| COAX Cable Recommendations.... need some glitter Just buy the most expensive one you can afford and let the expectation bias run wild. | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... If you've done all that in the space of eight months, why not just enjoy what you have for a while and forget about the need to "improve" anything? | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? The self-important types would say if your system isn't resolving enough (read: expensive enough) you won't be able to hear it. I agree with 2psyop, just enjoy the music. | |
| Snake River Audio Signature and Signature AMps series power cords. This reads like a paid advertisement. Also, info without data is just another opinion and reeks of expectation bias. | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view IMO, anyone with "influencer" in their job title isn't getting any views or listens from me. Peddle your made up BS somewhere else. | |

| Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable Have someone help you do a blind test. Have them connect your current wire to one speaker and the Nordost to the other one and not tell you which is which. Sit in your usual position and play something you’re familiar with and I’ll bet you won’t b... | |
| Are you operating in the correct SPL window for high-fidelity listening? It's hilarious the opinions being presented as facts here. Some volume knobs don't have a start and stop point so "8:30" is meaningless. Then there's the tired snobbery of "less resolving" systems" (read: less expensive). I guess there are those ... | |
| cable recommendation please from router to wall? What about the cable from the junction box to your house? What about the wiring in the modem/router? Probably should change capacitors and other parts too while you're at it. 😐 |
