What type of Audio Gal or Guy are you? Do You Know?
I'm a cheapskate with gear. I always buy used or discounted and I look for gear where I'm paying for the components, not the name. I also love DIY where knowledge and time permits.. Also, I tend to find stuff I like and keep it for years. Being a ... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
@asvjerry you are, indeed, correct. Class T are built using the Tripath chips and are a subset of class D amps. From what I understand, though, Tripath chips are no longer manufactured and haven't been for a few years, so anything advertised as Cl... 
whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
I'm late in responding, but I have built @williewonka 's designs that he posted and they are amazing cables for my system. I've made helix ICs, PCs and SCs. You can choose your own conductor, which is nice. Tailoring your cables to your system and... 
Why is modern pop music today so terrible?
While I agree with most of you guys about modern top 40 pop, I definitely come at my disdain for this music from a different angle..I love electronic music. Experimental, abstract, dubstep, house, ambient, noise.. I have found tracks I love from a... 
Using Magnets
What color does smoking crack require? 😘 
Using Magnets
Hey, just saw these snap together cylinder magnets.. I bought a few and will be trying them on my power cords.Will report back!https://supermagnetman.com/search?q=M5051_N52 
What have I missed in the last 12 years?
I was going to say class D, but I'm late to the game. So I second that! Love my class D amps with a tube pre... Power and efficiency all day! 
2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
I made a pair of the cables Erik recommends.. they do sound great and are a reasonably inexpensive way to try silver. I ended up making another pair of ICs from solid silver in cotton from vh audio based on a design by @williewonka. I think they s... 
Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
I find ferrites to squash the sound as well. Though, it was definitely a black background. But the music seemed compressed. Not sure how else to describe it. 
Help me build speaker cables please!
Especially when children are involved. It's bad enough screwing yourself up. Don't take your children with you.. I'm just excited about graphene. I don't want black lung. 
Will power cable work well as speaker cable?
Hahaha! I had to read that last part three times..Man, 2 x 10awg per polarity is a bit crazy. I mean, unless you’re pushing 2000 watts..I’ve been making lots of cables and was loving some braided cat 5 cables. However, I recently made a pair of ca... 
Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil
Randy - 😂 
Class D is just Dandy!
It is peculiar, no? I don’t spend ANY time on tube amp or SS amp threads telling them how their preferred choice of amplification is inferior. 
Will power cable work well as speaker cable?
I've not tried it, but I've read many anecdotes that proclaim Romex to be an amazing speaker cable. But a bear to get into place. If you do use your 10/5 Romex, (you sure about that? 5 conductors plus a ground? I've never heard of that..) don't us... 
Help me build speaker cables please!
perfectpathtech - hahaha! quite the zinger.thanks for your warning and genuine concern.. i'm waiting for an easier form of graphene to work with. the powder just seems to much of a mess.  i recently saw an article on my newsfeed (which i've yet to...
