| Black ice Audio owners, pet peaves My buddy sure is enjoying his F22 from Black Ice Audio past four months.He is not a tube roller, he simply bought it, plugged it in and uses it for his 2ch audio and even uses it with his big TV with stereo speakers quite often. Added a nice DAC a... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable AP OFC VS. OCC (Crystal)Comparing the Analysis Plus OFC (Copper Oval-In Micro) cable versus the next-level-up Analysis Plus OCC (Crystal), there is an audible difference for sure. I have both types and compare both periodically. Both are nice cabl... | |
| Any Thoughts On These? @high-amp I’d add "quality" amp first, then power (watts) comes second but still important. With 92 or 94db sensitivity speakers, I’ve heard 8-watt tube amps with big, quality, transformers make wonderful music. Excluding class-D, most of the real... | |
| Preamp tubes in power amps @jji666 Read the 2nd paragraph about Upscale and 7DJ8s in the Vk-3i preamp. Seems like staffers there might not be on the same level as uncle Kevvy. https://www.audioshark.org/balanced-audio-technology-bat-38/tube-noob-seeking-education-11051.ht... | |
| Any Thoughts On These? Comparing the Motion 40s vs. Motion 60s, if you have a really good (fast & clean) subwoofer to go along with your system, try the 40s too. Remember, AMTs are super-duper-fast. Need a good fast sub to keep up. With the smaller mid-woofers and s... | |
| Any Thoughts On These? @high-amp re; Magnolia?!@% Ignore all replies from anyone who walks into a BestBuy-Magnolia store and comments on the sound of ML Motion 60s, 40s when using their typical amp and speaker switching board setup. Its garbage, truly impacts the sound... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable The "PC" just stands for pure copper pre-pended to OCC, and possibly different source providers of the copper itself. A 6moons article for reference, and who knows where the real story originated or what is true. The conductor is part of the desig... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable @cmariner1 Wow, what a crew of deluded nit pickers. I'll bet a leg that not one of you could tell the difference in a coat hanger or one of these rip off cables.Some people can hear a notable difference. Some cannot, with no need beyond zip cord o... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable @fuzztone Analysis Plus wants 1000% more $$$ for AG balanced ICs than Dyson Audio asks. Hard to believe that they sound 10 X better. Looks like they are recouping funds for the patent.Patent was paid long ago, and now it’s called profit. Home Audi... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable @hilde45 see last photo of the USAM link you provided. These are bi-wire speaker cables. One end has two connectors, the other end has four, | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs A matching pair of the newer version REL T/9X, one per channel, would be plenty with your 2-way/6.5" Salk monitor speakers and 60wpc tube amps. Also prefer the forward firing woofer w/bottom firing passive design of the 9x. | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs @wolf_garcia wolf_garcia"...The bad news is that REL won’t service them. If one dies I would try to find somebody to fix it,..."Good point to bring up for others to see. This is the problem with buying older -2 prior generation used subs, and whe... | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs Keeping the model, year, version the same with dual subs is smart. Buying a pair together closer in serial number helps ensure there is less chance of variation. | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @mahgisterThen it is the amplifier...case closed...When paying attention to the details, kinda seems that way doesn't it ;) |
