| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @lalitk Thanks so much for the full explanation. I take your point about different cable shining depending on the frequency. BTW, that looks like an amazing set of speakers. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain. | |
| Spending a month's salary @tee_dee i have a Boulder 866. I love it. Great sound, power, and flexibility (mine has the DAC). But if my budget were 20k, I think I’d go with something a bit cheaper for the integrated amp with built-in DAC. I haven’t heard them, but the Heg... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @lalitk would you mind giving more detail on your tri-wire set up? I’m particularly interested in why you chose the three different types for the various applications. Thanks in advance. | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @lalitk thanks for the kind words. I’m really happy with how my system sounds now. Are you using Hijiri speaker cables? I’m shopping for new speaker cables, but haven’t heard much about the Hijiris, vs the Hijiri power cable. Thanks in advance ... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @gochurchgo I've had two Takumi PCs in my system for a few weeks now. I find them very musical, but also accurate with no bloom (a descriptor I associate with tube equipment I've had and enjoyed). | |
| Choosing new cables @bobheinatz I love the 866 too. Really happy with it on all counts. The Takumi is still breaking in, but most prominent to me so far is increased detail and musicality. To my ear, there is a better sense of flow without loss of precision with r... | |
| Choosing new cables @bobheinatz I have the Boulder 866 in a simple system with the Project RS2 CD Box transport and Joseph Perspective2s. I just initiated a cable upgrade with a similar budget. I have tried a number of different power cables with the 866, including ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations You might check out Silversmith Fidelium. A completely different design than what you listed, I believe, but thin (like tape) and flexible. They are at or near the top of your budget. I’ve been very happy with mine. And Jeff is great to work with... | |
| QStab NSE CD Stabilizer/ Highly Recommended for Jay's/Avatar CD Transport! Re using the Qstab with the Project RS2 CD Box, to make mine fit, I sanded down the knob on the top, and then removed material from the bottom. It now fits. However, the magnet on the Qstab is so strong that when I remove it, I have to press dow... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls Aaron from Now Listen Here came by my house earlier this week and was a huge help with regard to placement and toe in. It was a great visit and I am very appreciative. He also brought a set of Transparent Ultra speaker cables. They definitely we... | |
| New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables I had a great moment listening with my wife last night. I stopped halfway through Hejira and switched my Cerious lumniscate digital AES back in, taking out another cable. After I restarted Hejira, she looked up and said, “what did you just do? Thi... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls @prof so happy to hear about your experience with 2112. Side one, in particular, is one of my favorites and I have yet to spin it since I bought the Perpective2s. I’ll have to move that up in the queue. I still have so much music to try out wit... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls @thr1961 Down to the Waterline off of Dire Straits’ first album was a revelation for me with my Perspective2s. So much air and space around the guitar notes in the introduction. The sound of the guitar is just perfect. Just stunning. I like th... | |
| speaker cable question I have the silversmith fideliums and am very happy with them in my system. | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls Re cabling, I am using Silversmith Fidelium with my Perspective2s. They sound great. My dealer recommended Transparent ultra bi wire but I haven’t pulled the trigger on that. I did order biwire connectors from Silversmith. In my experience, sp... |
