    Cable Cookers - should I get one?

    I’ve read snippets of both sides for and against within other threads, but have come to no conclusion. So I’m opening up this thread on WBF with seasoned experienced members. For better sonics, I’m trying to answer: 1) Do I need a cable cooker? 2) if so, beyond the initial, should I also...

    What are the best speakers you've ever heard ?

    Not sure how to separate the speakers from the electronics but the Gryphon Trident II Loudspeakers + Commander Pre + Apex Stereo amp sounded effortlessly great at the 2023 PAF.

    Coming Soon: High End Balanced Interconnect Shootout: Odin 2, Valhalla 2, AQ Dragon, Stealth Sakra V17LE, Ansuz D2 & more?

    If I move to a smaller room, would it shrink the *area* and thus the amount of work in moving the speakers with my aching back? :)

    New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

    Hawaii- promised my triplets a trip for High School Graduation, but then Covid hit so they couldn’t walk graduation. Last summer 2022 finally took them to Oahu and Maui. I was shocked on that Waikiki is upscale now. We spent time looking for the best poke - much fresher in Hawaii. I’m glad...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    I’ve been wondering for awhile: SR seems to come out with their own unique tech. Since on WBF it’s been reported benefits from using multiple switches, I wondered what the change/benefit would be to add the SR switch to the NA Tempus switch? Perhaps there’s a different filtering scheme...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    @Jambo Many thanks. Sifting through these new audiophile switches was daunting. Along with NA switch I’ll get their Ethernet filter. Still deciding on the Ethernet cable. On a side note, Synergistic Research has a network router here that you place in between your home router and audio...

    Why aren't coaxial speakers more popular?

    Allow me to clarify, “significantly” superior - perhaps I should have used “subjectively”. I meant that the pointsource 3d sonic advantage is not good enough motivate others to displace 3d soundstages of other designs. True the pointsource should sound better, but it isn’t enough to warrant change.

    Why no love for Focal?

    Ha! I was the same for Wilsons. With all the positive reviews and the cutting edge tech, seems I “should” like it. I tried hard to like them at several dealers and audio shows but it just never resonated with me.

    Why aren't coaxial speakers more popular?

    The OPs question seems to be point-source theoretically superior by coming from a single point vs subjective sonic speaker preferences. The vast majority of speakers use separate transducers- tweeters, midrange. Many speaker manufacturers use third party transducers like from ScanSpeak and...
