My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
@dep14,Looks like you have a perfect room size for sound. With you treatments, you should have 10 times more of a chance of good sound than most. I also got lucky and now have a room that will bring the best out of a system, and is treated to mini...

I know the last couple of days have been discussion of speaker cables. I've been using the same stranded and twisted 8 guage OFC copper cables with some silver content for the last 7 years. Just put fresh terminations on them a year ago. I have an...

I'm wondering if there are any thoughts on Kimber Cable speaker wire. Going back to the seventies, these things were in the showrooms. It's the TC Series that I wanted to get some feedback on. Kimber Cable 8TC and 12TC are affordable, but as of 20...

@MrD,In regard to the Morrow Audio cable change in design.....I have quite a bit of their cables, and really liked the sound that they produced compared to others tried in my system. Call me impressed would be an understatement. After break-in, th...

I knew that I was stirring the pot with my concept of keeping the jumpers in with a not true bi-wiring type of setup. As stated, I would say that exploring that route could not hurt. My principles have me balking at "true bi-wiring". I feel the de...

I didn't realize that you were using two different speaker cables. Oh my? I know people will call me crazy (which I could be), but I would still try 2 exact copies of the speaker cable of choice and leave the jumpers in. This will give you double ...

WCSS,Sorry I wasn't trying to rush you on the AR amps. Silly me sometimes trolls the AR website looking at the goodies they produce. I get excited easily, as you can see!

Speaking of amplifiers.... I noticed some Audio Research REF 250s and a REF 750 at reasonable pricing. Some day trying a pair of these monoblocks may bring some of the sharp edges of digital music to listenable with less fatigue. Music tracks that...

Class D may be the future for some. But I still prefer Class A and it's smoothness. I had a very nice sounding Class D NuPrime STA-9 that worked well with my Martin Logan ESLs. I longed for more power...... but I realized that when I bought my 1st...

I should have mentioned that using jumper cables of the same speaker cable is a good step up for better sound quality. It is a crapshoot that it will sound better. But one that I think is worth trying if you are looking to expand on the sound qual...

I LOVE the innards of those Block Audio Monoblocks. The design of them are quite "up my alley". What's the price tag of a pair new?

It would make sense that 2 sets of wires are going to transmit more sound to the speaker. I think you can bi-wire with or without the straps that connect the two for a single speaker cable. I look at it this way. I use 8 gauge OFC braided wire to ...

@Viber6,I do like analog EQ a lot better than digital. Spent over 40 years in the audiophile car stereo scene. Talk about some systems needing EQ, that's an understatement. I still found that using 2 analog EQs (one for front, and one for back spe...

It’s good to see you getting great sound without tone controls. The original formula of trying out different amps now show promise. I feel like such an a-- now that I had thought that there was some kind of design flaw in the Neolith (that it wasn...
