Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
geoffkait,"opined" ... Lol. In case you may not have noticed, I was quoting ozzy in my post so you'll have to deal with him -- if you dare. In case you may not have noticed, nowhere in my post did I say "placement only" ... but misquoting is one o...

Toolbox149,Some of my resonators are also very heavy and find their way to the floor from time to time. I always keep extra Blu Tack handy. 
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
I agree with ozzy who says that "placement experimentation is the key." I am using 8 different kinds of DIY resonators in my system based on the HFT idea, with at least one more to come. I have also designed a unique resonator in 3 sizes, not base... 
A Different Solution for Cables
The Mogami ICs will not do justice to your amps, IMO. I would try a Cerious or Shunyata product, if I were you. If you experiment with series cabling you may get even better results.

alanholvey,I never had success with wiring my speakers in series, so I find this really interesting. It shows how much can be accomplished in different systems using series wiring.

firedrums,And a cable with other characteristics besides frequency.bdp24,I have not seen this video of Paul's. I have not been able to find it yet. Do you have a link?. Paul's company makes some great products. I have his DS DAC and PerfectWave tr...

schubert,What kind of switching are you referring to? I have never used ZU cables. What kinds of things happen when you use them in series? 
A Different Solution for Cables
gnostalgick,One way to find out is to reverse the wires and listen for significant changes in SQ. 
A Different Solution for Cables
gshepardbuster,I would only be using cryo-ed connectors. I have found that non-cryo-ed connectors can degrade SQ.

bdp24,I would be interested in knowing what results you get. But in my experience there are XLRs out there that will give much better results than Mogami. 
A Different Solution for Cables
bdp24,I have experienced something similar with sound stage being constricted and harmonics disappearing. That kind of piggy-back does not last long in my system. As I say, this takes a lot of trial and error. Have you actually experimented with s... 
A Different Solution for Cables
kclone,This means attaching one PC or interconnect to another before plugging the ends into components. With PCs this means using a burn-in adapter to make the connection. I use only cryo-ed adapters. Interconnects need no adapter, of course. 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
rrwolfgram,My silver wires also blew away every brand name I have ever had. Thanks very much for this link. 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
toddverrone,I understand with kids and pets -- which is not my case. You can order insulation on Ebay, as well. 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
toddverrone,I bought 9999 pure silver wire on Ebay. I use no insulation or connectors. I also made one PC using 9999 pure silver wire -- with insulation and connectors.Are your interconnects pure silver? With insulation? What connectors are you us...
