Wilson Audio Haters
@cleeds I didn’t think it was confusing to call a single stereo mic (not mike) a single mic recording. I think maybe you had single mic and mono mic meshed in your mind..The main point was that a single point for recording sound can lend a more ac...

@orpheus10 I personally share the political opinions you've expressed or implied in this thread. I think, though, that the lack of response or sympathy to your indignation is less about the fact that the members of this forum are not politically o... 
Doh, left system off all night
@erik_squires what amps are you running? I still think my amp is my weak link, but I like class D.. I think some proper higher end (than what I have) monoblocks is where I'd like to go. The w4s mAMP looks nice. 
Bret D'Agostino passed away
so sad.  i can't imagine how heart breaking it would be to have either of my sons go before me..and yes, @dave_72 , drop some pounds, you can do it! 
Where is the optimal place to have an interface between two different metals?
Got it. I'm not looking for validation of my choices, so no worries. I just like to hear everyone's opinion.. I feel like it helps my perspective.Maybe I'm not finding my cables too bright because I'm only using silver plated copper connectors. Al... 
Where is the optimal place to have an interface between two different metals?
@grannyring what is it about the sound of silver plated copper that you don't like?  I'm curious, as I've pretty much switched completely to silver plated copper connectors and love it.  So, to make myself feel right, I need to try and destroy all... 
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
take that to the "substances" thread..

And room treatment.. :-) 
Where is the optimal place to have an interface between two different metals?
That’s why I started this thread. My initial line of thinking about connectors was as you stated: copper on copper should be best. But then that’s obviously not true once you start listening with plated connectors.So that got me thinking about all... 
Where is the optimal place to have an interface between two different metals?
@auxinput - so if the connection is soldered, that's not really an issue? I know with some signal cables, a junction between two different metals produces a difference in impedance that can cause a reflection of the signal to propagate back down t... 
Where is the optimal place to have an interface between two different metals?
@mechans yes! That's a great idea. Forget welding, let's just have our entire electrical systems cast out of copper, all electronics included. Then we can add everything else afterwards, like resistors, capacitors, diodes.. And we'll never have to... 
Where is the optimal place to have an interface between two different metals?
What got me thinking about it was a agon discussion I was reading where it was suggested that the receptacle and plug metals should be of the same metals.. Various other posts have suggested something similar, without everyone agreeing, of course.... 
Power supply hum transmitted to loudspeakers
@boxer12 i disagree about shielded power 'chords' being an absolute must. i thought the same when i made my first batch of power cords and made them all shielded. they did, indeed, make my system quieter. after further builds with different archit...

Anyone replace the batteries in their AudioQuest DBS packs?
That's a humorous and honest statement.
