| Suggestion on XLR Cables @gdhal and @muses,I miswrote in my previous post. My Belden/Neutric cables are actually Gotham PUR/Amphenol. I plan on doing a closer comparison with the Zus in the near future. Zu always recommends 250 to 400 hours to burn in the dielectric on n... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables I thought that XLR cables, since they were originally designed for runs much, much longer than usually found in home stereo systems, were the least quality dependent of all the ICs.That being said, I recently upgraded from Belden/Neutric generics ... | |
| Opening a can of worms If it takes 400 hours to burn in a cable, shouldn't the risk free return period be 3 years? And how/when would I compare it to a cable that requires no or very little burn in.The second question is dead serious. | |
| Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records? I tend to listen to better recordings of good music more often than good music recorded poorly; but I've found some real jewels among my old LPs once they are cleaned up and played on the system I have now vs. the one I had in 1980.Similar experie... | |
| Opening a can of worms Gillatgh, Thanks for taking the time to do the comparison and sharing your opinion. | |

| Long lost songs I picked up a mint copy of the Left Banke's first album, Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina at a craft fair. | |
| Another soundstage question @wolf_garcia , I got the joke and appreciated it.@kosst_amojan, 'A mic that's low will make something seem high...'What a revelation! Of course that would be true. As long as my soundstage has a nice vertical field, I'll accept the centering of th... | |
| Mid grade Integrated amp choices I was committed to the Belles Soloist until I heard a Primare I32. The new I35 is reported to be audibly better. | |
| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD @mrvordo , very helpful information. Thanks. May I ask which phonostage you use? | |
| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD Thanks. I am satisfied with both, except for the impulse for more, more, more that we addicts feel. Is there anyone out there who has both LP and SACD playback in their systems who feels that one is a lot better sounding than the other? The answer... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? @aberyclark , you've certainly sparked a debate!I am not a golden ear but here are some observations.I inherited a NAD 7250 PE and didn't like it for a new system I was setting up in the basement. Got a Rotel Rx-1052. Huge improvement in side by s... | |
| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD @randy-11,I agree, except I have few if any CDs that sound as good as their LP counterparts. I do have a few SACDs remastered from the same tapes as their well made LPs. I suppose the comparison is not totally a controlled experiment. Remastering ... | |
| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD @teo_audio,Thanks for the encouragement. Your neurophysiologic explanation resonates with some of my experiences. Perhaps the fiscally wise approach would be to stop the education.........Nah! ;^) |
