| What do you recommend to replace my Hafler IRIS preamp? First real remote control preamp I would say was a real nice preamp would be an Audio Research LS15. No balance input or outputs but I’d say it was as good as anything back then. LS5 MKII had a remote option and is an all balanced preamp but proba... | |
| Hmmmmm speaker cables For that length I would also recommend Canare. | |
| Need Long Length Speaker Cables No doubt you will lose a little but if you have a beast of an amp you may be ok. 45ft isn’t crap in studios or live performances. If you can’t set your amp closer and use long XLR cables back to preamp then look at Canare. Unless you have Golden E... | |
| Ethernet Cables I have not tried a $500 ethernet cable but the very affordable Supra sounded better than the one that came with my BS Vault. Why does the last 6ft or so of a power cable make a difference when there’s 100ft or so of romex from the panel to the wal... | |
| Ethernet Cables For the money Supra CAT 8 | |
| Would like to upgrade amplifier and would appreciate suggestions. Totally agree with xrayz. | |
| 20 amp cables for PS Audio P20? Power cables do make a difference on the Power Regenerators; they’re essentially a power amp and have a power supply… they make a difference and I’d recommend using a large shielded power cable with dedicated circuits to get the best out of your P20. | |
| Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent I’m pretty sure Paul’s IC’s both single and balanced were unshielded; single ended likely only two conductors, and the balanced the three… again doubtful a shield tied to the one end. I don’t have a balance set anymore but I do have a single end p... | |
| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? By no means a professional musician but I get the job done. I have lots of musician friends and I don’t think any of them have even an off the shelf Best Buy’s system and I’m not talking about the Magnolia section.Most of my musician friends eithe... | |
| Diagonal Connection With Two Pairs Of Binding Posts As mentioned above read about this method from Nordost several years back and tried it, preferred, and never looked backed. Was first with Clear Days Jumpers and Double Shotgun then to WyWire Jumpers and Silver Series. Very nice tweak indeed. | |
| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread Been running this way for years and very happy, but…Previous combo was a ModWright SWL 9.0 SE with an Audio Research 100.2. Wonderful. Later switched out to a ModWright LS36.5 with the 100.2. Even better. Currently LS36.5 with Pass X250 which is a... | |
| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Give it some time. I say 300 hundred hours which is crazy. In my opinion Canare, including their digital and interconnects (balanced mic cable) all have a similar sound. I find the Canare a little on the warmer side but still a fairly revealing ca... | |
| Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses I have been using Teflon plumbing tape on the stock fuse of my PS Audio P5 and first impression it has changed things but I haven’t removed the tape as I’m wanting to spend more time first. I have SR fuses on the rest of my gear (except amp as it ... | |
| Phono Stage That's not Schiit I have a Parks Audio Budgie and it’s a killer tube phono preamp but Shannon decided to retire it. His new product is the Puffin, which I’ve not heard but has a strong following. Great company to work with. Don’t let the price fool you as my Budgie... | |
| Bring my own preamp to an amp demo? Sounds like he’s really pushing the Einstein integrated which might be the way to go. I’d ask to take it home that way he’s not influencing you , you have more than an afternoon to hear it in your system in your own home which I bet sounds better ... |
