new Triode Wire Labs rave review at StereoTimes
" Because in direct comparison with many other cables in many different systems it is a clear winner time and time again (regardless of the physics or engineering process behind them). "The problem is, when you read a scientific sounding explanati... 
new Triode Wire Labs rave review at StereoTimes
My 2 cents: if the selling point of this cable is the Litz braiding as the review seems to imply -- it might as well have none.This helps for the skin effect, which is non-existent as 60Hz. But worse, the power cable only carries one frequency, so... 
Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"?
Connecting the cable to a fridge is a great idea. I actually tried it at some point but found the sound coming the the cable to be a bit too cold. So I connected the cable to the stove for a couple of days and voila! Perfectly burned in cable. You... 
Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"?
I just realized that the LHC (the large particle accelerator built in Switzerland that recently found the Higgs Boson and contains billions of dollars worth of unbelievably sensitive detectors) probably did not burn in their cables! Shall we let t... 
Anyone compare DH Silver Sonic to WW Silver USB?
Dear RW, you have obviously not heard of those snake-oil lubricated cables---it makes the electrons travel faster, and in a more ordinate fashion. 
Weak link
Thanks all for your input. I have been looking around, and I see basically three ways I could go with this budget:vintage tube gear: eg. arc sp2, or heathkit sp2 that are 25+ years oldnew SS preamp : e.g. emotiva usp1new chinese manufactured tube ... 
Weak link
Thanks to all for you answers. So I connected the Onkyo to the Carver via line-2 out, after turning the knobs on the back of the carver way down. I could only listen to radio in this setup, but it definitely feels like a veil has been lifted! It w... 
Weak link
lowrider57: yes this is the correct link, it is a receiver.The line 2 out only works for analog sources, which is not ideal but fine; but the main issue is that there is no volume control for line 2 out. The carver has no volume control either (on... 
Digital inputs to zone 2 out
The digital source is an optical cable with Dolby encoding, but that can be changed to PCM. It comes out of a Logitech Revue, which does not have analog output unfortunately.I tried various connections and it seems that what can get out of zone 2,... 
Digital inputs to zone 2 out
Hi, thanks for the link but according the the rc360 manual, only analog sources can be output from zone 2 -- it would make sense (I think) that zone 2 = zone 1 should be possible whatever the source(digital or analog) since no additional dac is re... 
Good budget amp for Mirage M1
Thanks to all for these very helpful answers! I ordered some gauge 10 cables from Blue Jean and am looking at used heathkit now. The emotiva seems a bit out of my range at this time. Are they ever on sale?Also, carver is a name I came across with ...
