| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? The only way something can truly experience a "burn-in" is if something physically changes. Think about that -- what is PHYSICALLY changing with the cable? Ok, now you have your answer. | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS I avoid UPS at all costs. The last piece of gear I bought was shipped via UPS (I forgot to specify against UPS). It was double-boxed by the seller yet arrived damage anyway. From what I can imagine based on the damages, I estimate the box was dr... | |
| Cable Burn In Ask yourself this question -- after the "burn in" what physically has changed in that cable? | |
| Classe Audio rises again Good to hear as I really like Classe products. I think they are a great value. However, all my experience has been with products that are probably over 15 years old. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp You should consider some Klipschorns. Seriously! Yes, they are large, but if you have good corners, they actually don't take up very much space at all -- who actually uses their corners (except for Klipschorn owners)? | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? The laws of physics can't be broken. If the rationale came in the form of a memo, it came from the marketing department. Fuses do not make a difference. Do you want to believe science or do you want to believe marketing? It's up to you to deci... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Complete snake oil.Spend your money on room treatments -- that is will be where you will actually hear some benefits. | |
| Directionality of wire Without all those arrows on the cables, how are those little tiny electrons going to know which way to go? They'll get lost! If the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math, then high end cables are a tax on audiophiles who are bad at science. | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Try Radio Shack. Fuses don't impact sound!If the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math, then high end fuses are a tax on audiophiles who are bad at science. | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound This is going to sound crazy at first (maybe longer than that), but if you have two good corners in your room, you might want to consider some Klipschorns. Yes, those giant speakers are what I'm suggesting. Now hear me out. If you do have two g... | |
| Is Audio nirvana real? Yes, it is real. But to get there, don't focus on getting systems that are accurate, have great imaging, or the various other characteristics that audiophools strive for. Search for a system that is MUSICAL above all else. Only then will you reac... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? A member I consider to be very knowledgeable with speakers often said something to the effect of "there have been no major advancements in loudspeaker design since the 1930s, other than making bad speakers sound better (i.e., direct radiators)." I... | |
| Jeff Rowland Amplifiers Jeff Rowland is the best solid-state amplifier I had owned. Then I went with tubes and have never looked back. | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? If you have the space, order up some Klipsch Jubilees and you'll never have the desire to buy new speakers again. Be forewarned, each one is about the size of a large refridgerator. | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure I've heard many speakers in my time -- including many systems costing way over $100,000. I'm not one that hasn't been around when it comes to audio systems -- I'm no novice. I own Klipschorns and had considered making speaker "upgrades" at one po... |
