Stunned by a cable upgrade
I love the ribbons, Gunbie. One of my friends made me promise to never sell my speakers to anyone but him...I promised but I've had them since Sep/93. I just don't feel the need to change....Actually I was going to try the analysis plus 9's from J... 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
Hello, Gunbie...I enjoyed your post. The sim 1-5 is a very musical integrated as are all of the moon pieces I've heard so far. I'm running the sim4070SE with newform research dr-8-2's....These were John Meyers top of the line when he started. They... 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
Isn't it great when the system takes a jump? You're all giving some excellent advice. I did find the absolute power cord a definate improvement over the stock power cord on my own simaudio 4070SE so I would suspect the sim l-5 would also enjoy the...

power cords/surge protector-conditioner
I own both a simaudio 4070SE amp and a monster 2000 contidioner. Jean Polin at simaudio told me his amps should be run directly into the wall, not into the monster. I've tried it both ways and he is correct. I would suggest you try a better power ... 
Cable / Upgrade Recommendation

Is anyone familiar with Ixos cables?
Artemus. You have to try what works in your own system. Some cables do work their best in a family setup. What I'm saying is the acoustic zen and ixos ixotica work very well together in my system. Now this mix may not work in yours. I believe you ... 
Is anyone familiar with Ixos cables?
Yoh, Leafs? Which Ixos model did you listen to? The siltech f3g3 is better but I haven't compared my ixos ixotica to the acoustic zen yet. Glad you like the Coincident IC. Canadian company, eh? I haven't heard them, only their reputation and revie... 
Is anyone familiar with Ixos cables?
I have the ixos ixotica. I bought this cable after a friend brought over his siltechs 38 and ftm3 gen3 I believe they were. I loved especially the ftm3 and he claimed this ixotica gave about 90% of the ftm3. I was using van den hul 1st, 2nd and no... 
Music trivia anyone?
Here's a question. How did Dave Clark add reverb on the mix of the DC5 #l hit single "Over and Over"? Question two. How many consecutive Top Ten Hits did they score? Have fun, Bluenose
