Beware!!! Everyone and all American citizen, you must not buy anything from BH Hi-Fi
Not having Paypal is not a problem, it takes a mere minute to set it up.So no fsking excuses for that. If Audigon does not have an escrow function it needs it. Else transfer the transaction to ebay. 
Best deal on unterminated bulk silver speaker cable for budget audiophiles
Move the amps closer to the speakers.You can buy less costly microphone cable from the pro dealers which is likely the same as was used during the recording 😁.Skin effect also affects the audio range. Use separate insulated strands of AWG #27 or t... 
Are high sample rates making your music sound worse?
Upsampling does not increase resolution it only makes possible to make the filtering easier. The point of 192KHz sampling is not to hear it, but NOT to hear it.I second the notion that CD re-issues of old vinyl masters is disappointing. But more c... 
If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you.
Can those speakers be driven with my 96/32 DAC in my LG V20 cellphone?😁 
The Future of Audio Amplification
You can mess up any amplifier operating class. The specific implementation is more important.Class A implies better quality than D or inverse F, but that "class" system is not a value scale.Class A sets the zero signal in the middle of the operati... 
Tube info
There are more parts than tubes in an amp that affect sound. I have replaced noisy metal film resistors in $12,000 amps that had gone high resistance and very noisy.Replaced them with wirewound resistors for better than original sound.Of course co... 
New $24,000 inter-connect
Must sound 24,000 times better than the $1.00 cables that comes in box.The problem is not the seller, it is the buyer. Or maybe these cables are really hollow and exported from Colombia? 
Filter capacitor issue
There is no room for guesswork in electronics. If you can't explain everything in that schematic diagram find somebody else to do it.If you don't have a schematic and better yet a sevice manual don't even try to do the surgery. Some little detail ... 
Isolated Ground causes ground hum.
Don't understand why you would want to add ground.If you live in the USA your household 120V power has a ground wire for protection from isolation failures as to make the breaker pop.The neutral is connected the center-tap on the 240V transformer ... 
The Future of Audio Amplification
Class A biasing is the easiest to get the most linearity from a tube/transistor. The other classes are a result of minimizing heat generation, and related detrimental effects.Throw enough time and money at a problem and it can likely be solved.The... 
Education: Best place for Audio Engineering?
Most good products are engineered by experienced engineers with many years of actual field work and product design experience.Schools will teach you the basics. Seldom a pure  academic would be able to launch a sucessful product and make big bucks... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
Its not just a question of Vinyl vs. Digital.Spend big money and effort on a problem and you will likely find success.Music is emotional and so are audiophiles. This will affect the judgment of the comparison.There are great differences between re...
