No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
As far as I can see, there’s awg 1/0, 2/0, 3/0 and 4/0, or 0000. This last is nearly 1/2 inch thick. This is clearly the stuff you need--and it gives a whole new meaning to speaker jumper cables.Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/KnuKonce... 
Speaker recommendation
Hi again. I wasn’t recommending the B&W’s, they just happened to be the other speakers in the room with the GE’s. And yes, the GE’s would be much more authoritative in the bass. But as I said earlier, to me the viola sounded way more like a vi... 
Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership?
Just count the number of little yellow boxes you see when looking at threads.  I see... few.

There's a brand new pair of PSB T3's on the 'gon today that I'm pretty sure you could get for 5K, but I guess that's now moot.We all have different ears, I guess.  I auditioned the Triton 2's a while ago, against B&W 702's, and to me the B&... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
ayrepassparasoundmcintoshroguebellesquicksilverARCThese are all very good brands, but I suspect that some of them won't offer the wattage that you need with the Magico's within the price point you specify.  For instance, you could get Belles pream... 
Advice on buying good CD player that will outperform my Primare cd31
Primare CD35, Bryston BCD-3, Marantz SA-10... 
Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk..
@abstract I wish I had had an opportunity to.  But Primare doesn't have a large dealer base, with nothing close at hand.  Also, their repair network seemed dependent on one individual.  Whereas I've had excellent support, above and beyond, for man...

Audio magazines and audio sites are full of glowing reviews.  Indeed, it's nigh on scandalous when the review isn't glowing.  Reading reviews and then going out to audition the components in person has demonstrated to me repeatedly that sometimes ...

@abstract The yearly "advances" in DACs often involve more specmanship than real electronics.  For daily driving, how much better is a 2019 car over the same 2018 model?  Before purchasing the Bryston BCD-3, I eliminated the Hegel Mohican, leaving... 
Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???
There's more than one previous thread where the relative merits of the Rogue and Prima Luna integrateds are debated.

HELP!!!! Need Hales Revelation 3 Woofer
Google suggests that the woofers used in that model were likely manufactured by Peerless.  You need to do some more research to see if you can find out exactly what type (model number) it was, and then see if one of the big websites that sells raw... 
More expensive DAC the answer?
Sounds first like a speaker placement/room treatment issue.  You need to experiment with that--and optimizing that--before shelling out more money on gizmos. 
Focal Aria speaker
The bigger the differential between the plane of the scene and the plane of the speaker drivers, the better.  Negative effects definitely are reduced (personal experience).  Try the woolen rug drape on the screen; you could also think about gettin... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Certainly no news about this on the RF Circuit and Assembly site which is supposedly the company doing the buy-out.  Also, rather troublingly, the two links on the bottom of their homepage don't lead anywhere...
