| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I expect that Rick has dropped making cables for the time being and his new venture will be focused on these new contact enhancer products only. | |
| Masimo Acquires Sound United - Are Denon, Classe, Polk, B&W, Marantz, going to fade away?? When was the last time Denon had products that appealed to the enthusiast market, and conversely when was the last time the general consumer even knew who they were? Well that's the case in Australia. Perhaps in the US or Europe they still have s... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 From late 2011 when Rick launched HFC, to late 2014 I helped on the digital side. I did all the website, marketing, banners, lightbox photography of all the products, contacted a heap of reviewers and websites to promote e.t.c So apart from Rick ... | |
| 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... |
