High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Ddraudt, I just noticed the layman explanation of how the HFCables work on their web page. I think most here know that any current flow induces a magnetic field and that any magnetic field induces current flow. The idea that magnets and ease the f...

Ddraudt, it seems like I'm always waiting for something breaking in. Last night with nothing changed, I had a major jump in the quality of the sound stage on every recording that I played. I find breakin comes in big jumps-not at all smoothly.Also...

Fluffers, I think that you can turn off the tubes. Just don't move the cables. I have no tube components now, but I used to have your concern. I did turn off the amp when not playing music. I did leave the preamp on, however. Breakin may take some...

Audiolabyrinth, go to hell! 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Having just returned from the RMAF and again heard very musical reproduction of mono records, I think there is a clear difference between the best digital sound and the best vinyl sound. The first is very musical and the second can be very real so...

Audiolabyrinth, Tata Labs is listed as an exhibitor at the RMAF 2014 and I walked into their room. I was not shocked by the sound.

Mapman, I think the new Tara Labs cables were at the RMAF. I listened for a while and then left. I was unimpressed, especially given their price.

I should follow up on Ddraudt's comments. Basically HFC wave guides do NOT like to be in contact with wooden floors or carpet. This is a major issue with the HFX UR speaker cables. I don't even like to have any part of the cable in contact with th... 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Rja, I don't think comparative listening really helps with outlets, cartridges, speakers, or ac plugs and IECs. Cables, however, are easier. 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
For years I used Eagle outlets having compared the three major brands available then. Then I moved to the Hubbel HBL5362 Extra Heavy Duty Industrial Series. Unfortunately the first one of these I got had been cryogenically by Jena Labs. It was for...

Fplanner2000, I still remember when Rick and I had put one HFC URR pc from the wall into the HFC WGpc and listened briefly before going for lunch. One and a half hours later I remember hearing the first few notes and looking at Rick in disbelief. ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Hazyj, once in a great while, someone will post something that interests me. But heretofore, it has not been a speaker with anything approaching majority support. I really see no reason to have audio postings as words cannot convey sounds. So in r...

Ddraudt, now all you and I need is a ceramic tree on which to hang all the URR pc wave guides. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Melbguy1, no I knew nothing about it. Do you have one? 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Tonykay, I've owned Quads and even double Quads, the early Martin Logan, Accoustech, Infinity ServoStatics, etc. No panel speaker ever vanishes. At best they give you a sensation of listening to the recording studio through two windows to it. Seco...
