Do your ears deceive you?
@cleeds And again and again, and round and round. The author of the article didn’t say that cables don’t matter. His company actually sells cables. What he’s saying is that a lot of expensive ones don’t justify the price tag and a correctly des... 
Do your ears deceive you?
@roadcykler Good article! Long, but it makes sense. I have used these RadioShack interconnects that he is talking about some decades ago and can attest that they were first rates (although they did subscribe to the notion that the signal was dire... 
Anybody compare the latest Audience 1+1 V5 speakers with Alta Audio Alyssas?
I have the V5 version and what I am hearing is totally opposite to what these gentleman have experienced. They are among the best bookshelves I have heard regardless of price. I am using a bigger and much more expensive pair of stand mount speaker... 
18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers
Unless you can’t afford it, multiple subs are always better than one, especially when dealing with bookshelf speakers. This is a no brainer. Also, you might get away with it for movies, but two F18 might be overwhelming for your bookshelf if music... 
Hum mystery to me
@jond  If the information you provided is correct, you are done troubleshooting. You said: I played a side on turntable 2. No hum. So that should rule out the amp or pre-amp. I hooked up a cheap NAD PP2 phone pre-amp to turntable one and ther...

FPL has an insurance for electronics. It costs I believe less than $12 a month in case of lightning damages and such. Last month, we had a power surge that killed my five year old AVP.  They gave me what I paid for it new. I was expecting a replac... 
Besides the BBB how do you fight claim resolution against FedEx
@br3098  Thanks for the advice. I don’t think I will be selling another sub unless it’s a local sale with pickup.

@rsf507  I got some money back from them including shipping. It was very close to what I was asking.  I agree that subs are better sold locally. Thanks.   
Larry the Cable Guys
Curiously, the Neardost Odin Gold cables have the same architecture. I shortened one recently to make it fit and was amazed at the complexity. Great post by the way. Thanks.   
Dual purpose amp
@cleeds    Some people don’t know the difference between an AVR and an AVP, some just use the terms invariably, like I use to 😀  
Seeking Opinions on Nordost Cables
It’s amazing to me that the OP seems to have gone on vacation after posting. Why are you wasting your time answering this?  
Stenheim Alumine 2SE Versus Raidho TD1.2
@audiotroy  Thanks. I might have to get both in order to make a decision. From reviews alone, both get high praises. I am not worried too much about the bass since I have four subs.  
Is anyone familiar with shipping oversea?
@noromance  Yep. The VAT is 20% from what I heard. That’s broke the deal. Back to the drawing board.     
Is anyone familiar with shipping oversea?
I will investigate the USPS route. Thanks.
