Do powercords make a difference in sound?
A word of caution with the newer Volex 14/3 or Volex 17604 power cords. I purchased a pair of Volex 17604s a couple of months ago and just noticed recently that the ones I had purchased look a lot like the stock power cords that came with various ... 
Hafler DH 500 update?
Elizabeth makes some very valid points. Just for a tech to look over an amp by me is now $60 to $75 depending on the equipment. Then after all their work they could be into you for hundreds and if you were to sell the DH500 you would lose out. Mus... 
Biwire jumpers as speaker cables?
I guess this would be possible but I've only seen short jumpers. At most 12". If somehow you could get your amp that close to a speaker wouldn't you then have vibration issues with the speaker being so close to the amp when music is playing? 
Adromada III or sumo nine
Hi Brian_enoGlad you are enjoying the Sumo amp you acquired. What is Revision C on the Nine Plus you have? Does that mean you have a 3rd generation Sumo Nine Plus? I don't think I've ever read anywhere about different revisions for the Sumo amps.M... 
Do powercords make a difference in sound?
DUCK and COVER!!!! The fight begins yet again!Trust me check the archives to research this topic. It has been debated for years and will continue to be debated but there have been lots of threads about tihs.Also to add onto what Metralla said. Def... 
Can all headphones handle HIGH Volume levels?
I agree with Lloydlee21. Get a pair of Sennheisers. Specifically the HD580 to HD650 line. I have the HD580s and bass wise I love them for when I listen to Hip-Hop and Electronic music. I had the HD580s mated with a Schiit Audio Valhalla. I've read... 
Isolation transformer
I have 2 Topaz Isolation transformers and Tice Powerblock in the various systems I have. I forget the parasitic nature of them. I guess I always thought of them as superchargers. I measured their consumption with a Kill-A-Watt and the 1.8 KVA ITs ... 
please help the audionoob find headphones??
I have the Sony MDR-V6's on your list and I have enjoyed them with the headphone jack from my Outlaw Model 990 and from the headphone jack of my Dell laptop at work. They are a very neutral sounding headphone. Bass and treble were just right to me... 
Modern day equivalent for KEF 105/3 speakers
Hi 4musica44107Thanks for chiming in as well. I took a look at some Aerial 10T listings out in A'gon currently as well as some threads in the archives. They must sound amazing. I think they look nice too. They are a bit bigger than the 105/3s and ... 
Modern day equivalent for KEF 105/3 speakers
Hi StanwalThanks for chiming in and sharing your thoughts. 8 pairs of speakers 20+ years old. You sound like my godfather. He has all sorts of vintage Tannoy, Klipsch, JBL and B&W speakers. I do prefer the aesthetics of the KEF 105/3s vs the e...

Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it?
Hi Mitch4tIf you already have the vinyl recordings on CD or other media and they sound the same to you then just unload all that vinyl. Keep your most treasured records and get rid of the rest. No point in having the duplicates if their is no diff... 
G'N'R Chinese Democracy LP
I think some songs sound like the original GnR. The Blues to me sounds like it was a B-Side from the Use Your Illusion albums. Madagascar seems also like an extension of Use Your Illusion type songs. A lot of songs really are Axl letting loose wit... 
What features should a good CD player have?
What about the Sony XA5400ES? I've seen those go for $806 + $20 in shipping on a popular auction site. I've read those are the real deal in terms of build quality and SQ. Then you can also have Modwright make it even better. 
Record Clamps?
One thing I forgot to ask as well is how does one tell what the appropriate weight for the record weight should be? I've seen some record weights range from .76 lbs to sometimes a little over 3 lbs. Thanks again.
