| Silly prices for Nordost cables When a loudspeaker cable and a fresh water supply for an African village cost the same you know we live in a beautiful world and everything is as it's supposed to be | |
| Silly prices for Nordost cables I think most people here do agree that cables give different results in sound, the post was about the pricing of some topmodel cables mentioned, not about if cables do or don’t give a difference.Anyone is obliged to spend his money as he wants, no... | |
| Silly prices for Nordost cables If Nordost is making money on these cables I wouldn't call them ridiculous.... I would call them smart.It's the ones buying these cables that you should question if you even should.We also shouldnt be mad at Kanye West that he is making crap.We sh... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute cables with Wilson Alexia? Jwseitz, sorry for my late reply.I found what I was looking for in the new HiDiamond line.They sound very engaging and involving and at the same time reveal everything I wish for.I did not even need to go to their topmodel to achieve this. | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? I totally agree with most that is said above.I found all B&W speakers I have heard for the last 10 years unbalanced, unnatural, colored and not enjoyable to listen to.I even heard them combining the downfall of laid back and forward at the sam... | |
| Sonus faber Amatis vs guarneries anybody opinions? The Memento's always felt like a woman to me ;) | |
| Sonus faber Amatis vs guarneries anybody opinions? Don't be fooled by the specifications of the Guarneri Memento. They need a lot of power for the bottom end to show what they can, but when driven properly their bass is just fantastic. As a matter of fact, enjoyed their bass more then many a floos... | |
| Nordost Baldur The Baldur was one step above the red dawn in the line-up, filing the gap to the Heimdall.Compared to the Rev II version of the now called Leif cables the Baldur was a much more balanced cable.I have never heard the Leif versions but unless they a... | |
| mixing brands I have a lot of experience with Nordost as a system and combined with other brands. (Although the last was before the "2" of the Norse and Valhalla range came out)If your plan is to change to another brand I would certainly change the speaker cabl... | |
| I'm looking for good analog interconnects For a cheap and in my eyes (ears) very competent interconnect I recommend the van den Hul D102 MkIII.I've owned one for years and always compared it to all much more expensive ic's when my cable experiment grew out of hand and never found a cable ... | |
| Musical Fidelity a good match with Monitor Audio? With your MA silvers I think could mate well with the older Musical Fidelity amps like Nu-Vista, Tri-Vista and A308cr.I Would stay away from the newer models that started around the A5, would look elsewhere for more refined highs with your MA's. | |
| Vincent SV236MK Dry and bright? Okay, thanks everyone it is solved!Who would have thought....the last suspect I did not completely question.I tried all power cable combinations but the one that was completely without the HiDiamond.Tried it on DAC and amp, dryness still there.Rem... | |
| Vincent SV236MK Dry and bright? It should have been, the room is quite small btw. | |
| Vincent SV236MK Dry and bright? Thanks for all the replies guys.To answer the questions,I own quite a lot of cables, and always try every combination to see how things react after a purchase.At the moment I use as speakers cables HiDiamond D7, ic is vh Hul D103mkIII, power cable... | |
| Vincent SV236MK Dry and bright? Hmm...the more I think about your statement Czarivey I am starting to doubt.It would explain some other things I have experienced and blamed because of the sometimes light or dry balance.Maybe I need to experiment some more to know for sure. |
