Any cable delivers more bass than Cardas Golden Reference?
Why not just get an equalizer and adjust to desired response? 
Help with crossover capacitors
this Just one caution: how hard do you drive your speakers? The 300R, 12 watt resistor may get hot when used hard, in place of a 15 watt. Have you considered doubling up in parallel? I would be sure to meet or exceed all voltage and power specs, ... 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
Maybe the manufactures could reveal some method (measurements or something) that could identify counterfeits. 
iPhone to USB input in the car...
I have an HK system and think the SD Card or USB with 320 VBR MP3 sounds as good as the system speakers & amps are going to do.If you want better you are probably going to have to put a whole system in. 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
Interesting that there are digital cables that can add a "1" here and a "0" there to give warmer sound and higher resolution. Need to invest. Not just adding a "1" here and a "0" there, adding them exactly where they are needed. 
Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated
A friend whose judgment I trust has recommended a pair of the 350s for my Magnepan 20.7s and I'm very tempted but I do wish there was something between the price level of the 275 stereo and 350 monos.  It would be great if the 275 stereo could b... 
Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components

The Science of Cables
 I will try this as soon as I get another two y connectors (already have two). IC's will be AQ Silver Extremes. First test will be between CD player and preamp.How long of an interconnect do you need. My interconnect between CD an Pre is less then... 
The Science of Cables
"AES/EBU is an analogue output." Confused about this as well. 
Cabinet Cooling
Another option, with speed control. 10dB at lowest speed https://www.amazon.com/Receiver-amplifier-cooling-thermoswitch-multi-speed/dp/B0106LT6B6  
Your favourite Rush albums?
Another vote for Moving Pictures.I graduated High School in '81 and this was one of the first concerts that I went to.Then the first three, in order of release.Even though Hemispheres doesn't make favorite album list, Trees is up there in favorite... 
Really bad sounding power cables ?
I wouldn't call it a problem. I would call it an investigation born out of curiosity.My original, god know what it went to, black power cable and this new one sound pretty much the same to me. I mean, I could be pushed into believing it was more l... 
Update on Paul Laudati of Clear Day Cable
Was not familiar with Paul or Clear Day Cables, however my prayers and best wishes go out to his family and friends.Sixty is too young. From the photo you posted, it looks like he enjoyed the outdoors and kept up (at least to some extent) with phy... 
Doing the Power Cord Thing
How about eliminating the plug, and just put in a junction box.
