L. Sutherland tells us … Company founded in 1999 by Bé Yamamura and based in Lecanto, Florida, USA. The company continued making and selling the same cables and accessories as its predecessor Yamamura Systems S.R.L. had done in Italy but in addition handled the North American distribution of a number of exotic Japanese hi-fi brands […]

I was recently having an email conversation with a very nice gentleman who had written me about a subject we’re all more than familiar with, the sound of cables. He had never heard one cable sound different than another. Couple that with the fact he’d read articles focused on convincing people those differences do not […]

Hi hoping to be spoon fed some nuggets of advice on grounding from a knowledgable fishie or 2 My turntable has a grounding wire attached to the underside of the bearing assembly, as well as the more traditional ground wire alongside the tonearm cable. I have 2 issues to try and fix – one is […]
Roger Skoff writes: There’s an old joke about a concert that doesn’t start on time and has the audience getting progressively and ever-more-vociferously restless until, finally – after however long — a man in a tuxedo (probably the impresario) comes out on stage and announces that the performance has been canceled and that all ticket […]
There’s already enough controversy over power cable quality vs. sound quality and now this question has Paul explaining not only why power cables can make a difference but their actual construction and discovery. Watch Now
System synergy between cables, amps, speakers, and the room are essential elements in the proper setup of a high-end audio system. How can you decide what goes together well and what works together within a system? Watch Now
In a legal proceeding, the burden of proof falls on the party that is bringing the claim against another. “That guy robbed me.” In a scientific setting, the same can be true: “The Earth revolves around the sun” was a radical new idea that went against everything our culture knew at the time. The burden […]
Thank you for the question. We didn’t think a simple yes or no answer would suffice. So we decided to look up what Paul McGowan (PS Audio) – the most knowledgeable person we know in the industry re this topic. Here’s what he has to say: So, why should a power line fuse change the […]
An open letter from myself and AudioQuest to the community—to everyone who cherishes the truth, regardless of their opinions about audio and digital cables, regardless of their opinions about AudioQuest. For good reason, there is growing internet “buzz” about the recently published findings of Mark Waldrep on his Real HD-AUDiO blog. Mark’s findings are very […]
Not happy with the standard 12AX7 input/driver tube Kai replaced it with NOS Mullard tube from the 1950s. That brought some betterment but not enough that he would not have sent the tubes, along with other tubes, cables, etc., to Germany to have them cryonized, ie. to undergo a process in which the product is […]
Paul McGowan: In yesterday’s post I brought up the subject of the lowly TOSLINK cable, sometimes known as an optical cable. For most of us, this is the worst sounding digital audio interconnect made. Depending on the unit you are connecting to, sample rates are limited to 96kHz and below. Toshiba, the inventor and manufacturer […]
We all know the law of diminishing returns — after certain level of quality has been reached, further investments in improving the quality will yield lesser and lesser and lesser returns. Until it reaches such plateau where even enormous investment does not make one iota of improvement. Applied to hi fi, this law holds that […]
I’ve never been the type to worry about cables, power chords or separate spurs and that malarkey. Mainly because the system generally sounds fine as it is, I’m not made of money and I also don’t have the time to be constantly ABX testing these things to make sure I’m not getting ‘snake-oiled’. However last […]
Heard an interesting tale. Apparently there are now counterfeit SME arms being offered on the market. They have no serial number, and also some Chinese writing (oops!) in the box. If this is true should we be flattered? After all, fraudsters usually concentrate on stuff loved by joe-public (Rolex Watches etc). If analogue has made […]
So, we love to have a good discussion/argument/rant here (and on all the other audio forums I have seen) about the many claims audiophiles make that others dismiss as myths. The arguments go round in circles; I hear a difference – but there cannot be a difference, it is all in your mind – have […]
