| brulee fails PC challenge JHunter: It would seem from what I experienced when rerouting the speaker cable, that bending the wire is a part of what effects the sound, as it was just moved and not disconnected. I would guess that this would vary depending on the design of th... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? You guys are too kind. Or are you? | |
| brulee fails PC challenge No explanation, but I find this to be true of anything that I "switch" in my setup (both cables and electronics that have already been broken in). Like you, Bruce, it takes a day and a half or two for everything to sound the same (familiar) again,... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Bruce, it's good to have your endorsement of the product. I wired up a friends system (speaker wire only) with the extra cable that I had and he asked last week if he could run it for another month (which means that I won't be getting it back:-). ... | |
| Barebone 2A3 or SET Amp and speaker MrGil: Have you tried subbing another 6922 type for the 6N1P tube? I did not when I had the amp in my possesion as I could not locate them at the time, but wonder what a nice soft Amperex or Mullard would sound like. I agree with buying the best p... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? I do them all the time, it's my new life. Where have you been? I don't do judge and jury anymore (just make obvious observations on my own) so, you will have to answer the other questions on your lonesome. | |
| What's wrong with my Cal Delta/Sigma? How long has it been powered up and what were you using as a source before? Might want to check the tubes in the DAC as well. Most of the tubes that I receive in the mail sound like crap for a couple of days (both signal and output) as they seem t... | |
| Damping Factor Thanks Poulkirk, for an answer that I can mostly understand. I have always wondered this about tube and some SS designs, in regard to the bass response. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? It's probably not 702's fingers on the keyboard, just some auto reply device that he has devised, to take the thought out of not thinking, let alone hearing. | |
| Barebone 2A3 or SET Amp and speaker The ASL stuff looks pretty cool too (especially the EL34 mono blocks with a volume pot each), but I have never listened to them. | |
| Is "WHAT HI-FI" a good read? Bigboy: If they dont take the time to run in the components, how accurate can the reviews be? I just broke in my DAC after an upgrade (200+ hours) and it does not even sound like the same unit that I took out of the shipping carton. Is it a defini... | |
| Barebone 2A3 or SET Amp and speaker Hi Paul: You may want to look into the amps at Decware.com which to me sound very similar to the 2A3 amps that I have listened to in that they are extremely detailed and good at the frequency extremes. I listened to a very early version of their b... | |
| Damping Factor Is "zero feedback" in an amplifier design referring to damping in any way? | |
| Is "WHAT HI-FI" a good read? PS: In the past I have noticed that some raving 5 star components reviewed by What Hi-Fi only rate 3-4 stars from Hi-Fi Choice (quite a spread I would say). In addition if you go through the old reviews you will see that Hi-Fi Choice has returned ... | |
| Is "WHAT HI-FI" a good read? I liked the old Hi-Fi Choice a lot (probably because they agreed with my opinion of a lot of the older equipment that they have reveiwed in the past:-). However they seem to have reorganized and the new reviews are not anywhere near as informative... |
