Good lookin' speaker drivers
It doesn't matter, nor would even enter my buying decision, as to what a driver looks like as long as it sounds great. My Tonians use Lowthers and look like they mean business, IMO, and sound like it.What would bother me is an unsightly cabinet, b... 
single ended cable crossed at bi wireable speaker?
Audiopanda,I understand where experimenting with speaker cables of differing properties can negatively affect the sound where the crossovers are but in my case, I have Tonian Labs TL-D1s which use a Lowther widebander with a customized Raven super... 
I think they're making fun of us...

single ended cable crossed at bi wireable speaker?
Douglas, Understood. Looks like my next step is to stay with the same make and go for the Mapleshade Double Helix. Others here say it is a big step up from my regular Helix cables.Thanks for the in depth response!All the best,Nonoise 
TEAC AI-3000 Integrated Amp Review
Thanks for the review. I've always wondered if the new Distinction series would not only measure up but catch on as well. The TEAC PD-H600 that I have is considered 'Esoteric Lite' and with the intervening years it sounds like some more of that Es... 
single ended cable crossed at bi wireable speaker?
Douglas, Maybe it's time manufacturers stop trying to make an all-in-one cable and do what they can to convince the audiophools out there (and here) that there are benefits to using two or more separate cables, looks be damned. (All of what I'm ta... 
single ended cable crossed at bi wireable speaker?
I've gone the bi-wire route and love the sound I'm getting. it doesn't look as neat as a single cable but I could really care less. It's the sound that matters.All the best,Nonoise

Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal?
Dla405j.BRAVO! What PP did, in bending to some very overreaching, onerous and draconian efforts was deplorable, to say the least. But the power behind those motives could have put them out of business: they could have fought but they wouldn't be e... 
break-in--bane or boon ??
Mapman, I couldn't stop laughing at that one.Aren't the Yankees damned anyway?Thanks.Al, I understand the other variables you mention but if the ones you list were the ones responsible, then the improvement wouldn't stick around as long as it has.... 
break-in--bane or boon ??
When I've heard a change due to break in, not swapping, it wasn't subtle and it wasn't huge. This was not black and white, big or small, dramatic or ordinary. My system can easily discern a cable change, a CD mat insertion, a change of footers, IC...
