Upgrades and repairs on hi fi components
https://www.vujadeaudio.com/ Great service, quick turn around. I’ve had repairs and upgrades done by them. Not just always satisfied, but pleasantly surprised by the new sound I get out of my vintage equipment with their very reasonably priced up... 
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
I believe far too many people worry about what others think about their equipment.  Who cares? Does it sound good to YOU?  Do YOU enjoy it? If so, enjoy it then. Goof around with it hear and there looking for improvements if you wish always making... 
Harman Kardon HD 7400 Displays E, won't play
The player has been sent back to the folks who did the work on it. I'll report whatever they tell me is the problem in the hopes that it may help somebody else.  
Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....?
Are your ears happy? If so, you're in the highest of Hi-Fi worlds.  
Harman Kardon HD 7400 Displays E, won't play
Well I will if needed. I figured I would ask about the situation here first. If it's something really simple, it would save the time and cost of shipping it back and forth again.  Also, I'm certain it tested out perfectly fine before they sent it... 
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
My own conscience says never buy a knockoff of anything. It cheats the people who took the time and money to develop a good product. I do not have an unlimited budget though. What I did was get a very nice set of speaker cables when they went on ...

Quality of Sirius XM
I have Sirius-XM hooked up to my main system. It does not sound nearly as good as CD's. But it is useful for hearing things I don't own or haven't heard in years. If something really catches my attention, I buy the CD and enjoy it more. FM is al... 
Are you on or off? What say you?

power cable
Yes builder3. Chords are for music. Cords are for electrical purposes. But then the power chord comes in. "A power chord play is a colloquial name for a chord in guitar music, especially electric guitar, that consists of the root note and the fi... 
Room acoustics basics
After I purchased speaker cables from Morrow Audio I received an offer to sign up for their Tweaks Newsletter. I received the first one and it was pretty basic ( what the OP wanted ) yet informative. It quickly and informatively described treating... 
My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!!
In 1990 I bought the best audio equipment I could afford. It is much better than I had ever had before. I have had it ever since. I enjoy it. Now, 33 years later, some of the equipment has started to fail. I am almost done sending stuff out to ha... 
10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp?
If you do end up sending it in to McIntosh for repair bear in mind I'm told it's a 1 year wait at the moment for non-warranty repairs.This came directly from an employee.   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I had a Soundcraftsman 15 band per channel EQ that added noise to my system. I now have a Harman Kardon EQ8 that is dead quiet when in use, but.... I had a guy who's a professional musician, piano tuner etc. play with it for over an hour. I test...
