VAC Owners: Balanced or Single-Ended Cables???
I agree. 
Is MP3 responsible for the return of Vinyl?
Take a look at the new vinyl listings on Amazon. The majority have are rap and hip hop titles. I suppose if the OP's question is specifically directed at the increase in audiophile vinyl sales, then you might be correct. But, I suspect there is la... 
Is MP3 responsible for the return of Vinyl?
DJs scratching LP records is the reason for the resurgence of vinyl, which is happening on a larger scale outside the tiny realm of audiophiles.Novelty rather than sound quality has more to do with it. Kids are interested in what's cool, and LPs a... 
VAC Owners: Balanced or Single-Ended Cables???
Kevin Hayes told me single ended was a purer signal because the VAC balanced outputs or inputs required additional circuitry.He did not say one was better than the other, and he suggested listening to both.

Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
I mentioned Coincident early in the thread. I believe they're a good speaker to investigate. Be aware they have side firing woofers, so think about the width of the space into which they'd be placed. Not sure if a hard surface in close proximity t...
