Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products?
Rrog,The recordings in my system vary according to the quality of the production. Great recordings sound great -- not lean or warm.Mrtennis,IMO what has been proposed is not complex. We are only talking about testing 2 cables from each of 5 manufa...

Mt10425,That is a very good question. What the heck does neutral mean? 
Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products?
How is it that their new cable has a black background, the next version has a blacker background, the next version has an ink black background, the next version has a jet back background, the next version has an ultra black background -- and the n... 
Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products?
Furthermore, if it is true that they cannot identify their own products how can they make their perpetual claims that their cables will improve the sound in everyone's system to everyone's liking? 
Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products?
Mt10425,You state "how each cable sounds on given system might be completely different than the factory reference system." Absolutely correct. Which is why I say "we give them an hour to get used to the sound of this system".You state "For this to...

Speaker cables comparison chart:: Much Needed

Neodio NR22 Cd player - thoughts?
Spiritofmusic,I had the opposite experience. I used to have the EMM CDSA SE. I now have the AMR DP-777 and PS Audio PerfectWave transport. In my system the AMR wiped the EMM off the map in all respects -- right out of the box with no break-in. I h... 
Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud
Dcoates7020,IMO this is a lot more serious that one experience versus another. Synergistic Research has a warning on their site about counterfeit SR cables being sold by MSS. MSS are defendants in a court case instigated by Bel Canto. Here is the ... 
Transformers .. Is It Just Me?
Ozzy,I'm glad to hear you are getting such good results with your transformers. I also have a hum on my isolation transformer plugged into the wall but it's no problem since the music drowns it out. 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
My wife used to ask me "When are you going to be finished buying and selling .. and when are you going to get rid of all those darn boxes?"As I upgraded, the complaints were replaced by spontaneous dancing and comments like "good" when she came up...
