| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… Solutions? Solutions to what? Increasing margins for snake oil companies? This cable won't be any better than a coat hanger. I guarantee you would never know the difference in a blind test. | |
| Considering switching to XLR cables, You won't hear a difference at all. | |
| Bad idea? Why in the world would you spend $1,000 on speaker cables. Serious question. I assume it's because you want them to look really nice; some eye candy in your system. Because it can't be because you think they'll actually sound any better than using... | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors No. None of those things will improve the sound of your system, but they may hurt it. Anyone who says different ignores science, physics, and/or could be one of the many snake oil salesmen ruining this hobby. They're straight up liars. Wish this i... | |
| New buy, no return policy Ditch that dealer, if he really is one. Done. | |
| Speakers sound too bright. Step 1 is assessing your room's acoustic setup (absorption, etc.). Step 2 is your speaker placement - follow manufactures guidance to start. The final step is getting different speakers. Ignore anyone telling you to get new cables or amps. | |
| Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio Yeah, they're pretty good. | |

| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? If I remember, I will, but I normally don't. It is the only way to protect your equipment from lightning. | |
| And the biggest influence on sound quality is... I was going to say your room. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Power cables do not change sound. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or willfully ignorant. Don't drink the snake oil... it's thick in here. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Why are you asking 'opinions' about power cables instead of just asking what science and physics say, with quantifiable facts. POWER CABLES DO NOT CHANGE SOUND. Shame on anyone who says otherwise and perpetuates the marketing lies. I'm amazed ther... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Anyone who believes power cords change sound, or anything beyond the cheapest 12 AWG OFC cables you can find change sound, are also scammers. Or not really audiophiles. Or both. | |
| Send in the Clowns If it wasn't a tube amp, then it doesn't matter. It will sound the same as every other amp ever made. Clown. | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) Kind of lame since it's totally subjective. Vynil introduces a level of distortion that is pleasing to the ears of many, whereas other people prefer otherwise. Shots fired? Ok. That's like saying country music is better than rap. It's just prefere... |
