| Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby But does it use the same processor (DAC)? | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG @grannyring So if you're bi-wiring, say, with 16 and 12 awg, it's better to twist the two 16's together and the two 12's together (tweeter separate from woofer), rather than 16+12 and 16+12 (positive separate from negative)? | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable To do list.1. Pick a price point.2. Identify each and every cable at or below that point.3. Acquire (buy, beg, borrow, steal) examples of each.4. Perform extensive comparative listening tests.5. Months later, exhausted, announce to the world your ... | |
| The "how many reviews it got" rule Are you serious?Ever heard of Payola? | |
| No sound from speakers Surely there should be faint sounds coming from *both* speakers. That’s the detail that I don’t get. Perhaps you actually have two problems. | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? Might as well call them Golden Goose. | |
| No sound from speakers Have you heard the speakers working? I presume they were transported. Sounds to me as if something (more than one thing) got jarred very badly loose. | |
| How to assess and quantify system improvement and changes? There's a fundamental problem here, as there's no benchmark that any of the judgments can be keyed to. These are subjective judgments being made by individuals about unique combinations of components in unique listening spaces. Try codifying tha... | |
| Just wave! https://pmc-speakers.com/technology/atl The commentary says it's tapered, but the cut-away doesn't look tapered to me. Mixed in with the advertising copy, there are little technical nuggets dotted throughout the 3 mins. | |
| Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of. B&W DM1800's with dedicated stands. Had them in my system for years and years, longest of any. Still got 'em, packed away... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. @skyscaper I strongly recommend you don't buy cables (phono, interconnect, speaker, power) based solely on readings reviews or forum feedback. You need to put several makes/models in your system and see if you hear a difference, and if so, how b... | |
| Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of. Everything I've hear from the brits over the years are brightThat's strange. Lo these many years, I've owned Celestion, B&W, ProAc and now PMC, and I'm bright-averse. A brief detour into the world of Thiel predictably proved an utter debacle... | |
| How to assess and quantify system improvement and changes? Good luck with this one. Audiophiles almost by definition deal in hyperbole; to become a reviewer, first you need to pass a test in hyper-hyperbole.Notice how systems are so often "transformed" by substituting, e.g., wooden speaker cradles for ce... | |
| Phono cable advice. Funny, I was just about to recommend this:https://audiosensibility.com/blog/products-2/phono-cables-occ-copper-and-occ-silver/#!/Impact-SE-RCA-to-RCA-Phono-Cable/p/16010588/category=3749226 | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. I had a Furman IT Reference 15i briefly in house, and it was completely quiet. |
