| What amps should I audition? looking for amps or anything else is not as simple as it appears. ordinarily. settling the electrical mating of amp and speakers is top priority. that part seems settled given the chosen speakers have great eff. I’ve found thru the years amps ... | |
| How to assess and quantify system improvement and changes? good luck with this one. really! I wish you do figure it out, but the variables in this quest are innumerable. the predominate issue is Audiophillia Nervousa is a self diagnosed disease. as such, EVERYTHING then becomes purely the beholder’s v... | |
| Review: Synergistic Research resolution Refference X2 active Interconnect @ stevethe4thGiven their age alone, unless I felt a serious need to migrate into something newer and was in fact enjoying the sound quality itself, I’d keep ‘em.

| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable @in_shoreMy curiosity grows on the PSA WAVE setup. Albeit, given the biz with DSD vs all other formats, I believe I’ll aim for merely Red Book playback DACs. If they have more attributes or support more BR and SR then fine.Have you found via comp... | |

| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable @tom_hankinsHmmm. Did not know the Carbon was available as a SPDIF. Thought it was just a USB wire. Good.Do you feel the Carbon is similar in either respect, USB or SPDIF, acoustically or sonically speaking of course?Thanks.. . . . . . . . . . . ... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables stunning discourse! had to chime in on this one. especially given the note on how these escalated performance over SR Apex and or Tesla. having had the Apex and not been absolutely floored by their influence, I'll admit they were a strong performe... | |

| Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? Hi!ICs can indeed improve SS width. SS height and depth to a lesser degree. I’ve found it takes a combination of decent to quality cabling from the outlets to the speakers for the SS to be fully expanded, either artificially or with adherence to... | |
