    Custom cloth cable cover for my 'phones

    It mutes 90% of microphonics, and it just looks great. It is almost satisfying how it gives a warm kind of weight. Took me about an hours time. It looks great with the red color of the cups. anyway, yeah, that's it.

    Surround setup decoupling back speakers question

    So, I’m having a very specific situation that I don’t find the exact answer for, so here it goes: I have recently acquired a pair of KEF R3’s, R11’s and a R2c. The 11’s run on an integrated Yamaha A-S1100 and soon I’ll have the Yamaha RX-A4A receiver. Both will be connected through the Pre-OUT...

    Corrosion Prevention on Outdoor Connectors

    I just installed new banana plugs and had to chop over an inch of wire to get away from the corrosion. A few more times like this and I'll run out of length on these long runs of cable that are inside wall and neatly stapled through the patio area. What's the ticket for weatherproofing these...

    MIT Universal Terminator Module T-4 - What is this thing?

    A bit of googling, but still no good information. What is this thing? There was one of these stuck on to the back of each of the very nice ProAc speakers I recently picked up. I immediately removed them, thinking it's a gimmicky or otherwise useless device. Anyone know what it is, what it does...

    Which MIT cables for vintage Spectral components?

    Hi, I couldn’t pass on a nice Spectral DMA-100S and DMC-12 power/pre-amp combo that was available locally. I plan to use it as a second all analogue vintage system in addition to my main system. I read statements like “you must use MIT cables” all over the manuals but they don’t specify which...

    Denon DP-45F - Worth it to replace RCA cables?

    I have a Denon DP-45F and it works great - but the cables that came with the turntable are the originals from like 1983 and show a bit of wear where they would bend closest to the phono connection on my receiver/amp. Since the ground wire is part of the wiring coming out of the turntable, is it...

    I've been recently trying to improve sound of my system that includes Fortes II - sound was somewhat imbalanced, guitars and vocal sounded harsh and unclear that was most noticeable with more dynamic music (Guns'N'Roses "Ain't it fun" as an example), but actually can be applied to anything that...

    I lived overseas during the 1980s (I’m American). The only audio magazines I saw were British, so I don’t know if the furor was repeated in the US audio press. The discussion of wires and cables as independent components, of greater or lesser quality, had only recently begun — and a highly...

    Core Power Technologies EQ cords

    I bought one of their Equi=Core 300 models back in the summer of 2016. They advertise as if it's a power cord, but actually it's a Balanced Power transformer device with built in cords. The 300 in the name means I could only plug in 300 watts of equipment, so my preamp, DAC, and server got to...

    Speaker Jumper Cable Experiences

    Hi All, So I keep reading that replacing the stock speaker jumpers with bona-fide cables results in an improvement in sound from the speakers. I may try this out but I wonder what experiences others have had in doing this? I am on the fence. Thanks for your thoughts and time.....
