Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options
@acar83  Very interesting post. I'm a (very) long term advocate for premium power cables, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the issue of larger gauge cables having performance issues over extended time periods.  I have not observed, nor have... 
Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue
Greetings on a (mostly) peaseful Sunday morning. I’m going to jump in here as a highly enthusiastic premium power delivery supporter. This includes, but not limited to, beefy cables from the electrical panel, premium (audiophile) power cords, upg... 
"Tuning" CD's
Tuning CD's is a thing.    Many, many hours of experimentation with a variety of solutions gave us very positive results ranging from "notable improvement" to "jaw-dropping".  We provided a complementary service to customers and allowed them to b... 
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
It’s interesting to me when the phenomenon of messaging and/or music reasonates with a broad spectrum of society, race become invisible and we have found yet another common link and connection. When all the stars line up and both of these occur si... 
Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great?
The KLH Model 20 "Amazing Music Box" was my first experience with hifi sound. A buddy was telling me great his new stereo system sounded, so I decided to drop over after school for a listen. Here was this dinky little chassis with a turntable stuc... 
Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel?
@jumia I’m with @ghdprentice on this one: "Only when comparing to other cords. This is not a pursuit with absolutes… maybe the desire, but we live in a world of imperfection." As with many audio pursuits, experimentation is the key to success.... 
Show off!
@clearthinker  "I'm surprised the bass did not destroy the Toyota." I did joke around with people and tell them my car made so much bass, I had stretch marks on the trunk lid. "Of course the Bach piece has far more merit than as an audio demo. ... 
If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like?
@erik_squires  "I think he at some point made a resonant shaking table or something like that, which standing on it could be fun for a short time or an extreme laxative effect if you stood on it too long." Standing on a resonance shaking table w... 
If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like?
@curiousjim  "The only thing I know for sure is it would run on AC current.😁" That's for sure.  But, I'll bet Edison is smiling out there somewhere knowing how much AC is converted to DC inside those boxes.    
New sound immersion processes
The Comfortably Numb Dolby Atmos rendition on BluRay doesn't suck.  
Show off!
@clearthinker In our car audio days (1980s) we were invited to display our demo vehicle (Mazda 626 Turbo with 2-18"subs) in a shopping mall. After being very polite and a good neighbor for a couple of hours, I just couldn’t help slipping in the ... 
Show off!
@roxy54 The Blood Sweat & Tears (first album) was my first introduction to "real" high fidelity. It was in the showroom of David Beatty Stereo in Kansas City, MO. Macintosh amp/preamp (MX113/MC2015?) and ESS AMT1s. It was just "clear" beyond... 
It was 61 years ago today...
My dad had just purchased a stereo with flip-down turntable and foldout speakers for us kids so my brother and I could play music in our bedroom. (Probably had nothing to do with the fact that we were playing OUR music on HIS Admiral console stere... 
The Dope from Hope...
@sevi01 Wow!!  Thanks for sharing. My affiation with Klipsch dates back to 1982.  I have a 1958 Klipschorn and Small Horn in my vintage audio collection. Good to see Paul, and his rumblings, getting the respect they deserve. John  
Interconnect advice needed
@simna  Sorry the speaker toe in/out did not work well for you.  I believe it was someone else who made this suggestion. " I read on another forum a post from a guy having the same problem. He got the advice to experiment with toe out." I thoug...
