Calloway,
Thanks for the suggestion. Once I put the finishing touches to my system I intend to do that. |
Stevepo,
The HD8's give the same "being-there" feeling that all HiDiamonds do in my system. But I enhance the effect by running all my cables in series so my system is a-typical. |
Stevepo,
I have the top HD speaker cables. They are excellent. |
Hifial,
I have done some experimenting with this. I have the HD H8 speaker cables. I tried to take the SR speaker cells out but they went back in fast. On the other hand, I took the SR interconnect cells out and there was an improvement in the sound. I run cables in series. |
Stevepo,
For instance: I run speaker cables in series -- Cardas and HiDiamond. But I splice them into SR speaker cells in series with Bybee GG speaker bullets. If I try to take out the speaker cells they go back in fast -- unlike the SR interconnect cells that were sold off. Running cables and "tweaks" in series is trial and error. It has taken me 7 years to figure this out and it is still a work in progress. When you find combinations that work there is no going back. The ears tell all -- defying all the audio theories. |
Stevepo,
I run cables from Bybee, Cardas and SR in series with HiDiamond cables. The results are superior with cabling in series vs. using cables singly. I also splice Bybee purifiers into the mix. This is rather complicated and expensive -- and I am met with a blank stare. But I don't care. I know what works. I have really good hearing. I would never be able to go back to single cables.
I think single cabling is the biggest game that is played in the cable industry. Makers and users are forever looking for the holy grail in a single cable. The search is endless it is the basis of the cable industry. But I have never found a holy grail in a single cable.
It is the synergy between 2 special cables that is the secret of sonic superiority -- in my system. This flies in the face of all commonly accepted norms including a short signal path. But there are many things in life that work that fly in the face of commonly accepted norms. When we find these special things there is no going back. |
Stevepo,
Almost everyone else thinks so too. Who cares. They have no idea because they have no experience with it -- only opinions. Exactly -- it's like mixing colors. Except in this case it is mixing the best of 2 cables and getting something better than what either one can offer when used alone.
I run Cardas Golden Cross in series with HiDiamond speaker cables -- spliced with SR power cells, Bybee speakers filters and Bybee speaker bullets. Beats any single speaker cable, hands down.
The Bybees are the essentials in my system -- power cords, purifiers too numerous to mention, speaker bullets, and Stealth. |
Calloway,
I have pics. How do I upload them? |
Fplanner2000,
I agree. A power regenerator makes a huge difference. If you put an isolation transformer in front of it you will hear an even bigger improvement in SQ. |
Calloway,
I just had a look at your system. Do you still have your EMM? |
Fplanner2000,
I have terminated my P3s with Oyaide M1 plugs and F1 IECs and the difference is night and day. Expensive but worth every cent. |
I am gratified that some members are so conscientious that they go to the trouble of keeping track of fellow members' inventories and that they make periodic announcements of inventory changes to keep other members duly informed. It is remarkable that they are so diligent in this regard. Unfortunately, some inventory control officers make an occasional slip by failing to note when determining that fellow members are upgrading. This is no problem because a special file can be created to keep track of upgrades as well as normal inventory changes with a flag link to facilitate inventory control updates. |
Glor,
1. Too bad you still choose not to get my ID right. I note that you don't have a problem with the ID of other posters. Too bad you have not learned your lesson yet.
2. You had better declare if you are in the industry. It is quite obvious that you have a very large ax to grind -- and are grinding it very hard here. We need to see your clear disclosure.
3. Did you bother to read my earlier post regarding upgrading? If you did, did you understand what I said?
4. Your over-concern about my system is not casual -- obviously. Only someone in the industry with a strong agenda and lacking audio maturity would go to the trouble of ambulance chasing on forums -- as you do here. |
