Glupson: insulting strangers in an audio forum and heated exchanges about something that practically has zero importance in life (you do it too, admit it) is one thing, and physically threatening someone is another thing. I am disappointed you are...

He’s been weird for the past five usernames of him 😂😂I have to say, being weird is fine. There are plenty of weird people around. Harmless. But this crossed the line. Reaching out to me and threatening me with “I know where you work” is hostile an...

I already did. I also talked to the legal at my office. I will report him to the police first thing in the morning. Pretty sure they can track him down via the IP in Audiogon. He is now going on a tirade via PMs, and threatening. This is serious

And here is the follow up after I told him to bring it on:———-Remember, I do know who you are, in your lower class townhouse, in your lower class life, in your lonely little space on your own. You can't even figure out some basic physics, you don'... 
One Cord To Rule Them All
Do we have another version of Audio2Design? We’ll see....So tell me “ausaudio” , what are your credentials and what business have you started in audio? 
Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...?
Please do not listen to anything cable haters like @hombre said. Pure hatred and BS, pretty sure he does not own any speakers  
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
The ARC observation prompted me to share a True story:I once knew a guy locally who was a big cable hater. He was a custom installer, home theater stuff, and mostly Sonos. He would always say cables are useless, every single time he got the chance... 
One Cord To Rule Them All
Thanks @mitch2 @millerccarbon: exactly! Once someone introduced to me the concept of power cord being an extension of the component’s power supply, the first few feet, not the last, it was much easier for me to explain rationally what I was hearin...

One Cord To Rule Them All
Oh boy! Some people have no idea how power cords work for an audio component. Like this comment above: ——-One poster suggested a 7 or 9 gauge cable from the wall.  That cable can't carry more current that whatever is in the wall, so using any larg...

Thank God for good Samaritans like you out there who are watching over poor souls being sucked into spending THEIR money 🙄

Being perfectly happy with basic cables like @sheridanmartinj is ... perfectly fine. It’s up to the hobbyists to decide how far they want to go with the hobby, and how many things (like cables, or other stuff) to try to optimize their system. It’s... 
Ethernet cables
Hi @pokey77: only tried the ET11 (Belden) because of the Metz connectors, and because the ET12 is stiffer (as it is described in the website). I asked Ghent first time around and he could not differentiate between the two. So I went with what I th...

@bluemoodriver: could you please show me how to measure tonality with my audio precision scope? I cannot figure this out. How about soundstage? Thanks
