Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables?
Just because there are no arrrows 🔜 doesn’t mean a wire or cable isn’t directional. They’re all directional. Hey, granny, from somewhere in cyberspace,Exhibit A“Duelund VSF Capacitors are indeed great, but what most uses don’t realize is they are ... 
The Science of Vinyl/Analog Setups
Generally, digital provides more detail and wider frequency response. Digital also provides higher SNR and DR. So the comb tine theory falls apart. Digital is not like that at all. Actually analog is like that. Of course, I’m not referring to stoc...

Speaker Width?
It’s hard to generalize because different speakers produce different radiation patterns, the same speakers generate different acoustic patterns in different rooms, the listener position is variable and rooms without quite so many acoustic anomalie... 
Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place?
I get an uncomfortable feeling when the 6 Moons author states, “there’s a 50-50 chance a given recording features Inverted Polarity.” I’m mean how does he know?” I would sincerely like to see someone, anyone, compile a list of say fifty audiophile...

Cd's to make a come back in the future?
Clutter is very bad for the sound. The objective is, in a manner of speaking, to reduce entropy as much as you can. The system will sound a whole lot better in a relatively empty room than a room filled with CDs, LPS, videos, Books, TV, cell phone...

Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables?
Cryogenics and wire directionality are equally germane to SQ as stranded vs solid core. At least that’s how the big boys roll. pop quiz - is directionality applicable to stranded wires? Part 2 - How would you determine directionality for power cor... 
What is your approach to system fine tuning with cables and cords ?
