| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today Later I can post a photo of the mod (slits) to my cable risers I use to keep the spacing tamed on these. I don't find them dainty and I'm quite clumsy and non-athletic. I just have my ruggedly handsome looks to get me through life...... | |
| If a speaker cable added 1 - 2 ohms of resistance would that be? No one is buying Fideliums because of the resistance. I'll measure mine for you this weekend as I swap out amps. I believe mine are 11 feet(?). Why would this be any different than the boxes MIT and Transparent put on their cables? | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Tubes pulled out, and they may have many hours on them: Psvane CV181-T's on the left-most sockets Sylvania 6SN7GTB's in the middles sockets Philco 6BY5 rectifier The tubes I had in my stores placed into service: shunguang Treasures CV181-Z... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today I did not notice any break in changes. Stunning from day one. I don't see contradictions in his statement. I see several points being made there. Made sense to this old engineer's "large" brain :). Handling: I've had these for 2 years and had no... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I reduced the hiss to 6 inches or less when I replaced the rectifier tube. Don has also informed me of new caps to put into the outputs which are on order. They should be even smoother and perhaps a little quieter. I also have ordered the Linlai ... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Like wig, I replaced my Inakustik over a year ago with the Puritan. It's not going anywhere. It does its thing and stays out of the way. | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today Nice! These are pretty darn good. Now if Jeff could get the IC's engineered. | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects Boy, cables can be a quagmire. There are good cables for your system at all price ranges. The difficulty is finding the right match. I'm off the speaker cable search with Fideliums now for 2 years. Not inexpensive, but not stratospheric in price... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I have 2 outputs of different levels. The Mytek output which I prefer is rated higher for a broader range of amps and is for >30k amps. The Mundorf Silver cap output is for SS amps around 10k. My DAC Cherry 2 is 20k. Either output has the same ... | |
| Review of Rogue Audio RP-9 preamp Thanks. I remember others who have owned 6H30 tubed gear saying they tend to run hotter than other tubes. I think the 91 db of my Wilsons and the gain of my Sachs preamp are not fully compatible. I am wanting the musicality and black background s... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Okay. The music is sensational. I just want to have a blacker background. I've read elsewhere that the low level hiss is normal for the Wilsons but with my Pass pre I had almost no hiss. Probably half as much. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Question for D2 owners; do you have tube rush at zero throttle? My Wilson's aren't overly sensitive at 91 db and the amp is a Cherry 2. I enjoy the sound but what keeps coming back to me is the Pass XP12 was almost dead quiet as a solid state unit... | |
| Review of Rogue Audio RP-9 preamp How is the noise level of the preamp? Is there noise at idle via the tubes or is it, dare I say, dead quiet? | |
| Grounding cable gauge size One is about 8x8x4. The other I thought I would experiment with longer and fewer runs of metal. It is closer to 15x7x4. The metal strips are all 2 inches and the MDF is 1/2", hence the 4 inch box depth. I was trying to have a greater amount of cop... |
