Speaker wire is it science or psychology
I think you neglected to read my post, if you think there has been no evidence to prove to you that different cables sound different. If you do not take my word for it, I will provide you with the "scientific proof" you so desire. I have an articl... 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Cables are in series with any two components they connect. Any component in series with the music affects the music. Whether we choose to accept it or not. Cables vary in resistance, impedence, capacitance, inductance, etc. Would you say I was cra... 
Cary Cabling
I agree with the statement by Lak on Silver Audio. Tubes in general, and Cary in particular are a match made in heaven with silver. And Silver Audio is about as good as it gets. Smooth, liquid, warm, yet detailed and full. What more could you want... 
Radio Shack SPL Meter mods corrections
Sean, to offer a "thank you" seems unworthy. I have had the privelage of reading countless informative posts during my stint on Audiogon. This has to be the most instructive, informative, well researched post I have had the pleasure to read. You c... 
Best Midrange for DIY speakers
Actually, the Accuton drivers have always been Thiel & Partner. You were 100% correct Sedond. I have the literature, circa 1996 or so. They made tweeters down to drivers capable of 40 or 60 Hz(now I cannot exactly remember - I looked through i... 
silver vs copper ICs
I am one of the bigger proponents on the site for silver. But, I also love many copper cables. I do NOT however, like silver plated copper. But, separate silver and copper wire in a cable are good. Silver, at its best, is not harsh or etched. Rath...

Best HDCD player under US1600
Look into the Arcam 9/FMJ23 CD players. You might have to pick one up used. Very nice players. 
Best Tweeter for DIY project
Anyone have any experience with Raven or Cabasse tweeters? Both have VERY high sensitivity(96-98 dB/2.83V). Do they exhibit any tendency toward brightness, breakup(they shouldn't), harshness, etc(all the problems that soft domes solve). I stopped ... 
Best Midrange for DIY speakers
Sedond, Morels are clones of many Dynaudio drivers. Not ScanSpeak. From the HUGE voice coil diameters on down. There are sometimes differences in the baskets, etc. They have some type of agreement with Dynaudio to produce the designs. A great buy....

The ScanSpeak Revelator is about as good as they get these days. 
Best Midrange for DIY speakers
I recommend drivers from Cabasse(impressive), Dynaudio, Focal, and Morel. I think, depending on the situation, these are all excellent. I have more limited experience with ScanSpeak, but many rave over them. 
Best Woofer s for DIY speakers
You first need to decide on what type of enclosure you will be employing. Sealed box woofers are VERY different from those used in a vented alignment. Other things to consider are what size of driver you are looking for, what type of music you wil... 
Triangle Titus
I am a BIG Triangle fan. I heard a small pair about a year and a half ago, and was smitten. Not sure if it was these, or the Comete. Also heard the Antal. But, most of my time was spent with the Zays(the biggest of this lot). I have to say that th... 
absolute best component you ever owned
My speakers are Coincident Digital Master w/Troubass subwoofers. A model no longer manufactured by the company. Analogous to Wilson Watt/Puppies or Verity speakers. Sort of pyramidal satellites, which use the subs as stands. Done up all in black, ...
