Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
Hello,so I hadn’t planned on chiming in until I read a comment on the second page about Audioquest type 4 speaker wire.All I can say is 7or 8 years ago ago I owned 5 ten ft. runs of it for a surround system. It worked wonderful for movies and tv,w... 
Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels.
Hello guys,telling the poor man to buy Martin Logan’s,are you kidding,don’t kick the guy when he’s down,atleast now his system sounds good at higher levels,don’t strip him of that too. Don’t get me wrong,mls are wonderful for home theater,but musi... 
What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?
Well one specific thing I’ve read hear is 100 percent wrong,you don’t need to “live with them for a good long while” to hear a difference in speaker wire. After switching them out,you will hear a difference in 30 seconds of listening,period. After... 
Power cable education needed
Well honestly,I’m amazed that there is still so many people commenting that after market power cords don’t make a difference. The only reasons I can fathom is they either haven’t ever tried a better power cord,have hearing that’s sub-par,or are ju...

One Cord To Rule Them All
After 30 years of trying different power cords and reading reviews written bye professionals,I found the most balanced and wonderful sounding power cord I have ever listened too,the Triode Wire Labs Obsession NCF.It is sold at a very reasonable pr... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
More power to ya if you can be happy listening to a 400.00$ amp.Good luck you’ll need it.I wish I could.My ears craved better sound than that when I was 14 years old,mowing lawns to feed my addiction to Hi-Fi. After 40 years I’ve spent about 250k.... 
HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.
Hello Sir,I’m really sorry to hear about your situation.But after driving tractor trailer for almost 20 years,this does not surprise me at all.Most times when freight is loaded,the pallet is pushed up to the one in front of it,rarely strapped in.A... 
Looking for a new phono preamp
As for a phono stage recommendation,I would look into the line up from Whest.They are manufactured in the U.K.and only build high quality s.s. phono stages.Since they only concentrate on phonos,all their models are built to a very high standard,ar... 
What did your system look like 30 years ago?
This system I scrimped every penny I could come across to put together at the time.It had a synergy that was hard to beat,and was awfully cool to look at,let alone listen to.Pre amp was an MFA Magus c,MFA D-75 stereo 75 watt tube amp.Most all tube... 
Considering going back to Solid State
Hello Sir,l also ran a ARC 5se preamp for about 3 years or so.Power was from a set of REF 210 monos.Although I was happy with the sound,I was also tired of the heat,power consumption and tube replacement,I listen as much as I can.What the answer f...

KLAudio is stopping production of their Ultrasonic record cleaner.
Sorry guys, all that sounds exhausting,I've owned an Audio Desk pro for about 18 months now.I clean every record I have,new or old before playing the first time and it works perfectly.About five minutes for a really great cleaning,and your good to... 
Vinyl from Barnes & Noble
Just a little off topic,I purchased a CD from B&N,was a great price and I was quite happy until it showed up .B&N farmed out the order to a book store in Indiana,they sent me a copy from (remember the old record clubs) like 10 for 5 cents-...
