| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? I think amps sound better in their their optimum power range instead of a very powerful amp barely putting out even a small fraction of its power...learned that decades ago from guitar amps. I like an efficient speaker with an amp that's digging i... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder If I burn in my refrigerator cable will it make everything warmer? | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. I've been using various 6SN7s (GTBs in my case) and found that NOS GEs sound best for my tastes, and last a really long time. | |
| Volti does it again! In recent years I've brought in a few very well regarded speakers that I had high hopes for but when compared to what I was replacing they didn't make the cut. Some sold off, some returned. Adjusting Volti's policy would possibly result in far mor... | |

| Amp — Leave on or turn off Unfortunately climate change is here to stay and the weather will absolutely get weirder for decades to come. Maybe our grandchildren will figure something out (shoot millions of tiny umbrellas into space?) but when the gulf stream stops, the ocea... | |

| What next? Schiit Freya + (I use the original version) and maybe a Bifrost 2/64...both sound first class and are somewhat "el-cheapo a mundo." | |
| Help me pick some new or used speaker cables My speakers have titanium tweets and mids and my band opened for Zep in 1969, so obviously my opinion is the only one that matters. Ahem...the most recent version of Kimber's 8PR is the best deal out there. Period...no more discussion required...t... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe Often things get deleted because somebody takes offense to something posted. I've had that happen to my posts which are generally offensive and disturbing so I'm used to it. | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers The argument that some among us have superior uber sensitive hearing and thus can claim to hear large and obvious differences between fuses, cables, dog whistles, big bang vibrations, sunspots and fog...just renders any discussion conveniently moo... | |
| Anthony (Tony) Cordesman has passed away A great audio writer who always made sense making a well crafted and logical case for whatever he was talking about. |
