| Pass Labs X260.8 @jetter - WRT he states that there is little difference in sound from one XLR interconnect to another. He’s probably correct for many commercial products, mainly because they all conform to the more generally accepted cable geometries (i.e. tw... | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 @marktheshark - I would definitely go with the amp as close as possible to the speakers and use speaker cables that are as short as possible. I would also opt for speaker cables with totally separate +ve and -ve wires to reduce noise contaminatio... | |
| Unfiltered Power Bars @greg7 - Having read through the postings, a couple of products stand out for me Yout Furutech e-TP66(g) - mainly because they use the Furutech outlets, which are a proven product, but also because you can attach the power cable of your choice... | |

| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @lanx0003 - most cable companies provide very little insight as to why they charge the price they command, simply because the cables are poorly designed and tend to perform just above the abilities of stock power cables. But there are a few compa... | |

| Analog upgrade @kerrybh - I have the previous version of the Moon 310 - i.e. he LP5.3 RS, and I have stopped looking any further. I did not go with the separate power supply, because I believed I could improve the sound quality by using a great power cable - an... | |

| New cartridge My vote would be for the Soundsmith cartridge, only because I have a cartridge that was "upgraded" by Soundsmith and the improvements were night and day - it really sounds amazing. Here’s a clip from a review on Analogue Seduction It is effort... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @svampebob - I can’t say I have noticed an abnormally long break-in with speaker cables, particularly if they use the Air Adaption, but it is possible that the Bananas (or other connectors) are what is causing an overly long burn-in. I mention t... | |
| Audiophile Perception & Impacts for Stereo Sound @seagull369 - you appear to have only touched on what I consider to be a very important contributor to many of the phasing aspects you mention in your post... Cables! Cables will impact the phase of the L/R channels and reduce or expand the size... | |
| Comparing Speaker Cables @pinwa - you have received some good advice from the postings above, in that you should first select a "baseline cable" - a starting point, and listen to a selection of tracks over a prolonged period and then change to a second set for a compariso... |
