| Most Important, Unloved Cable... At this time one of the favorites is WireWorld Starlight CAT8. That may not end up the overall favorite when I am finished with the survey. That's all I will give up until the survey is published. I see Supra Cat8 sold in bulk. Is that the cable? ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... paul79, I was not referring specifically to power cables with filtering, but to any cable with filtering. I have had ICs with such and not been impressed. Nice discussion, I won't write them off entirely. Assessment of the Ethernet cables continue... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Nice to see some folks discovering TEO. Wig, I think you will like the Splash; it sounds mighty fine in my system! If anyone wishes to read more about the upper end interconnects as well as the speaker cables they can see my review of TEO Audio at... | |
| My Dog Broke-in My New Purist Audio Bi-Wired Cables Ah, damping, ok. | |
| Clarity Cable Review calvinj, you have good ears, if I say so myself! Congrats! You have found one of the cables I consider to be among the very best. Clarity has been used in my system for six years following my review. It has bested sets up to $50K. | |
| My Dog Broke-in My New Purist Audio Bi-Wired Cables I feel for those who are passionate about audio, then find that their beloved pet has assaulted the system! That's a "no win" in my book. Do you give the dog away, or the system? ;)So, Purist cables leak, eh? Hmmm... I wonder if they are using a l... | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys.. fighting under their weight class? Budget of $15-20K? You should not even be thinking twice about this! With a budget like that you will be able to procure a transducer which would walk all over the Osprey's performance. It's a simple matter of what you get for the money. The ospre... | |
| Wife trouble ebm, I expect you pick up no less than two pair of Magico speakers. LOL ;)What are you in the market for? | |
| Wife trouble In your system pics it seems you were turning your living space into a used/repair audio shop. A woman wants a home, not a garage. Show her some respect and let her have a living space. Find some agreement and your relationship can blossom! | |
| Wife trouble Is there hope for reconciliation? Get rid of some gear, fast! It's never worth losing someone you love over stuff! Get your wife back and LOSE the unnecessary old gear! Adapt, man! If you were a hoarder it eats at the spouse like a cancer. Show y... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... paul79, I'm not overly excited about a filtering cable based on my experiences with filtering products, but I will refrain from further comment as I have no experience with Totaldac. I suspect there would be strong reaction positive or negative to... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Oh, wow, CD, optical cable... yuck. Sorry, but just yuck. Not even close to what can be achieved with file playback and USB DAC and of course Ethernet cable. Not even close... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... dynaquest14, You're talking to a person who did ABX testing and passed it multiple times. So, don't talk to me about "want/need/paid to hear". | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... shadorne, you stated, "Badly designed or faulty equipment will indeed be vulnerable to unintended pathways. Always better to get good equipment to begin begin with rather than band aid things by finding the least bad sounding Ethernet cable !!!!!"... | |
| Quad ESL 63- how should it sound? Talk to Kent at Electrostatic Solutions; he would be among the very best at diagnosing and potentially repairing. |
