| Cable curmudgeon @rodman99999 SO MANY variables and: life’s SO SHORT! Happy listening! +10, best insight yet. Could not agree more. 👍 | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @jl1ny with your digi coax and ICs, I would likely prefer the speaker cables you have right now. If I may say, I don't think I'd opt change a thing. Smooth up front, in the middle, and wide open transparency in the back. Very nice as-is. | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @jl1ny you might be okay with those, not too bad at all, and circling back on other areas to mess with next. What ICs do you have from source(s) to pre/amp now? | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I wonder if Viva got a bad batch all from the same lot (giant box o’ tubes), rattled apart or something maybe from a dropped box in shipping from afar. Who knows, they’ll have to answer to you’all on that. Over the years had good luck with them, h... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @rocray , I just went there and saw a few pairs listed. Globe Balloons and Black plate pairs listed, both. Could be sporadic supply or them playing games making it look like they are low inventory to get people to buy "last few pairs" each day. T... | |
| Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare? 2021 A'gon thread here: Quote: @sdl4 "Because my early listening favored the sound of the Fusion over the Arcadia, I spent more time with the Fusion and made direct comparisons with my reference XLR, the Cardas Clear Reflection. In comparison to... | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 compared to Analysis Plus Solo Crystal @vinylvalet and some might say truly great designs can last over decades, done right the first time. A good friend was sharing this week how an overseas manufacturer of a posh brand of cars has had 3 different part numbers for ignition starters pa... | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 compared to Analysis Plus Solo Crystal @vinylvalet Which ones did you have? AP makes Chocolate Oval-In, Oval One, Copper Oval-In Micro, Solo Crystal Oval, Silver Apex and each model is a different design, different metallurgy, and each sounds different from one to the next. And nota... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @coachpoconnor After reading this entire thread, I’ve decided to order a set Linlai E-6sn7. I recently purchased a SLP-98; ... Forgot to ask, did you buy two or four of the Linlai 6SN7s? Tip: if you’ve not discovered this yet, and only boug... | |
| Cable curmudgeon audiophiliac Steve G did a video a while back on cables, and said something like "if you see free wire in a garbage can, try it". "If it sounds good to you, good for you." | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @mikey8811 thanks, by chance are your two sets of interconnects close to the same length, where you can swap them and put the Clear Beyond first (DAC>Pre) and the Clear Reflection from (Pre>Amp)? Sometimes I do this to get an idea, where ... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @audioman58 so I take it you did not demo/try Clear interconnects then? While I've heard it before on other's systems, have not gone back to Cardas to try Clear interconnects on my system since I moved on to AP. Good news, I tune my front end... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @jl1ny @sdl4 Thanks for your replies. I’m looking to experiment with something about half way between Cardas Clear Reflections and some of the more transparent OCC interconnects I own and use today, AP/Crystal OCC. I formerly owned Clear Reflectio... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @jl1ny I do a lot of late nite low volume listening and the slight boost brings my listening to a near perfect setting. Great point. I do a lot of late low level listing too. People rarely talk about this requirement, and for those who seek th... | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @audioman58 have you found the Eclipse (OCC) provides the same type of timbre, tone, and body heard with most of the upper end Cardas interconnects? |
