"The new audio product manufacture always been at Venetian Hotel."Not always. I can tell you for sure that it used to be at the Mirage. I think the Sahara as well. 
Better 2-channel music
In one ear and out the other. Bob, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. If I had to explain how clueless you are when it comes to audio, I'd have no choice but to wright a book.Well Philkoan, you're going to have to start over. W... 
Better 2-channel music
I bet you guys thought I was a little hard on Bob. lol. He does have a way with words. Take these for example."A problem with the 2-channel solutions suggested is that they all ignore the speaker/room interaction."I see a couple of things here I d... 
Puzzle: exceptional sound in custom amphitheater
"You would not enjoy the sound of your stereo system if played outside. Sitting in front of the speaker pair in your backyard, the music would be lifeless, robbed of important information supplied not by the speakers, but by the walls themselves. ... 
Better 2-channel music
"06-17-15: PhilkoanI don't have a chance to try some quality preamps, but I think direct connection from the Oppo 103D to a pair of Emotiva XPA-1 gives the purest sound I have ever heard."I'm glad you found a solution. The only thing better than g... 
McIntosh MA5200
"I'm the type of Audiogoner who like high end sound but doesn't always understand a lot of the science behind the specs. :)"Its like my dead grandmother always said: "You don't have to be a scientist to listen to music." 
Idea for Audio and Power Cables
Never mind. I didn't read your post correctly. If we're talking about cars that have liquid cooled cables, its not snake oil. Batteries usually work better at lower temperatures. 
Idea for Audio and Power Cables
"Could help wondering how quickly the snake oilers will come up with liquid cooled cables for "super charging" your audio setup .. based on Tesla's recent moves"You may want to have another look at the link you posted. Did you read it? 
Right Channel Hum on my VPI Scoutmaster
"06-16-15: TerrybbagitI would say that yes it is very possible, even though you turned down the volume the junction box is still hot."What do you mean by hot? The only electricity that runs through it comes from the phono cartridge itself. 
Ayre or CJ With Vienna Acoustics Kiss
"If I swap out the Krell for the Ayre MX R's, I'll keep the Cary SLP 05 pre but am unsure if it's a good match."I have experience with both brands and they're both favorites of mine. But they are very different. Doing the above is probably your sa... 
Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades.
You did list it as one of your upgrade choices and it does make a nice difference. I would say that if you have a line conditioner that regenerates, like a PS Audio P500, maybe go with a different upgrade. If not, the quality of your AC will effec... 
krell CD Player Recommendations
I've heard Krell CD players many times and never cared for them. Why go through the trouble of finding an old CD player that you'll have a difficult time finding parts for? To get equal or better sound than something like a 300CD, you can get some...

Get the speed control.

I'm not trying to 2nd guess your decision, or anything like that. We're just recommending that if you have all the equipment already in your possession, you've got nothing to loose trying it both ways, vertical and bridged. Honestly, I can't say i... 
Jeff Rowland
I also agree with the vertical biamp recommendation. I do this in my own system and get great results. All you need are 2 stereo amps (exactly the same), and a pair of speakers with 2 sets of binding posts. You have both so its just a matter of ma...
