| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Blkadr (Black Adder perhaps) brings up a point which I reject, at least in part. Audiophilia is terminology used to explain those of us who care ALOT about our HiFi systems and their capabilities to re-create musical events well enough for us to s... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? That's the ticket! Yeah, batteries...I have some special audiohile edition batteries for sale designed by Professor Lipschitz from We Hosem Inc. Correction, I of course meant to say there are "none better" than the MIT PC's for non digital applica... | |
| Best Cables for around $500 Owned the colorado XLR's as well...very clear, harmonicaly complete but a bit hard sounding. The MIT's will give you everything the Colorado's offer, but add better texture, fullnss, dynamic swing and 3D palpability as "you are there in the same r... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? No to the battery DIY thing...you need an Anode and a Cathode wire for each one running inside the cable bundle. It expediates the dielectric warm up/breakin effect. In other words, the cable is always ready to go full throttle with no warm up or ... | |
| Best Cables for around $500 Owned #'s 1,4,5,6 and 7. AQ Columbia wins in all categories. I would suggest MIT AVT1 cabling however, as it is more dimensional and allows for a more vividly realistic portrayel of the sonic event. Online prices are 50% msrp FYI:O) | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? I have an AQ power cord with DBS, which kind of doesn't make sense, since it's charged all the time from the AC, but I does like the sound....alot!! | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Anything for the "good cause" my dear fellow! Here here, spit spot, cheerio and all that:O) | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? All I can speak to is my own experience with silver cables. The difference was not always night and day, but it definately decreased my enjoyment of listening to my system (s) over time. | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Copper vs Silver is akin to listening to a performance at the BSO vs The New York Philharmonic (at the original Avery Fisher Hall). One is gloriously musical, while the latter was hard, bright and cold sounding. Metals have a sound. Pure silver ca... | |
| Best CD player under $25000. When I had the $50K+ systems I listened to the equipment. My new, simpler setup wt the yaoin tube buffer makes me crave listening to the many great performances I have on disc like a stoner craves food! The NAD/Yaoin combo is magical and that is t... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Yes, everything sounds better after being played awhile. FYI, pure silver cables are not the most musical choice:O) | |
| Best CD player under $25000. Recenly put together a small system in my sitting room with an NAD C565BEE using a Yaoin Tube buffer wt a JAN Phillips LN 6922 tube that blows away any of the $15K front ends I've had. It's just more musically correct and involving. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player I'm not sure really, as my time with the NAD and the Yaoin tube buffer have only been with the new setup. All I can say is that I have never been more addicted to listening as I am now. So, in my current system, I would have to say that I do not m... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I have found that a spoon full of tube magic helps the digital go down....the digital go down, the digital go down! Specifically, the Yaoin Tube Stage Buffer, which adds harmonic completeness t a digital front end! | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player I have an MIT Magnum AC2 on my NAD C375BEE, an Audioquest NRG3 wt EMF filters on the C565BEE, an MIT Magnum AC1 on my Totem Dreamcatcher sub and an old ARC Ref 3 preamp PC I had laying around for my Yaqin buffer. The more i listen the more enthral... |
