| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? Obviously written by someone who has gotten up close and personal with the subject matter. Very relatable. And, hilarious. Thanks for sharing. I shot this link off to some of my audiophile friends. Made their day(s). | |
| Moon 340i and Speakers The "600 Series" B&Ws are a value-driven, high bang-for-the buck speakers that compete very strongly in their price class. What you are experiencing is not so much a "tweeter" issue, but the aggregate of good, but not great, crossover componen... | |

| Has anyone upgraded the crossovers on Spatial Hologram M4 series loudspeakers? I try to approach speaker mods beginning with simple/cheap, and progressing to custom-designed/built crossovers.

| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? I really hesitate to inject general statements into discussions. But, here goes: I have never heard a system at any price that didn’t benefit from better cables. Can you use the wrong cable in a given system? Also true. I was a dealer for 35+ y... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? I’ll do my best to save you the labor pains, and just give you the baby. Taking the opposite approach: IMHO, 2 cables with different materials, geometry, gauge, dialetric (insulator) terminations, and termination methods, will sound DIFFERENT. Pe... | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp Generally, I would say "yes." We perform mods on amps and speakers, and reserve "parts swaps" to clearly inferior components. By looking at a photo of the back of the unit, does not appear to be the case here. Without the ability to see the insid... | |

| Audio Cables: All the Same? AudioGon Forum in the Year 2074: Audiophile 1: "Remember 'back in the day' when audiophiles used to argue over the sonic improvements of high end cables?" Audiophile 2: "Yeah, cool.....What's a cable?" | |
| It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You? @judsauce @macg19 @dcevans Thanks. I needed that. Every day I read, contemplate, and comment on very serious topics. It is nice to get a break from insanity, and put a little distance between myself and actions that have major consequences. ... | |
| It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You? @judsauce That just might be the kindest thing anyone has ever said to me. Thank you.
