| 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... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread Tim Mrock was ahead of his time. His stuff was and is awesome. But nobody keeps great stuff like that secret for long. Lots of people are on to it now. NPS1260, what do you think that is? SR fuses and outlets, the glob of gray goop they tell you... | |
| Mapleshade-Pierre Sprey A true genius in many aspects, and very nice guy, judging from my long over the years but brief email communication with him. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz OK I am reposting here what I just did in the other thread, my conclusions after using these cables for almost 10 years...I tried all the original CT-1 line up to Ultimate Reference (not balanced IC's). This line has now been replaced by the cheap... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable oh bugger that is another thread and this 8 year old one was bumped! Ignore me! | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable What happened to the missing 8 years of this thread? Thousands of posts and info gone.I tried all the original CT-1 line up to Ultimate Reference (not balanced IC's). This line has now been replaced by the cheaper Reveal, and the equivalently expe... | |
| Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright The descriptive term 'Dark' has the most confusions and different meanings. Dark is when there is a an overly soft treble that causes no life to the very upper treble. That's how I understand it. But some reviewers (not from established magazi... | |
| I have had the ADD Powr Wizard in my system for a couple of weeks and I'm impressed I read the person behind Add-Powr is the same engineer who created the QRT products which was then sold to Nordost over 10 years ago.Probably his non compete clause has ended and he has respun the technology into a new company (with improvements h... | |
| best power conditioners under 4k I spent years messing with power conditioners. I tried many different devices, both series filtering and parallel filtering, and multiple different DC blocking solutions as well. Eventually I realized that power conditioning gives gains in some ar... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? I met a guy who had a full set of SR Black fuses and they all blew at once on a power surge. He was buying some cheaper SR20 fuses from me, because he still wanted and believed in the SR fuses but could not bring himself to outlay that much again.... | |
| Nordost fans Hi Alejandro I can answer this. I live in Australia with 240v but use products with US power sockets, so always have the same questions as you.The QB4 and QB8 are just power strips, so both will work fine on any voltage. I have a US QB8 at home he... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! I just want to point out these F1 IC’s are not based on the copper ribbons like the speaker cables.Apart from the Fractal treatment (which Max claims is his new and improved wire conditioning process), the interconnects are totally different.This ... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables Thanks MC for doing these reviews. The F1 cables have been out for a few years now and there is not much out there on them, certainly not on forums.These F1 speaker cables are fairly expensive for a 2.5m pair, however.I am amazed that in 2021, on ... |
