HOW TO CHOOSE A SPEAKER CABLE?
Do your homework and narrow the choices down to a couple of manufacturers. Hopefully, this will include a local resource. Then get some samples from each manufacturer at a couple price levels you’re comfortable with to try at home. If available, y... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
@teo_audio Actually, I thought you said quite a bit in a few short sentences.

If I would have had more time, I would have written a shorter memo.

Sorry if this rambles for a bit, but I am very passionate about this subject. I founded YOUniteUSA about 5 years ago. The initial goal was to identify, validate and celebrate our common links and connections. I developed the "Connections Pyramid"... 
Maybe this is the winter you build something!
@asvjerry As one industry guru said back in my early days of doing home automation: "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."  
Maybe this is the winter you build something!
Having fun now. Thanks, Eric, for the topic. Been there. Done (and, still doing) that. I’d like to mention that there are varous levels of engagement for DIYr’s. Not everybody has access to a woodshop, or the finese to navigate their way around ... 
Why does rock concert sound suck?
@asvjerry +1 on Blue Man Group. Just might be the most fun you can legally have at home? It seems that live concerts othen involve three bands. The opener, the one in between, and the one your REALLY came to see. The producers want to see the ene... 
Power Cables - Stock vs. Budget
@gnoworyta Absolutely!! I’m also on board with the wall socket upgrade. It will benefit all devices plugged into it, so it will deliver excellent bang for the buck. As a retired dealer, we shared many "ah ha" moments with power delivery upgrad...

Is the Allen wrench standard, or metric?  
We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio?
Gents, We’ve had some hits and misses on this forum, including some from the OP. From what I’ve learned from you, I’d like to submit some closing comments: - The objective of acheiving the best sound, and in particular, best sonic bang for the b... 
We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio?
@invalid Good point. It’s just a matter of time. We’re improving the power/weight component of batteries. But, as one keynote speaker said at a convention I attended: "If you keep making these things smaller and more powerful, what you’re going t... 
We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio?
@fredapplegate @secretguy  Gents, The premise asserts that the automotive aftermarket is alive and well, producing great results, and the "audio performance aftermarket" is non-existent. I believe this is a true statement. I'm going to jump rig...

@aubbrin570  I got involved in drag racing at a time when AA Fuel Dragsters were just breaking 200MPH in the quarter mile.  Now, guys drive their cars to the tracks and go faster than that.  1,000HP "at the wheels" is not a rarity in "daily drive... 
We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio?
@moto_man It’s not very useful sometimes to take a "logical" approach to "illogical" purchases. Emotions are intangible, and if we’re trying to make the math work, we’re going to be left scratching our heads. Big receivers were the "big block Che... 
We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio?
@fraterperdurabo Your post deserves a "yes" on all points. It's interesting what a 5 cent investment can make replacing the D-clip with an O-ring to keep the idler wheel in place on an old turntable.  My topic focuses on the lack of maturity in ...
