Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets.
I agree with @tablejockey. A respectable speaker system should come with these qualities. Keep in mind, he is not saying that these things don’t work. They are merely fixing a problem that is not universal. If your speakers are missing any of thes... 
Results with Shunyata Venom Defender
@nyev  How many of them are you using? Have you tried a single one? I have one in my system with no complaints whatsoever. This is one of those pieces that I will not get rid of. It does everything you described but have no effect on the lower reg... 
Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
@mapman  We are talking about hi-fi pricing per your original post. No one here is talking about advances in technology. It’s a given that we are moving forward, thank God.   
Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
@dayglow is absolutely right, nothing has changed except for our own perspective. We are older and hopefully with God’s grace can afford more than we could then but nothing is different.   
Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum?
Hi Looks like you have a pesky one. The way you described it is a little confusing though. Does the hum happen constantly or is it “oftentimes”?  Is the amp the only component humming or are there more?  You talked about “any component that’s hum... 
Sharing my experience with cables
I am partial to Purist Audio 30th Anniversary AC cable at $15,000 a pop. A loom of 6 of these babies (90 grands) will make your system sing. What??  That’s not what you guys use? 😀   
Acoustical manufacturing company CR speakers
A picture is worth a thousand words; it might help if you could provide some pictures since you own it. Sometimes the value is not in the engineering but in the craftsmanship.   
A Grounding Cable Question for those who know and own this addtion to their system.....
I had the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE with both the regular and enhanced ground leads. Unfortunately they didn’t make any difference in my system, one way or the other. So I ended up selling them. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.   
Gregg Allman .......I cannot believe it has been 5 years.
Sad!  That’s life though. We are all marked to depart one day, some sooner than others, some frankly too soon. Enjoy it a little while you still can.   
Concerning high end audio names in new cars
Aren’t you guys a little too critical? The Mark Levinson in the Lexus is far from being awful. You can’t compare such systems with your home systems of course because the two environments are so different in terms of noise and vibrations but compa... 
Offline Music Storage & Playback Recommendations
@carzmaguy88  In response to your first question, the choices are almost unlimited. Only your budget will dictate what you pick. There are a lot of very good music servers out there from Melco to Aurender to Innuous-zenith to Antelope etc.  They a... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
@riley804  Why don’t you use wireless receivers/transmitters like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Transmitter-Receiver-Subwoofers-Surround/dp/B00SJ49ZJQ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3PPIQAUB5T43J&keywords=Wireless+receiver+for+sub&qid=165353... 
Wow....just look at this guy's car audio.....
I would like to see his home system. Surely he has money.   
Desktop Speakers
@mattlathrop  Unfortunately not. There is s second driver in the back. They need to be away from back wall.   
Desktop Speakers
@mattlathrop  You might want to check out Audience The One desktop speaker. Some thinks it’s the best in this price range, bettered only by its big brother the 1+1. I have the latter and I think it’s the best regardless of price. Depending on your...
