, Your statement doesn't surprise me as I'm sure this whole thing is very system dependent. In my system I hear very little difference but if I had it all to do over again I'd probably go the rhodium route because of the increased durability.... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors I'm not sure Czarivey. For sure the whole subject is extremely subjective (no pun intended). As mentioned, I don't perceive much difference between rhodium and gold.The differences I described I attributed to the opinions of others (practicing to ... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Popular opinion is that rhodium plating is neutral to cool while gold is slightly on the warmer side. I've installed rhodium and gold plated Furutech outlets as well as Furutech AC power cable terminations with both platings. If the described diff... | |
| Neotech cables Yes, being able to choose both cable and terminations is a real attraction for me. It allows experimentation, plus you get a little more involved in the process. I could see where some might consider this a hassle but I've enjoyed it.BTW: My NES-3... | |
| Neotech cables Using Neotech NES-3001 speaker cables in bi-wire configuation terminated with Furutech spades by Sonic Craft where I purchased the bulk cable. Very nice.Also Neotech NEP-3001, NEP-3002, NEP-3200 power cables all DIY with Furutech AC terminations. ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audiolabyrinth, You can find the 10M's but paying for them is another matter. $1000 or more for a pair is definitely getting up there especially if they're a little tired. | |
| My New Large Advents Back in the day I had four of these stacked tweeter to tweeter. If I turned them up too loud they'd knock the needle out of the groove. They'll blow that foam apart if you're not careful. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Starting the night with The Jayhawks - Smile. Don't know where I'll end up. | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio I've owned both versions of the Alpha DAC. I preferred the DAC1 by a small margin over the DAC2 for it's slam factor. The DAC2 was bit kinder and gentler. At the DAC1's used price it could be considered a bargain. | |

| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" What do pedophilia and audio have in common? Absolutely nothing! Pedophilia is a crime and should be. Audio is not related to pedophilia in any possible way except in Ken Rockwell's ridiculously stupid choice for an analogy. |
