| New $24,000 inter-connect @ketchup That's the thing, it's all relative I originally went from a Radio Shack interconnect to a $100 Duelund. That's a multiplier of about 50x. It's only relative to a point. Beyond that point, it becomes a lie and a sham. Dueland's $100.00... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect I could care less what the rich blow their big bucks on. The problem I have is the fact that the sham of $20K+ IC cables is an insult to the legitimate manufactures and designers of fine audio gear, that's price tag has some relation, in actual va... | |
| Spatials = Done for now! @simaoThanks.......Jim | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. Now it all makes sense! Humble as it is, my system sounds very, very, good, in my dedicated listening/living room. No harsh reflections, no bass boom, just well balanced good sound. I attributed the lack of room problems to good treatments and pai... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Like many here, it seems, I started my journey into home HEA (if not as an audiophile, at least as a well engaged audio enthusiast) back in the late seventies/early 80s. 35 years ago my wages, as a craftsman, as well as a great many of other indus... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect To clarify: I do not believe that all cables sound the same, but I do know, for a fact, that all cables of the same length built to the same established standards of low capacitance, low inductance and low resistance, using quality conductors and ... | |

| New $24,000 inter-connect While it’s true that to some, $24,000. is chump change, it’s also true that (by many, many times) there are more, right here in the US. who make less than that for a year of working wages.Regardless - $24,000 has no equation to the true science, v... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers My favorite of all speakers, over the years, was, without question, the Apogee Duetta Signatures. They require a bit of space and at 2 ohm, demand a great deal of good power, but when set up properly, they make the closest thing to a live performa... | |
| Spatials = Done for now! Right now I'm quite enjoying my small set of Maggie 1.7 ribbons, but have been quite intrigued with what I've seen and heard of the Spatial M3 Turbo S and the M3 Triode Master speakers. Dollar for dollar, a real deal for incredible sounding speake... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market @tinear123 I share your feelings.In my upper mid 60s, and having a grown son and grandchildren who don't particularly share my love for HEA. My son is a builder, a doer and an avid outdoors-man and has little interest in setting still long enough ... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect @glupsonYes, you might just have a point there.....Jim | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect @jsautterPassenger? Well since I've been an audiophile, or at least a well engaged enthusiast, for about 40 years now and I was, until the closing of their US factories, a master machinist and field tech for one of the largest electronics and appa... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses Why would we put any stock or trust in the opinions of audio equipment manufactures like Roger Modjeski, Nelson Pass, Roger Sanders, or any of the rest of them. What do they know about audio or electronics, anyway?I’m thinking, though - If you hav... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers One of my first loves in speakers was the Quad ESL63. I got a pr. back in about 1984 and had them for 20 years, until having to sell because of a down size in living space. They performed flawlessly for 20 years and were still going strong and sou... |
