| Upgrading speaker cables... Cables will not open up your speakers. Higher priced cables just cost more. If you aren’t happy with the sound change your speaker amp or source. | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @ieales Sorry but the laws of physics are very clear. You are just making stuff up.Only badly designed and badly matched gear are going to make audible differences with a normal short run of wire to the speakers.There is no masking effect - you ar... | |
| Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)? @gerryah30 There is a simple reason speakers are always better - studios use them to mix and master. So the reverberant energy in your room is part of what you are intended to hear by those doing the production. 60% direct and 40% indirect sound i... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @geoffkait Exactly! | |
| “MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart He is full of it. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? Appropriate speaker cable should not be high capacitance. There is plenty of badly designed equipment around - don’t choose said equipment. | |

| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? @clearthink A simple trick is to buy the same gear that is used by professionalslike Sting, Pink Floyd, Diana Krall and Mark Knopfler. Folks who make a very successful living from making music tend to demand good quality as well as good reliabili... | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? This is normal. What you hear is subjective and will be heavily influenced by your mood and whether you have a cold, slept well or not etc.Also much boutique equipment is finicky and very unreliable (like tubes).This is probably the single biggest... | |
| Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)? -1 Elizabeth - you just haven’t heard really good speakers if you think headphones are better for hearing detail. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Isn’t the type of coal used to heat the water to make the steam that drives the electric turbines at the power station more significant than a fuse. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses These special fuses cost more than the latest and greatest DAC chips!what a joke |
