What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses?
Hi adam, welcome to the world of aftermarket hifi fuses. Virtually all such makers start with a cheap existing fuse and then modify it. This very often results in better sound than the stock fuse, but is, like you say, kind of a sham considering h... 
Dedicated line: 10 gauge solid core or 8 gauge stranded
Many thanks! 
Does the first reflection point actually matter??
+1 Dennis Foley, he's the real deal. 
Does the first reflection point actually matter??
Thank you, sir.

If there's a twisted 10/2, I never ran across it.

Does the first reflection point really matter? For my 2 cents, how sound reproduction interacts with the room is a Very complex subject.The original problem for the writers back in the day? Sure, they could all see how important it was, but it all... 
Dedicated line: 10 gauge solid core or 8 gauge stranded
@galpi If you can justify it, particularly if it’s new construction (as opposed to remodel), I might try to separate out your subs from the rest of the system...unless you never listen above half your available amp power (at half amp power - not h...

@gs5556, that sounds pretty intriguing and I don't recall coming across anything like that before (i.e. the usual electrical supply houses). What is the name of that item and where did you find it?Thanks,John

10 gauge solid core, solid copper is what you want A) because it’s likely the max code where you are, check and then double check in your area to be sure and B) stranded will likely give more audio problems as it ages. There are times when the boo... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
If you find that your system, as you increase its quality, makes that kind of music sound worse to you, then the idea that increased resolution of the system is responsible for that is seemingly the only logical conclusion. I get it. I don't doubt... 
Has Radicalizing the Rig Led to Revolutionized Listening?
I’m 60, and indeed for a few years there as my system-building phase neared completion about 5 years ago, I too shifted more and more toward the acoustic. But, about a year ago, I sorta rediscovered my rock roots all over again (this time with the... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
@jjss49 I think I might buy all that. However nicely presented or laid out at corporate level it looks, by the time you get down to street level it's generally more of ceaseless knife fight, everybody looking for their advantage. But, that's capit... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
Coming to expect (pursue) "high resolution" first above other considerations, only to discover that it reveals other flaws in the system has nothing to do with the high end and, in and of itself, can only represent intermediate levels of system bu... 
"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial
...exactly. The same recording on different systems can have a different impact on a listener as to it’s inherent quality. Is there really no such thing as ’relative recording quality’...I don’t actually know. I just know that as a group, we audio... 
Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought.
