| Dual Subwoofers: close together? I placed my two SVS SB2000 subs just inside my main floor standers and to either side of my equipment rack and this works very well. They are separated by about 6 feet. Lenrd bass traps by Aurelex in the corners of the room stacked three high help... | |
| Thiel Owners One of the biggest challenges to making 1st order crossover-appropriate speakers is that the drivers need to have a considerably wider bandwidth than those typically used in higher order designs. Not any old driver will do. These are much more exp... | |
| What album do you play over the holidays? Hmm, almost two years later and this one fizzled out. Well, there it is. Happy October (Q4!) to everyone! | |
| Phono Stage Opinions Enjoy what you have if it sounds good to you. | |
| The current best band in the world? My "best" band or musical artist at any given time is the one that fills my musical and emotional needs for that moment, and for which are constantly changing. I feel fortunate not to have a "best" band, or best anything, other than my family, and... | |

| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Amps: Manley NEO 250 monoblocksSpeakers: Thiel CS2.4I have correct speaker cables, for me, when I hear more than I've heard before and didn't spend an arm and a leg to do so. Plus, the overall balance and stage are "just right." | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I have owned, and in some cases still own, Synergistic Research, Audioquest, Tara Labs, Mapleshade, AntiCables, Van den Hul and (yikes) Monster speaker cables.And for under $30 I just bought from Blue Jeans Cable Co. 16 feet of Belden 12-gauge 500... | |
| Best turntable under $2000 To respond to the preference for VPI, I have a VPI Aries 2 and it is a great table and with a Lyra Delos outclasses any sub $2000 turntable. But, as I recall, I paid close to $4000 for that table with JMW 10.5 arm. I also previously owned an origi... | |

| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Physically asymmetrical HOW?And how can resistance measure lower at one end than the other? Stupid pseudoscience garbage. Measure a resistor with leads one way, then flip them around, and they measure the same. I’VE DONE IT. I build amplifiers.Fus... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Is the hypothesis proposed that there is directionality inherent to wire, built into the physical structure and composition, even before it is ever connected to a voltage source, either DC or AC?Or, is it that directionality becomes apparent only ... | |
| Phono preamp/turntable connection question. One recommendation for tonearm to phono stage, as a cable with very low capacitance, is Blue Jeans LC-1 (Belden). Highly affordable and is among the lowest capacitance at 12.2 pF/foot. I use them for both MM and MC cartridges. Great value! | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Like Richard Feynman? |
