| Moving Soon - Should I Pack Up Everything Now?? @zerofox Any good realtor will tell you a "well staged" house looks best in the pictures, can increase the value and make the sale faster. IMHO your system is easy on the eyes and adds value. I have seen many rooms that should be packed up before... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Nice system. Your CD played probably draws +/- .25 of an amp. Unlike power amps that can require big and fluctuating power, the CD player requires a very small amount of current. Any cable with some decent shielding is likely to be all you need... | |
| Really Long XLR @lalitk Thanks for that. I believe the terms "microphone" and XLR are used to mean the same thing? The 10561 used the braided copper shielding as the ground on the XLR connector. I think this is quite standard? Both the 10561 and the 10701 use... | |
| Really Long XLR @lalitk Right now I have narrowed it down to two cables. 1. Audio Envy O’nestian for $1250. They are using OCC copper and the cables appear to be very well constructed. Maybe the best I have seen at this price. 2. Gotham Audio XLR Cable, GAC-... | |
| Vinyl Lovers @ghdprentice They must do something different is the US as my complaint in Canada is the ridiculous waste in over packaging. First, they put the LP in a special cardboard enclosure, made specifically for LPs and that should be sufficient to prote... | |
| Vinyl Lovers @mijostyn I fully agree with your comment re returns to Amazon. I would say 25% of the vinyl purchased has gone back. However, that speaks to the problems with LP's and to the beauty of Amazon's return policy. I recently bought a Lee Morgan LP... | |
| Really Long XLR @mattmiller Thanks Matt. Signal Cable would be $400 for the pair. At a similar price I am also looking at Gotham Ultra Pro https://www.gothamcable.com/en/gothamcables/madeupleads/xlrmicrophonecable/ultrapro10561 | |
| Really Long XLR Once again, thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions, One thing I do find surprising is the strong support for cables costing $1 - $2 per foot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for a reason to spend more than required, but for the m... | |
| Really Long XLR Thanks all for your information and recommendations. Such a spread, where the Mogami W2534 Neglex Quad cable + Connectors will be +/- $250 (CDN) for the project and Audio Envy O’nestian (Matched Pair) will be +/- $2000 (CND) assuming they will bu... | |
| Vinyl Lovers I always take the path of least resistance and go first to Amazon. If something I am interested in is available on LP or CD, I scan down and look at the production information. You can always see who is doing the issue. It is remastered? Is it... | |
| Shunyata Omega Speaker cable and interconnect $25,000 for a 2.5 meter pair? But wait, they come with little plastic wheel "cable risers" attached. | |
| How long before they jump on this..? Sounds an awful lot like Carbon Fiber ? | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint The beauty of living in the frozen north. A full basement is required and builders have started to make 9 foot ceilings a standard feature. A good trade off for 5 months of winter. 🤣 | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack @muaythai Are you at all handy with a skill saw and drill? If so, build your own. I have found pre build racks are $$$$ and often the shelves are limited to +/- 60 pounds. Not enough to support many mono blocks. If you are interested, I'd be ... | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Can't say as I've seen to many high quality pieces that were unattractive. Is it really a thing? |
