| Speakers or Turntable upgrade Speakers will almost always make a more noticable difference than anything else in a system. With your budget, there are many options especially if you buy used . Happy hunting. | |
| AA for us The thing that I've found helpful is stop reading message boards where people talk about how great component x is or speaker y is. Secondly, be comfortable with your system and not be looking for the next thing to "upgrade." Lastly, when people te... | |
| Unplated copper spades/banana On the conductivity scale, copper and gold are very similar and you won't hear an actual difference with the only useful testing (blind) but bare copper will tarnish and need to be cleaned periodically. | |
| Transparent Audio power cords Why are the gen 5 and gen 6 a "step up" other than in price? By the way, power cords make no objective difference. | |
| Digital Reclockers are they worth the extra Effort - IMO YES Why is it anything a reputable manufacturer makes seems to improve the sound despite nothing changing (except more money in their pockets)? | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? Considering some people believe a digital signal can sound better or worse depending on a cable or "connection" material, it wouldn't be surprising to find that some of them would believe their system could improve the sound of a poorly recorded s... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. My system sounds great as is so why would I want to spend more money to prove what I already know? | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs You won't make any difference, much less a "vast" difference just by using even the most expensive cables ( which is how almost everything is judged, by price). Expectation bias is real. | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison Seems like a lot of effort and money spent on things that make no objective difference. | |
| New speakers for a new start? I would look at the GoldenEar line. They have a variety of options in a good price range. I've been very happy with the Triton 2+ | |
| Thanks to the Moderators I once made a very mild joke related to a product many of us have seen and would understand and it was removed. Are the moderators based in the South? | |
| First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects P. T. Barnum is rolling over in his grave. | |
| Recommended power cords for Quicksilver V-4 mono Whatever makes you happy (but there's no objective difference in any cable whether power, interconnect, or speaker). | |
| Do different speaker stands can really make a big sound improvement? Speaker stands make less difference than cables and those make ZERO difference. Do the math (your bank account is debited with no sonic benefit doesn't sound wise to me). | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? Price is absolutely not indicative of quality, especially with wires of any kind. Also, they don't make any objective difference regardless of what people think they "hear." |
