| Power Conditioner vs A/C cables @phantom_av,I purchased an Elgar power conditioner many years from a military surplus sale for about 40 dollars. I used it with Carver and Soundcraftsman amps. It was heavy and at the time we were moving, so I gave it to my best friend. I don’t re... | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative Make sure you check out any of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers field coil variants. After spending a few years listening to different speakers, going to audio shows in Europe and in the United States, this type of speaker, field coil drivers, and s... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? ungefähr 8900 | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables @millercarbon Ola, guten tag, und Hallo!,Your feedback has me interested to explore these cables. Did you use these in a bi-wire configuration or single wire? I know you did not mention it, or I may have overlooked it, so, I am assuming single pai... | |
| Where does it end? @rocray,Roger that. I can’t even imagine a sled with that much HP, but it would be cool to watch for sure. Holy cow, 400-600 HP sleds must sound like funny cars. Drag racing sleds, have to Google videos to watch later. Sounds exciting. I love watc... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @nonoise,Yes, you sure are in a SC quandary, LOL. I mean how can you go wrong with 10 gauge OCC stranded silver for the bass? My Neotech speaker cables are the 9 gauge NES 1002 series which I just found a pair online for 5800, what? I have two pai... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @nonoise I see you are also a Tempo Electric cable user as well. It would be interesting to see how a set of bi-wire Tempo Electric speaker cables compare to your single wire experience. My Neotech high definition silver speaker cables sound bette... | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? @aj523,Well, that’s “always” a great reason to wait. In this hobby you can find bargains if you look around in the right places and/or are willing to wait. Congratulations. Can’t wait to hear your listening impressions. The wait will be worth it. | |
| Where does it end? It’s a hobby. Like many other hobbies, it only stops when one is satisfied or no longer has interest in spending any more money due to lack of curiosity. If one is happy from a plug and play and Fire and forget perspective, and does not wish to ex... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? Trying to conduct a statistical analysis of vinyl playback vs digital playback formats from a varied population of music aficionados on this forum is, well, hopeless. Personally, I play about 95% vinyl compared to digital. I use digital streaming ... | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? @aj523,According the Elusive Disc web site, The Hyperion is available for purchase. Is there a reason you are waiting for Soundsmith to send you a Hyperion from the factory? It’s worth the wait! | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @williewonka,Thank you for the elaborate and detailed response. Your description of the cables with a Teflon outer jacket makes me think of my own custom length Tempo Electric silver ICs with oversized Teflon jackets. The ends are silver WBTs. I u... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @williewonka Is 1 (bare wire with Teflon) better than 4 (Neotech UPP-OCC copper or silver with Teflon) insulation? Just seeing if you listed these randomly or ranked them from 1 being the best, and 4 being the least best. Thanks. Audioquest4life | |
| Audioquest cables best tweak Without DBS, I hear spurious cell phone interference and people, or ghosts talking. With DBS, I hear no such interference and just pure music. In all seriousness, if noise was such an egregious issue or problem by any cable manufacturer, it would ... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic @lewm,👍. Spot on statement. In fact, this statement can be applicable to other audio equipment besides cartridges. |
