Sorry if this was already covered in this thread, but instead of building ICs with double the conductors in parallel, can you get get the same effect by using the normal amount of conductors at twice the gauge?  Meaning, instead of parallel runs o... 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
Yes....and this change really improves on the first splitter based model....Thanks 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
No, Calender, you didn’t understand my question. I wanted to know if anyone made a parallel run with splitters and then reterminated that exact parallel run and noted an improvement. 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
Has anyone who has tried this first with splitters reterminated the parallel runs so there is only one set of RCAs and no need for splitters?  What I mean is that you'll still have double the amount of interconnect cable, but the "normal" amount o...

Just what I needed... Another way to waste time on the internet.  Cool site.  Thanks! 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I heard the Muraudio room in Florida and it sounded incredibly shrill and thin Well that doesn't sound very good. 
Thiel Owners
It has been said many times that a Thiel speaker is an Apogee or Magnepan with Bass. Having owned both Thiel and Magnepan, I could not disagree more!  I'm sure the later speakers were much better than the 3.5s, though.  I would love to hear some ... 
Thiel Owners
Thank You for sharing your 3.5 story. Which loudspeaker replaced Thiel in your system? Happy Listening! Magenpan 3.6Rs. It was a huge step up. Earlier, I said that they are at least four times better than the Thiels 3.5s, but I have to retract th...

I used to have 3.5s and drove them with a Classe CA-200 amplifier that is 200@8 and 400@4. I don’t think it was enough power. Keep your eye on the EQ box. Mine would periodically go out of whack and put the amp into protection mode. Each time it g... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Unsound dude its not nice to bad rap PASS So we should say everything is either great or not say anything at all?  Why should he not state his opinion?  Isn't that the whole point of the thread?  The way you think is one of the biggest things wr... 
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
Hi jetter,You don't sound like a broken record at all.  I just installed the Goertz cables a couple of weeks ago.  I can install the zobels, but I don't see any reason to right now.  I never heard that an amp can be damaged slowly by using capacit...

Sorry, George, I was comparing similar amps to each other.  What you linked to is not even close and then you mentioned something that doesn't even exist yet.   
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
heatsinks on the back@pops-  That might be the difference right there. My CA-200 is the later one with the heatsinks on the sides. My Magnepans are basically a resistive load, though. I’m not sure if that has something to do with keeping the amp ...

Check out this Nord amp.  It is the exact same price in USD as the Hypex NC400 kit, but it comes with the NC500 module, an input buffer, a bigger power supply, and it's already assembled.https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-nc500d...

The latest Icepower modules (IceEdge 1200AS1 and AS2) are not sold directly to end users but to OEMs only. They are way, way better sounding than any other Icepower module......and even better than Ncore NC400 and NC500 modules.Which exact ampl...
