| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable I find the canare 4s8 actually better than the 4s11, better clarity and neutral. | |
| AQ Blizzard or Thunder? For powercord, I use whatever is provided by the manufacturer as it is safe to use and does not compromise the performance, and I add a ferrite core to it, about 1-2 inches away from the device. Works Great! especially on source and pre-amp. | |
| AQ Blizzard or Thunder? Neither. But if you do buy audioquest, make sure you remove the dbs system as it does act as an antenna and potentially adds noise to your system. This is verifiable and exposed. | |
| Audioquest cables best tweak Based on measurements made by a despicable engineer. | |
| Speaker cable recommendations for DeVORE FIDELITY I would get the kimber 8pr or the belden 5t00p. They measure the best. | |
| Budget Hunter: Spendor S8e vs Totem Hawk I have a pair of totem hawks i can sell. Built in december 2012, with claws, but no boxes so I cannot ship. I am in the charlotte nc area. | |
| Best skiinny floorstanders Spendor, Totem. | |
| Best speaker cable for Focal Sopra 3 Good question for Jacques Mahul - he would probably point to a simple 12 awg cable. | |
| Speaker cables for Focal 1038 Be? True - fat pure copper wire and you're good - Jacques Mahul would agree; that's what they use in their own systems. | |
| Speaker Cables and Connectors I would follow Focal advice: a cable 4mm or larger depending on length and some good banana plugs from parts express, or kabeldirekt for example. | |
| AQ Rocket 88 DBS or no DBS? If it makes a sonic difference to the point where music reproduction is improved, then DBS is worth it. | |
| High end Class D amps? No mention of PS Audio... not high-end enough I presume? | |
| Marantz pm6006 upgrade? Schiit? | |
| Audioquest or Kimber kable. Kimber of course. Audioquest is the new monster and they offer no measurements on their speakers with "dbs" or without. THey are snake-oil salesmen. | |
| Rega, Totem, or KEF bookshelf speakers? I have had rega rs5, ls50, and i still have totem hawk.In a 10x10 (I hope acoustically treated), I would go with totem /and/or LS50. Maybe LS50 1st, and then Totem. I would get both. |
