Audio as a weapon
Producing the frequency that a glass resonates with... given enough volume... will cause the glass to shatter.  Guess what.  Human flesh also has a resonance point. Its a lower frequency too.  
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
Impedance mismatching is a problem that will leave an otherwise great passive preamp sounding less than it should. Why I did not see anyone here mention the Luminous Audio Axiom?  When you they want to know several things about what you listen wit... 
Interconnects and non-believers
I think I solved this perplexing enigma as why I hear obvious differences with cables and fuses, and others think it is crazy. Only last week I decided to try a new preamp ... the brand I will not mention.  When I had it in my system it sounded pl... 
Getting into Tube Equipment
>>>>> BTW Jerry Garcia always insisted on Mcintosh gear back in the day. <<<<<Yes... they started with tubed Mac's.  When they changed to solid state the sound changed not for the better.  A friend I worked with (in... 
Luxman vs Pass Labs
Why are you not happy with the Pass Labs?  There comes a point where such choices are a matter of switching things to try. But, its because something else in your system is the unknown problem. 
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
WATT uses inert cabinets.  Yet,*internal bracing* with all the wood combinations mentioned, will drastically cut down on resonance and vibration.  Keep in mind, drum sets consist of wood plies or solid wood, and they get their unique tone from the... 
Schiit not shipping
It should shipped soon!    It took five truck loads. UPS has reported delivering 3 tons of roughage just the other day..  
Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ?
If you want much of the benefits of solid core, but with flexibility?   Litz wire would give you that benefit.  Pangea combines solid core with litz.... both worlds in one cord.  
Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000
If you are going to spend that kind of money...  You may want to wait to see what PS Audio is about to produce using special ribbon and drivers. I believe the late  Arnie Nudell had a hand in their design.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa8nqlLs3w... 
What is an excellent power cable?
I really wonder.... If those who claimed to have bad experiences with the Pangea cables have a vested interest elsewhere.  I never heard any of the negatives that some here are claiming.  If they were genuinely bad experiences? Its still no reason... 
Why are my woofers pumping?
>>>>>> I can see it, even if I don’t hear it. Why does it happen? The woofers behave normally (no pumping) with digital music, and when the stylus it lifted from the groove, so it is not the speakers, amps, preamp or phono stage... 
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)
Very small company.  Various models to choose from. These do what speakers are supposed to do, without any fancy extras that do not make the sound more accurate.   Phase coherent - first order crossovers of the highest quality.   http://nsmt-louds... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
Is everyone's hearing ability equal?    
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
You’re only out to prove that you are not missing something that others can hear. Why should we who do hear it, want to prove to you, that there is something you can not hear?  Double blind tests is not the way.  Live with something for a while an... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
I would much prefer "I can see testing."   Live with something for about a day, week, month and notice if you will be surprised by details and nuances that you never heard before.  Double blind is stupid.  You run it on a system you are not famili...
