I happen to know how to make a reference IC for close to nuthin if you dear to diy
Affordable cables
We all know and can't dispute that SR and other uber expensive cables can do magic with your systems however most of us aspiring audiophiles simply can't afford them. So I would like to hear from some of our colleagues who worked their way up the cable chain what if any cables priced at $100.00 or less made or make the most difference to a system. Interconnects specifically. Thanks

Some unbiased audiophiles can give an honest answer based on years of experience." Is there any way to send pm`s here? My ic`s are made from two lenghts of coaxes and are a bit tricky to make up but I`ve saved a series of pictures that shows how to land it on the legs. |
ieales523 posts12-14-2019 2:01am Some unbiased audiophiles can give an honest answerAin't no such thing. EVERY audiophile who references their cable in their system in their room in their degree of intoxication has a validity factor of 1 / (number of audiophiles) or so close to zero as to be inconsequential. Cables interact with other components. Whether they are chalk or cheese depends on the rest of the system and the room biased by personal proclivities. -------------- Not true. I`ve been in this discussion before and it can off course not be solved over the net. But I invited some "septics" to my home and wow no moore discussion. Why? Because my system is totally open, clean & clear, as beeing there and everyone (moore or less) can hear any difference, though not everyone knows how to evaluate them. That takes moore skills. I am a golden ear but not so much without my system. Very few has a tool like I have, but they are still trying to evaluate stuff in their moore cloudy systems. That`s like evaluating diamonds in the basement with sunglasses on, it`s worth nothing. This is why I recommend to take the object they plant to buy and bring it to a seasoned audiophiles system, compare it to his moore ekspensive equipment and by that get some enlightening. I did this when I was a beginner, it saved me a lot of trouble. |
@millercarbon " Wait, I got a better one: how is this even slightly controversial? Just assume, for the sake of argument, it really is possible to assemble some off the shelf parts and get truly outstanding performance. Your DIY cable, (sorry, laughing, hard to type) so secret you found it on the interweb (right?) anyone can do it, and its so awesomely better than anything else, and for cheap, and yet there's all these guys making obscene profits too dumb to figure out they can make even more building your DIY, slapping a fancy sticker with a name on it? There's a ton of em Would they not be doing this? So where are they? Oh and also at the same time the pro's would be testing and tweaking and finding trick ways to take all those same parts up a whole level, just so they can sell for even more. Leaving your regular old DIY in the dust. Its one, or its the other. Notice nowhere in there is the scenario where the DIY really is good. Because they never are. Sorry. You got to at least pick a semi-defensible position to have any chance at all here. And this ain't it. " ------------------ You`re a bit of an arrogant yerk millercarbon and I kind if like that as long as you are talented as well. Are you? Tell me what ic`s you`re using and I`ll send you a set. |
