Wow thank you for all the input it helps, the cable company is telling me 2 go with the shunyata pc.....but I have my doubts about that...... they did say 2 other pc also that no one mentioned here.....I have always been a Kimber fan n have been hearing good things about WyWires.....Dan Wright is big on them also......of course all the PC mention our good......but its about which matches best with ur equipment.....Thank You Guys....I will do some more research n thinking......henrycai

I am now going 2 look into all power cords mentioned n there cost as soon as I send this thread.....h

Hi everyone,
I moved fast on this one, I went 2 WyWires sight n filled out a request a consultation......let them know everything I have in my system plus room etc.....I received a phone call in a little over n hour later from WyWires.....They also already new what kind of sound I was looking for from PC.....because they asked on line.......We talked awhile n the gentleman recommend -------
silver Juice HC for Amp---Silver Juice 11 for preamp---same for Modwright opp powersupply and one for oppo player........for a total of 4 PC-----Plus they make a special cord 2 replace the one between the modwright power supply n oppo player....... so I ordered that cord also for a total of 5----They need a 100 hours burn in----it will be a week or more before I receive my Maplewood speaker plinths.......so it will be awhile before I can really find out what kind of sound I will be getting........
I would like 2 thank everyone who gave me input.....n would be thankful for more.....I still wouldn't mind buying a few other PC......Still have the Kimbers in my head...sometimes it just never ends with cables n equipment.....Be Well n Thank You. .......Henry

adg101, thank you for ur input that info gives me peace of mind, I also see that Dan like theses wires he has been using them in his demos, in my 60 plus years I have spent a lot in this hobby this time I didn't want 2 go overboard, I do feel they our a great buy, have you tried there interconnect or speaker cable...........
Iak, Thank You for ur input.....henry.

I understand what you are saying n agree.... that being said I am no longer willing 2 spend that kind of money on any pc.
I have in the past bought new transparent XL from sound by singer 8 ft. speaker wire for $4800 plus matching interconnects, spent this type of money often all these years.....But I no longer want 2 or feel I need 2 spend this amount of money on any cables.
While were on the subject of PassLabs......I would think Burly wires made by the gentleman who does the wiring for passLabs Preamps would also be a very good match for Pass equipment at a very decent price.......interconnects n speakers wire.......also I did ask if he made power cords n was sorry 2 hear he does not.... ....Henry
|
pops thank you for writing.....I plan on getting another cd player or two.....n may try Burly IC's.... n I will try WyWires IC's...........
I do have the Burly speaker wire now.... But I can't really do anything now till I get my Maplewood speaker Plinths n Power Cords....Be Well......Henry

jafant....
I will....was suppose 2 get a tracking # from WyWires on Monday never received it......as far as my Maplewood speaker plinths from mapleshade which I ordered on 3/22/16 also waiting.....I have dealt with them before 2 make wood speakers stands about 10 years ago....
I waited over 3 months no stands so I cancelled that order.....they said on there site for these plinths 1 or 2 weeks for shipping......plus they were going 2 get in touch with Gallo 2 find out what size spike fits this speaker......because they r ready for spikes but do come with spikes.....instead Gallo gave some gel type crap 2 put under all 4 corners.....so 8 spikes r costing me another $280...... but I really want the 4" Maplewood plinths so I am going 2 wait whatever it takes....Henry |
jafant...
I called WyWires about n hour ago n spoke 2 Alex, he said he was sorry n that they ran low on plugs n could not get them form there reg supplier ......
so they had 2 order from someone else n should have them tomorr...... I don't mind...sometimes life happens n we miss a beat.....Henry
|
jafant,
I received them but only listened 2 times so far, one time for 1 hour n another for 2 hours. I cannot say a whole lot at this time.....but they did sound very good right out of the box....the sound is much clearer n alive n I feel more musical....I was really surprised that they would make such a difference that fast...... I have no doubt that I am going 2 like them.....when I get sometime 2 listen more I will let everyone know what I'm getting from them..... .....henry.

Hi Guys,
I want 2 thank everyone 4 there input....but I would like 2 add once again.....I have spent a lot of money on this hobby for the last 40 years or so..... I no longer feel the need or want 2 spend $2,000 or $3,000 on power cords that cost $100 or less 2 make.......
I feel $500 or $600 is good enough.....I also feel that the WyWires PC our a find sounding cord plus will mate my Pass equipment just fine.......
I think we all know that there will always be something better or different......how much better....how much more.. after all my years this does get boring....Remember people make BIG BUCKS off Cable .... I guess you can call it the Big Ripoff......because it really is........
Hope I didn't piss anyone.....be well.....Henry.

herndonb,
Thank you 4 the info. will keep it in mind...... have not been listening much lately but I do like the life WyWires PC brought 2 the music....
I just ordered 3 Burly IC....should arrive on the 5/12......I already have the Burly speaker cable...
then I will start listening again......But I still have not received my maple shade speaker plinths.........so till then I do not feel I will know what my system really sounds like....anyone have any input for speakers for my pass equipment....Henry.

mjmch,
I was surprised myself....but they made a big difference.... I spoke 2 Alex at WyWires after I sent him info on my equipment.... he recommended these PC n I bought them.....I have not done a ton of listening so far but they brought life 2 the sound....made it clearer n sounded nice n musical......I could have returned them n got my money back but I kept all 5 of them.
I cannot speak for anyone else's system.....but I feel they are a great buy for the money....henry.

adg,
I agree will try there balanced IC later down the road.... I just put on the burly IC n already have burly speaker cables on......only ran them 4hrs so far so i can't really say what they sound like.....I am enjoying building this system n looking forward 2 trying more WyWires cables etc.......
Also thinking about getting Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers.... or Tannoy Revolution XT 8..... thanks 4 writing...henry. |
