Where can I get educated about cables?
Hi, Subcoolman!I understand that you are so eager to learn and find out about cables, and thats fine. Continue so. But don't expect that when you learn "why" cables sound different in a setup you will be able to foresee how they will sound in a XY... 
FYI: Goertz Zobel Networks
Hi, Gthrushl!In my experience with various Zobel "Networks" the "best" (soundwise) place to aplicate them is on the speaker side (I use my Zobels' on the speaker side with "bananas"). Also, experiment with the "polarity" of the Zobel's - the sound... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Hi, Ivo!Nice to hear from you again! What about the price? How does it compares to the OTA cables in that respect?Now...I got curious. The 4719/20 look pretty similar to the Alpha Core Goertz cables which the OTA bettered (as many others) accordin... 
Cables "Burn In"
Pbb said:"Who cares what the claims are. Who cares what, if any, explanation is proferred. The only thing that counts is whether you hear an improvement in the sound. The rest is just techno-babble, scientific jargon and ex-post facto rationalisat... 
Dedicated power lines-getting started
Hi!In my opinion Subaruguru has done nothing wrong. Or is there someone who makes cables and other stuff for free? I believe his intensions are good. I've contacted him a few times and always got an honest answer or opinion. He has done much for t... 
IC for Audiomeca CD Players?
Hi Snook2!I have the Creatura CD player, not the Creatura transport. So I don't have the Enkianthus DAC... What did you said about the HMS cables?Cheers! 
AudioQuest RF Stoppers
Hi!Mark, I think Bob_bundus hit the point. Try it and you'll see...I also experimented with some (TDK,no name and others I can't recall...) Ferrite RF stoppers on Interconnects, PC's, speaker cables. I didn't like the results. I always felt they s... 
Review: AudioMeca Keops CD Player
Hello Guys!I own a Audiomeca Creatura CD player (it's a previous model in the Audiomeca range, costed about £1300 or around DM4000). It is a stunning machine! It replaced (bettered this combo in terms of sheer musicality) my meridian 500 transport... 
Question about Cary Audio Cables...
Hi, people!The speaker cables Cary Audio was offering at that time are no longer available. That answers my question...Bye!David. 
Has anyone upgraded power cord connectors?
Rcrump,Just found the Belden 19364. It's clear how it's to be done. Tell me: did you, and how, used the drain wire?Bye!David. 
Speakers to go with a Jolida 302b
Hi, Gdmendel!In the mentioned budget will perfectly fit Triangle Zephyr if you want a floorstanding model, or the Titus XS if you like a bookshelf model. Either way you will get speakers that mate perfectly well with tube amps(there are many peopl... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
Hi, Mikez!I agree with you when saying "B&W is mid-fi".There are some very good models but only in the very high price regions (the "bigger" Nautilus models). The one, and perhaps the only I really liked, was the B&W 801 matrixIII loudspea... 
Speaker for B.A.T vk-60?
Hi, 2live4u!Try Triangle Ventis XS or, if they're too big, the Zays XS(still pretty big) or some smaller modell.They're fantastic with tube amps, but watch out - they might be 2fast4u!Best regards,David. 
New Speakers 1k
Hi, Wiley!Try some Triangle loudspekers! They mate fabulously with tube amps - especially with Conrad-Johnson amps("meant to be married" as one reviewer said)!Don't underestimate them for being so reasonably priced!Best regards,David.
