| Differences between cd transports? I wish this forum would allow pictures. Cleaning up the basement collection this weekend. I have multiple spools of speaker cables, canard microphone cables, etc. I also own quite a bit of measuring equipment. I just tested a spool of Canare L4es6... | |
| Differences between cd transports? @geoffkait Since not a single high end wire company I know has an electron microscope and since you freely admit they don't make their own wire, how would they know the directionality of the cable? Cable is spooled and respooled so many times befo... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? And yet somehow Geoff makes his own artificial atoms in a little condo. | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? I owned it for a couple of years. I never felt it was anything special even with quality NOS tubes from Andy at VTS. I find ARC preamps to be vastly superior. For same $$$ you can pick up a used LS28. It's better in every dimension as far as I am ... | |
| Differences between cd transports? @tweak1 No, my head would not explode when visiting Synergistic Research. If they have more than $1K of instruments in that two garage spot "warehouse" of theirs. If a single cable company ever published a study, I'd buy into their BS. And please ... | |
| Differences between cd transports? I want to see that factory where they make Artificial Atoms. I suspect it's some sort of metal shop where they punch holes and Geoff buys their waste. Might even be from China. | |
| Differences between cd transports? The subconscious mind interacts with room boundaries, i.e., closed-in spaces, producing a claustrophobic reaction that interferes with and degrades the listener's sensory perception. Now that's rich...Next time I make a donation to local orchestra... | |
| Differences between cd transports? The Blue Meanie is neither a damper nor a resonator so it's location on the wall, unlike dampers and resonators, is not critical whatsoever. A Blue Meanie can be placed anywhere on the wall; it can even be hidden behind a picture or bookcase. Four... | |
| Differences between cd transports? Dude, you sell bags of rocks to attach to interconnect cables. I'm done here. For a while I thought I was just dealing with a few misinformed/undereducated individuals. Now I realize I'm dealing delusions. | |
| Differences between cd transports? @geoffkait Actually, sunshine, in case of a regular amp, there is a ground. Go grab a multimeter and test between "-" speaker terminal and the case. You'll get a reading close of zero. But what do I know, having only have designed, produced and co... | |
| Luxman 507uXi vs. Luxman 507uXii @hoopster Congrats. You'll like it. Sitting here working right now listening to my 507 on Aerial 7Ts/Aerial 5Ts. Nice to have speaker switch depending if I'm at my desk or coding away on the sofa. Aerial's 5Ts and 7Ts are all the speaker I will ev... | |
| Differences between cd transports? @tweak1 You can't have it both ways. The current either flows both ways without which cable capacitance wouldn't exist, another one of your major concerns. This is 7th grade physics for those of us that actually went to school. | |
| Differences between cd transports? @geoffkait Take the case for two wires connected to a speaker, + and -. When the current travels toward the speaker on one wire it travels the opposite direction on the other wire. And vice versa.You have no idea what you are talking about. How do... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? @geoffkait Can you point out a flaw in my pricing of Nordost Odin cable? Because I do not see more than $400 of raw materials in them. What do they sell for? $25K. Pretty sweet racket. I'm fairly positive that if they can provide half of worlds 4G... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? @geoffkait Clearly, the culture that invented carving and polishing jade is incapable of creating jewel like finish.And how would they lose money? Breaking down the cost of Nordost Odin speaker cable is about $10 a foot of wire and insulation. Yes... |
