| new member, some questions, need help please I don’t think those older inverted-dome metal tweeters are competitive with today’s better designs and will likely need to be tamed by electronics/cables. I’d go listen to some of Wilson’s more recent designs with a silk dome tweeter and see what ... | |
| Power cord upgrade I’ve been impressed by reviews of some direct sellers that are worth exploring as they offer high value and generous free trials. On the lower end there’s the Ice Age OFC “Frankencable” and on the pricier side there’s the Snake River Signature bo... | |

| Separates vs Integrated It’s that synergy that has me wonder about a high end integrated vs what I have. Well that’s just a total non starter. If you can’t be more specific about what specific improvements you’re looking for, even people who happen to own your pre and... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move Reasons for Changing. They do not sound harsh or bright. I'm not thinking of moving on because of that. I'd like to get a bit more depth to the soundstage and more finesse in the overall presentation. Depending on the tube amp I’d highly re... | |

| Gold coated brass speaker spades Chinese retailers were selling fake Harmonic Tech, Nordost, Siltech and other 4...5- figure priced wires for around $100 per pair and finding lots of success @czarivey That don’t mean squat. Anyone listening to the same cable one made of brass ... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades It's all about brass being same as OFC and even Silver. All three materials can be used in audio wires and all will sound nearly same. @czarivey You’re kidding, right? That’s just an absurd statement, and nobody makes cables out of brass wire... | |

| Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp? Could be a ground loop. You could try using a cheater plug to lift the ground on the preamp, amp, etc. and see if that eliminates the hum. Not a long-term solution but at least you’ll see if that’s the problem and then go from there. I suppose ... | |
