| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Bobf, I have the Gabriel Gold Extreme cables, not the Revelation. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Well there are a 100+ hours on this cable right now. I am very pleased with the results so far. As others have said there is excellent layering and increased air. There is a natural feel to the music, especially with cymbals and vocals. At first t... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Thanks John, you've clarified things for me. I have a better idea of where you're coming from and I do agree with you on some of your points. The VD interconnects are a different animal in my system than then PCs. In fact I think I prefer the VD P... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? John, I do agree the VD cables are more power, dynamic, and the presentation is more forward. However, can you elaborate on the comment regarding natural sounding instrumental colors and hues. Any specific examples you can cite. On a side note. I ... | |
| platine motor with nylon thread Ken, as a follow-up I tried the Stren Super Braid in both the 20lb/0.23mm and 30lb/0.25mm versions. Unfortunately, both threads made my motor pod vibrate too much and you could feel the vibration of the knot as it rotated through. I tried repositi... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I will be comparing the Extremes to Virtual Dynamics Master ICs. | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End The Jaco will draw up to 2400 watts if used on a 20 amp circuit. If you need 8 outlets versus 6, and use the Jaco on a 15 amp circuit it will only draw up to 1800 watts. | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End My understanding is that the difference is the Jaco is 20 amp (Haley 15amp), with 8 outlets (Haley 6), and includes the Mongoose power cord (Haley optional upgrade). The chassis shape is different as well but the chassis material and parts inside ... | |
| Anyone tried Acrolink power cables from Japan ? Mitchb, I should have qualified that better. I came to the same conclusions you did regarding the sonic characteristics of the cables, which in my case resulted in a preference for one over the other. | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End The BPT products are good and while I preferred the Haley to the BPT I auditioned I do like the BPT power strip I have that uses Oyaide SWO-GX outlets. I plug the strip into the Haley and then plug may analog gear into the strip. | |
| Anyone tried Acrolink power cables from Japan ? My experience mirrors that of Mitchb. I bought both the Tunami and Acrolink from Audio Excellence and preferred the Tunami. Alan is great to work with and he provides a 30 day trial period so there is not much risk in evaluating each cable. | |
| vinyl storage????? I use Tony's Woodshop vinyl cubes as well. Great product at a fair price. | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Congratulations Pubul57, I'm glad this purchase worked out for you. | |
| Transport/DAC upsample question Typically the DAC does the upsampling. This could be a standard upsampling frequency, say 24/96 or 24/192, or some DACs allow you to select the upsampling frequencyHowever, my North Star transport also upsamples. Using the XLR output I can set a s... | |
| purist vs. concierto vs. elrod vs dcca power cable I'm pretty happy with the Purist Audio Dominus power cord. I use it on my amp. I have not heard the others you mentioned so I can't make any comparisons, but the PAD does exhibit the traits you desire, and it will lower the noise floor. |
