Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC.
 To mtbrider.  I bought the HT speaker cables Pro11+ because they were made by the original designer. who sold the company about two years ago. I have read, and was told by a few members the new stuff is now made in Malaysia is not as good. So, I ...

Can changing speaker cables often require adjusting speaker placement?
Thank you to all who have responded. I was proofing a reply but unfortunately erased the text by miss-keying. Will report results soon. 
Glen Frey has passed ...
I never was a big Eagles's Fan, however the band and particularly Glen Frey gave us a ton of beautiful music.  "Tequila Sunrise"  was one of many of my  favorites, because it described the beauty of the California desert, and the promise of anothe... 
R.I.P. David Bowie
Was waiting for this memoriam to start on AG after Bowie's passing.  First time. I saw Bowie he was Ziggy Stardust.  The performance was at the now defunct Winterland Area in San Francisco, Not sure, but the year was about 1974.    I was never int... 
New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech???
Hey, Mr. Phusis, and the other guy you quoted replying to the thread; I did NOT have a "good chuckle" about the term vintage"  that I WAS ASKED TO DEFINE"  I say ask; I did not even want to declare one knowing how prissy and hen like some members ... 
"Older" Harmonic Technology Pro-11 Plus compared to Grover Huffman SR speaker cable
Mitch,  Thank you for the information and endorsement of HT.  The  cables I am considering are the Pro11 +  which supposedly sound a tad better than the original Pro 11.   The Pro 9 or Pro 9 Ref  is out of my price range even "used"  despite the r... 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
Thank you for the reply. You make many good points.  The quality of the source material is key to good sound.  Derek and the Dominoes, classic . Layla, is maybe the best produced rock album of the 70's, or maybe of all time. However, It is often m... 
Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??.
 Thank you for reply and comments. Unfortunately, I forgot this thread because I changed the 2 standard output tubes in Rogue Sphinx integrated to Mullards 4003 CV on the advice of another member.  They did make a difference  in overall clarity; h...

Thank you for your response. I somewhat agree with your last paragraph because like yourself have heard a number of very good bookshelf and monitor speakers on today's market that are under $400.  A few members who responded to this thread have in...

Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
There are so many good responses to the thread, it is overwhelming and impossible to  answer each one. To Melbguy1  Happy to hear that YG in the new Carmel II strove to deliver more engaging and musical sound.  The originals were outstanding, but ... 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
To Chrasani 37.  I am sure I got your blog name wrong.  Nevertheless, I have not heard anything recently that knocked me out.  Two years ago, I heard a pair of YG Carmel  (original ). They did many of things that reviews claimed, especially the TA...
