| Where should the vocal image be? OP I hope you found a baseline from all this??????????? I think one thing we can agree on is that there are a few variables. Once you have an optimal setting, most likely it's the recording that dictates where the vocal image will be placed on t... | |
| Where should the vocal image be? It's could be quite subjective as I would prefer the vocal to be at least mid way between the listener and the speaker plane. I understand this would trade off soundstage depth. This leads to another related topic as would you prefer that "they ... | |
| Where should the vocal image be? but what piece of equipment and it could include speakers, is responsible for the imaging / soundstage I would venture to say it would be the speakers. Then followed by the recordings. | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? They don't have to be the same length but your sound won't be optimal if they are of different length. It's simple as that. Seems like the cable haters in this thread are running wild :-) | |
| Power Cord Shielding For me, shielding is the most important factor. It’s not the only thing. The late Charles Hanson once said that the power amplifier is basically a modulator of the power supply. In that sense, the power cable is like a speaker cable in term of how... | |
| "Power Cords-More Recent" If you look at a power amplifier power supply design, they don't use regulator therefore it is much more susceptible to voltage change and variation. Most amps (if not all) only use only a rectifier stage and use output capacitor to try to keep t... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... ^^^ Glad it worked out for you. I checked out the link but too bad it doesn't have any pictures of the cable. Could be some Chinese-made ones that you can get at Amazon for cheaper price. | |
| Canare 4S11 With all due respect, you are a bit naive. First thing I learned when I got into the high-end audio business over 45 years ago...price sometimes makes no difference. I guess this is the case where you're right, and a whole lot of people are wr... | |
| Canare 4S11 I am not sure why all the hypes about the Canare. It looks just like an ordinary set of cable that you can purchase at Home Depot. If something is too good to be true, then there's a reason for doubt. I may be a bit naive, but if somebody is sa... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... One would think that they could put a scope (or A2D) on the power coming out the end of that cord… and then actually see some things that are other than 60 Hz (or 50Hz) being removed.If I was able to see some high frequency noise on the bad cord... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... They are actually afraid of trying out new cables for fear that they will be proven wrong. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... But if it doesn't, would that represent all power cords performance? Probably not. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... Please leave out the $50 Amazon waste of money power cord.I suppose you don't believe that the cheap Amazon power cords will improve the sound? | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... Get the largest gauge you can. Can anyone care to explain why that would be? Imagine the tiny little fuse between power cable and your equipment. Wouldn't it be a bottleneck? Then why would a power cable make any difference that whatever cu... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... +1 for cheap power cords from Amazon. For $50 per power cord, even if it won’t satisfy you, you only lose $50 which is miniscule when it comes to HiFi. They are made in China but most of them are very decent in quality.I got some myself and they ... |
