| Koetsu black, lacking bass Anyone here know what ’Platinum magnets’ are??? The Somarium Cobalt magnets are less powerful than neodymium magnets ( used in the Lyra’s)...as are just about all other magnet materials! | |
| Romex to your amp? @buckhorn_cortez. Not quite right...the zoning departments do have the ability to enforce zoning compliance. This means that if one were to build a structure without the necessary permits --and thereby also not meeting building codes, said departm... | |
| Koetsu black, lacking bass Compared to a Lyra Kleos, the Koetsu Black is going to sound less resolving in the bass...and frankly IMO every else in the frequency spectrum as well. The Black will sound warmer than the Kleos. I suspect what you are thinking is clarity is in fa... | |
| Why discussions generate into personal affronts... Having just been banned again from another audiophile forum, I can tell you that politics plays a big BIG part of why mods and forum owners get antsy. Many times, IME, the forum owners begin to believe that they are the B all and end all of the we... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Ok folks, would you spend $2.70- for a nice paint upgrade, because to a ton of folks...paying $27,000- is the same equivalent, as it is to you paying $2.70-! | |
| Romex to your amp? @delkal. I don’t think many(any?)of us actually have much experience with anything else in our walls. So, the actual SQ is a hard point to debate. | |
| Romex to your amp? Just to be clear. Everything that skipskip posted above is completely correct and I agree with it 100%. My OP was questioning the aspect of whether my friend would have a valid point. If we take this scenario one step further, and agree ( or not?)... | |
| Romex to your amp? Having replaced some Supra Lorad power cable in my system just recently, I can certainly attest to the significant improvement in SQ that the new cables brought. Still, my friends question seemed to have merit, even though that last six feet of ca... | |
| Romex to your amp? I agree that it is not that practical to run Romex all the way to the amp...and presumably not to code; but the question is whether this set up would compete with mega $$ power cords SQ wise that are readily available to the hobbyist? | |
| The Doug Macleod appreciation thread One of the reasons that I started this thread is because I think Doug is a tremendously talented musician. Playing blues guitar myself, I have a great appreciation for his talent and his skill set on the guitar. To add his killer vocal ability and... | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing @stereo5 +1The OP just seems to be on a quest that is his own...with little thought to any of these factors. I am off this thread...total waste of time. | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing @mozartfan What are you talking about with the 'cheap' connectors on the back of Jadis amps?? Cheap 2 cent brass posts...i don't think so~On the newer Jadis amps, the connectors are superb in all ways. Do you have experience with all of the Jadis... | |
| Esoteric K-03 / K-01 Leave Power On ? Leaving a component always on...will ultimately lead to capacitors drying out. Since this fact is always overlooked by manufacturer’s who recommend a component to be always on ( or sitting idle, but connected to power), I thought it would be helpf... | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II I think YG's are superb. BUT you had better have a VERY powerful ss amp to drive them. I am not sure that a tube amp with less than 300 watts/ch would suffice. Whereas the OP's current Magico is an easier load. What amp are you using to drive the ... | |
| Ching Cheng Power Cords @mofimadness Sorry, no good! Those are NOT blessed by the all knowing, all seeing guru! ....;0) |
