Audiophile speakers that rock well
That they are. Fritz prefers to hand deliver the tower versions. Too big a chance they'll be damaged when shipped. 
Pangea power cords
I was using PS Audio Plus SC cables exclusively in my stereo. I purchased Pangea AC-14 cables for my home theater's Pioneer Elite SC-25 receiver and KRP-500M plasma and was very impressed with their build quality so I decided to try the Pangea cab... 
fritz carbon 7 vs gallo starda's
I am the owner who replaced my Paradigm Reference 100 v.4's with Fritz's Carbon 7's. I could not be happier. I loved my 100's but the PAL dome's treble began to be fatiguing, especially at higher volumes. The silk domes on the Carbon 7's are oh so... 
Audiophile speakers that rock well
I think you would be amazed by the Fritz Carbon 7. I replaced a pair of Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v.4's with a pair. Huge bang for the buck from a small boutique manufacturer. They do everything you would ever want from an audiophile speaker, ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Von Schweikert Audio UniField 3 
Smallest speakers that ROCK
I've found that Paradigm Reference Studio 20's can rock pretty hard and the 40's even moreso... I would imagine the Signature series models would do even better.Martin 
Best Outer Sleeves for LPs
This is another vote for Sleeve City Ultimate Outer 5.0 mil sleeves - a great product from a great company. I also recommend their Mobile Fidelity Master inner Sleeves. 
Input /output caps
I found great, inexpensive shorting / non-shorting RCA caps on eBay. (They have a threaded removable center pin.) $12 for 10, $18 shipped. Just search "RCA caps". I received them within 2 days and they work as designed. No affiliation. I have not ... 
Inexpensive $200/pair Active Monitors
Some other speakers to consider here - making things a little more difficult...I currently have an ACS340 Altec Lansing 2.1 system that sounds decent but it does suffer from one-note bass boom. I am looking to improve the sound over what I have. I... 
Anyone else in my shoes? Ears going.........
My tinnitus is most evident when it is quietest. At my desk in my office it is as loud as my PC fans or the sound of air blowing from the central air conditioner. At night it can be quite raucous. It is completely unnoticeable when I am listening ... 
AudioEngine 2 vs AudioEngine5?
I think you need to consider price. The Audioengine a2's are $200 a pair, the a5's are $325 and the KRK VXT6 are $900! Of course a $450 speaker is going to sound better than a $100 one! I am with the op, I am looking for a good sounding pair of su... 
anyone use ikea for lp racks?
I had been looking into using West Elm 3x2 Rolling Storage units to store LPs but they are $399 each. The 2x2 Expedit at $59 each looks to be a much more affordable alternative. Can anyone who owns one comment on whether the frame would support ad... 
Artists that sound alike - your best match-up
Godsmack (Sully Erna) & Metallica (James Hetfield) 
What are you using to clean plasma screen?
I use Kimwipes and Sprayway formula 40 graphic arts glass cleaner. I have used them exclusively for all glass and plastic surfaces since being introduced to them more than 30 years ago when I started an apprenticeship shooting negatives in a print...
