    Modestly priced speaker cables

    I have been using Silversmith Audio Fideium speaker cables. I like them very much but they are not a good match for me due to their fragile aspect. I have also used Audio Envy cables. I still have a single ended interconnect in the bedroom setup and I will take a look at his latest offerings.

    Modestly priced speaker cables

    I had a 4 foot pair of Duneland in both 16 and 12 gauge. To get a start I cut the 16 in to four 2 foot sections and attached them to the 12 gauge to make a pair of 6 foot cables. Not ideal but OK for now. I will look into your suggested candidates. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Modestly priced speaker cables

    I am transitioning from separates to a integrated amp. All my speaker cables are around 4 feet long for the way the sperate amps were positioned. I need a set that are around 2 meters. Any recommendations to look for on the new or used market under $800?

    I am sure the older members will remember these woofers

    They were the SOTA in the 1970's. I saw a couple huge transmission line bins around the Portland, Oregon area utilizing them back then. I think the 18 inch model was preferred. Hartley 24in subwoofers For Sale - US Audio Mart

    Dion - Blues with Firends

    Billie Eilish - When we all fall asleep............

    Full title is When we all fall asleep where do we go? Billie is the young performer who wears clothing several times to big. I think it has to do with body shaming. I saw her perform on one of the music awards shows. She sang one song accompanied by a pianist. I was impressed. This album is not...

    How do you feel about the proliferation of Class D in high end products?

    I am seeing more and more very expensive amps and integrated amps with Class D based output stages. The approach seems to be a bigger/better power supply, and a front end of their own design compared to mid fi offering. I might be oversimplifying things by believing this approach is a less...
