    Appeasing your other half (wife / girlfriend etc)

    Hi You're not suggesting that audiophiles are a bunch of wussies, are you? Or that they are dominated by the weaker sex, are you? Are you? ARE YOU? Muhahahahahaha....  :point: Regards

    Interconnects & Cables

    Hi The problem is that until there are definitive cable selection criteria (and indeed other areas of hifi, too) it will always be a swampy ground of opinion. And that in turn is a swampy ground of intolerance. Me, I go with what my ears can hear; the rest is hearsay  8). Regards

    Transmissionline

    Hi German hifi doesn't normally exaggerate (well, not too much in my experience) but it is always good to get an independent review, of course. I don't know those you mention but I have been pondering over these http://www.aos-lautsprecher.de/deutsch/lautsprecher/classic/studio100.html. The...

    BRILLIANT IDEAS... AV on a budget, or not.

    Done that one before. You have to coat them very thickly with polyurethane or similar as they shed dust like you will not believe. Also, bricks with round holes and broomsticks and pine shelves (with drilled holes to match); very handy but still a brick dust issue, too.

    Interconnects & Cables

    Hi It did, didn't it? Cables of all types seem to be about the most contentious issue in hifi circles. I think once one goes past a certain level of cable (mains type in my case on loudspeakers) then it becomes perception. I just don't hear/perceive a difference past that point. Others, of...

    How much do different components contribute to sound?

    Hi In my experience it goes like this: 1st - the sound quality depends on the room AND the kit you use (it's a synergistic system thing). then - you will improve the room shortcomings and things will sound different/maybe better or - you will change a piece of kit and things will sound...
