Hum sound ..is it me or is it you? LOUD hum in system
Can we all send him small packages of dog turds? I have two dogs and a seemingly endless supply.. 
Class D is just Dandy!
@lalitk I've a tube pre used in conjunction with my class D monoblocks. I absolutely love this combo. Beautiful, lush detail with loads of power and control. If you don't mind me asking, how the heck are you going to bi amp without a crossover? I ... 
Hearing is believing?........power cables.......
Oh yes, please. Tell us how wrong we are. We're obviously fooling ourselves. Thankfully your hulking intellects are saving you from a similar fate.If only I were as smart. Alas. 
Help me build speaker cables please!
I'm making 6.5' cables and will be using two runs of the 12awg per speaker for my neutral.I've been using the wirebarn combined gauge calculator since I started in with cables. So handy! Thanks for the link to yours as well.

Sabai - I've two resonators on the back of my speakers, one on the outer side as one on the top. I've ordered the brass bowls in a smaller size to make smaller resonators. We'll see where those end up..

Ok here's my plan: I'm going to buy some of the take 5 audio 12awg cryo'd silver plated OCC wire. I'll be using this as my neutral conductor, two runs of it per cable. Then I'm going to experiment with some cat 5 cable to find the optimal combined...

@ozzy I like the resonators on top of the speaker cabinets. They seem to make the ceiling disappear. Thanks for the tip.Toolbox - I made 10 of the heavier bottom resonators. There's a pic of one on my system page. I was able to press fit them in u...

What's with all the posts removed? Thanks Steve. I'm aiming to buy wire today. I like the wire steakster posted as well, but I'd have to braid it because it's small. Then I'd be mixing architectures. Which could be good, but also confusing trying ...

Good idea, Steve. Still trying to decide on wire. Do the gZero 6 have larger conductors than the 3, or just a different architecture? 
Help me build speaker cables please!
@dragon_vibe that's what I'd be worried about. If I bought silver speaker cables and didn't like them, I could at least sell them. DIY silver cables would be way cheaper but nigh on impossible to sell.. out of curiosity, what equipment were you us...

Geoff - You did. I checked the link and you provide loads of info. Sorry, I should have checked your site. I’m so used to manufacturers who don’t actually get into the science and just make claims on their sites.

@geoffkait my questions weren’t snarky. Those are actual questions I have. My statement that I won’t get straight answers is based on my past interactions with you and was meant to be playful, not critical. Toolbox - yeah, that link didn’t work fo...

So.. crystals. Does the atomic crystalline structure matter? What about the actual shape of the crystal? Yours are pebbles, so I'm assuming you've found they don't need to be shaped like crystals.. but we all know what happens when you assume. Ha!... 
Help me build speaker cables please!
Steve - I understand. I’m aware that 18 awg is plenty to handle the current of most amps.. but from past experience, fat cables sound better in my system to me.However! That may be because of the fatness of the neutral.. I’m willing to keep an ope... 
Power cable
@lowrider57 I've had a few of my posts removed recently and I can't for the life of me figure out why.. Drunken moderators? :-P
