| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? Hey clustrocasual I really appreciate your resistor comparison and thoughts on the Takman. If you do get a chance to use AN Niobium don't hesitate to update us here. I am about to do a resistor upgrade in my already modded amp and there seems to ... | |
| Mapleshade-Pierre Sprey Pierre made one of the only HDMI cables that is noticeably better than stock. The Vivlink HDMI is now up to v3 and I highly recommend it to audio and videophiles. But I have posted about that before, let me tell you my experience of the Mapleshad... | |
| Which higher end HDMI cable for new OLED TV? Try the Mapleshade Vivlink 3 HDMI (Plus version) You will notice a difference. I have had all 3 versions, And Nordost Blue Heaven, various Wireworld and Audioquest. e.t.c Some so called high end HDMI cables were even worse than entry level Blue... | |
| Nordost QKore? It works phenomenally well with Nordost's own QB4/8 power distributors. But whether it works as well with other brand products I am unsure. | |
| Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables? Supply chain issue are going to effect HFC more than most other companies, so perhaps give them a bit more slack than normal. For example, the original CT-1 RCA connector has over 40 parts (for a single connector!) This is not off the shelf stuf... | |
| NPS-1260 Connection fluid So only 10% of the formulation is graphene. The rest are rare earth mineral nanopowders.Also 10% conductive polymer, which you would presume is Stabilant 22 or something similar, and interestingly 10% shungite. | |
| NPS-1260 Connection fluid Rick has been a proponent of Stabilant 22 for years. In a previous era this product was rebranded by Sumiko and called 'Tweak'.In regards to NPS-1260, I have not tried it yet, but I can guarantee you that Rick would not have rebranded some off the... | |
| Nordost Power Cables - my latest experience +1 for qbase. I replaced a power conditioner costing 5 times more than qbase. And from my experience, I feel sort kones are indispensable for qbase and qkore. Yes agreed. I also experienced large gains using Stillpoints Ultra SS on both of the... | |
| Nordost Power Cables - my latest experience +1 Nordost Qbase. My system has 3 QB4’s - each on a different circuit. I use only the primary earth socket for my parallel filtering conditioners. Great SQ. With so many QB4's it will be difficult and expensive for you to implement the QKore sy... | |
| Nordost Power Cables - my latest experience however I just couldn’t get along with the associated speaker cables... like attempting to force the signal through a strangulated lead pipe ! That’s because their speaker cables were just the same transmission line coaxial design as the IC’s and... | |
| Nordost Power Cables - my latest experience Hi alfau7High Fidelity Cables will beat any Nordost cable, especially on interconnects and digital cables, which is what I use them for.I am on record saying be wary of HFC for speaker cables due to potential mismatch issues. But when they work - ... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and My friend has the H390 paired with the new Dynaudio Heritage and its absolutely sublime. A few other people have this exact combination and their feedback tends to agree.I am not sure if its the amp or speakers, but it’s slightly, and I mean sligh... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable All these ribbon cables are not going to be as compatible with equipment as normal stranded/solid core cables would be. Ozzy has maybe identified one such setup with his tube amp and found a cable better - for him - at 5x times the price.That's fi... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable I do remember many years ago having custom 2" wide mundorf copper foils, some of the best sounding SC’s I ever had.But the positive and negative were sandwiched together with a thin layer of teflon double sided tape - the only thing keeping them f... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable For Ozzy and others who found the Fidelium's did not work, have you tried other copper foil cables and had the same results? It could be a tube/amp/speaker mismatch problem. Large thin foils have an electrical characteristic (either high/low capac... |
