Problem with these tests is you really can't set up one that works. There are just too many emotional and physical aspects. I believe it is true that we suffer from a very short audio memory. Then there is our mood, time of day, do we like the mus...

Frogman, you don't list your equipment so, I don't know if you have tried this. There is what we like to call "grunge" in the electricity that comes to our homes. It can be audible in some systems. There is a way to remove it that is based on soun...

Frogman, thank you. I am one of those experienced audiophiles that have formed a preference for certain cables in my system. Formed by comparing several brands, some common, some exotic and expensive, while trying to help a friend decide what he s...

The small sunroom system is a room I added on to our house, the master bedroom.It isn't designed as a audio room so the furnishings and dimensions came first and the audio came last. It is 14'x23' and I am not sure about the ceiling height.If I wa...

Rok2idIf you don't read my posts carefully you would think that my belief is that cables, conditioners, stands, are a bunch of nonesense. A glance at either one of my posted systems show I know each can be helpful.Wire can, in some systems, make s...

"Is there a wire that will make my Lsi15's sound like the Wilson MAXX??"I don't think that there is a speaker cable that can do that. While there is no way to do all the scientific, double blind, etc. tests that some would demand (just the boredom...

Once you own a pick up truck you can never go back. Maybe a second car but, always have to have a pick up truck. It carries stuff.

Onhwy61, Yes, I don't like yours. I like mine better, I made better choices, you should have bought what I bought. But, since your signature indicates a liking of Bob Dylan, I'll give you a seal of approval just the same.

And again, I believe that cables, sometimes, can improve a system. That is why I don't use zip cord. Based on your post it seems what you did to improve your system makes sense. Now if you paid $2500 a 1 meter pair throughout your system, which wh...

Tubegroover, thanks for letting us know. I don't know what the question was but, somehow you managed to fill us in nicely.HiFisoundguy, good choice in cables. Tell us more.Elizabeth, hang in there, I got it.

Thanks, HiFisoundguy but, I'm not looking for speakers at the moment. I'll be sure and not pass up a chance to audition them should I see them somewhere."How can anyone say.. you could have done better when you have not even listened to these new ...

Just yanking your chain, Rok2id. I could tell you had a sense of humor.Back in the olden days when I was in college, 901s were coveted by lots of people. I envied my friends that could afford them. I have nothing against them. They have shortfalls...

Meant, your reasoning was well put forth. Don't know how the extra put got in there. 
A true believer
Frogman, thank you for the reasonable explanation for a reason to allocate so much to tweaks and cables. You put reasoning was well put forth. As to the system I am referring to, I suspect it really is in the owners imagination, I didn't add it up...

I literally worked all over the world including many 3rd world countries. To the vast majority of the world's population spending $93.00 on a stereo would be extravagant. But, you keep missing the point. We aren't giving our thoughts on total cost...
