For sale is a pair of 1.0M Cardas Audio Clear Reflection RCA Interconnects I have always wanted to try these and did so earlier this year purchasing locally from Addicted to Audio here in Melbourne in May. They are a great sounding cable and worked well with one reviewer calling them "fluid and coherent" and I feel this is an apt description. They retail for $1999 in this length so you have an opportunity to pick up an as new pair at a good price. http://www.hifiplus.com/articles/cardas-clear-reflection-cables/ https://www.theabsolutesound.com/ar

5.1 vs 2.1 for the same $? ($3-$4k)
nandrzej replied to Ritero's topic in Beginners & Purchasing Advice
I have two rigs, one for stereo and one for HT. I picked up the entry level Marantz as I was tired of volume riding because the centre channel was poorly represented on the TV and connected some old Dynaudios to it in a 2.1 config. It transformed the viewing experience and actually did pretty convincing two channel becoming the go to system for the family. I later added some rears and a centre and whilst it’s better I think the advice to pick up two good speakers for your rig is sound and will fit both your use cases. Cheers. Nick -
What To Do When You Don't Have A Balance Dial
nandrzej replied to 08Boss302's topic in Stereo Amplifiers & Pre-Amps
I do this when I think some 'cans are not balanced properly and give them a 180 spin on my head. It usually turns out to be the track. I once had a tweeter out of phase and my system did this to me. It would come and go with different tracks that had a different tonal balance. I found it whilst playing pink noise and moving a phone with a basic scope app up and down the front of the speaker at a distance of about 30cm. I felt the frequency dip at the crossover point was enough to warrant further investigation and once the tweeter was loose it could be traced from the crossover. Sol -
SACD in a 2 channel set up
nandrzej replied to Hawk66's topic in Digital Sources, DACs, and Computer Audio
Yes Papajero has the link it is a monster thread but it is real and it works. I went down the rabbit hole. For years I wanted to be able to rip an SACD for higher than CD quality 2 channel playback for those albums where the only way to get this was SACD. I was originally looking at a PS3 etc but they were getting older and more expensive then I happened on the above thread. I have an IT background and was able to source an ebay special for $50 and rip SACD. It can be fiddly but it worked for me. I have a handful of titles perhaps six now and have been able -

I have used the ER20 'plugs and they work well I often lose pairs to mates who ask if I have spares I also had a pair of these made up and they are constant gig companions. https://pro.ultimateears.com/microsonic-earplugs.html They work well and the sound is good. I find for really heavy gigs the goose bumps when the bass pumps bass actually manages to shake them in my ears and I perceive more bass and the sound is unbalanced. Still worth it for me.
