| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? I’m shocked no one talks about what brand wire to use between the outlet and the breaker box. Why no discussion about audiophile breakers? There is discussion about fuses within the components, why not on the breaker box? Why no discussion abo... | |
| At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections? tech-talk, Have you considered that by posting as you have here in the forum, you are literally looking for a needle in a haystack? Your post is asking why some companies don't offer XLR on their high end products. You ask that no one speculate.... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? It is very disappointing how many people didn’t read OP’s question and answer in a constructive fashion which of those 4 items made the biggest difference for amps and preamps. | |
| Trying to understand B&W’s trickle down strategy The Matrix 805 in question here has held its value incredibly well. I have two sets. I think you should buy a pair between 550 and 750 if possible. Bring them with you to A-B against the new model you want to compare them to. If you are polite, as... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Used B&W Matrix 805, Bryston 1B PreampThese have never failed, and remain very true to the music. | |
| Stereo Receivers from the past... I have a small collection of the Monitor NAD receivers.The 7600 model is robust, still highly sought after.The lesser models 7100, 7300, 7400 have less power.All add in a remote with volume control, 7600 even balance. They also have pre-amp output... | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? “Why does Accuphase conceal the highly relevant fact that their gold-plated connectors are still idiosyncratically designed for bare wire entering the third decade of the 21st Century CE?”My guess would be they spent a small fortune doing randomiz... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies confusion I’m 100% sure that people who perceive a difference with PPT products, esoteric power cables, fuse orientation etc are human.They are not robots typing in the forum.As humans they are susceptible to placebo effect, and can not possibly prove causa... | |

| Preamp recommendation I’m using a Lexicon MC-8B.It has phenomenal musicality and it’s preamp section is wonderfully flexible. Mine has XLR abilities. I’m matching it with a multichannel Bryston amp with older B&W matrix speakers. It has the ability to take in multi... | |
| Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics The first B&W Matrix 801, 802 (I still have a set of the latter) included adjustment dials on the back of the module contains midrange and tweeter.perhaps a nod to the idea that YMMV.Quite possibly we should have crossovers with some caps and ... | |
| Speaker Analysis for Armchair Critics Erik:Thank you for sharing that link. I believe the article is fascinating on several levels. Thank you for possibly one of the most thought provoking posts (IMO obviously) of the year.I happen to find pleasure using several older B&W matrix ... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Atomic Blonde was a blast from the recent past.So much fun, music chosen to match the scenes so well.... it will be the first film I screen in my new HT, just to crank the tunes. | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. 1/1/2019......not 4/1 | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Jafreeman,I’m not at all embarrassed, nor likely to become embarrassed by my posts. Simply put, you posted a quote from ARC and grossly distorted it to apply to this conversation, and I called you on it. While it may be true true that PC can affec... |
