| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords I think all cables, whether they are PC's, IC's or spkr. cables, are tone controls of some sort. Some are intentionally made that way, others have tone adjustments as artifacts of the design, so the end result is a tone adjustment of some sort.I b... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords Have you tried the Flavor 4 yet? | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? Instead of expounding on what's been said, which I believe all have their merits, let me just give you another example of what can work together.I have a $9k amp and a $150.00 passive. Yes, those are the NIB prices. I'm on a preamp quest but haven... | |
| Managing stiff PC on lightweight component Raise the cable off the floor until it's equal to the IEC jack. Since you've already raised them some, just stick something else under the lifters. You can also make a simple lift with strings & sticks in a variety of style, the easiest prob. ... | |
| Managing stiff PC on lightweight component I've used some big PC's before that fell out of the IEC jack, so I just tied some old shoelaces to the back of the rack using a sliding knot & adjust the tension as to balance the unit (if applicable) on an isolation device.BTW, I found the sm... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Gotta give it to Dread Zep. If you're into Bluegrass, check out Luther Wright & the Wrongs rendition of "The Wall" titled "Rebuild the Wall". Not as bizarre as Dread Zep but fun to play.check this out | |
| Power cord to add ease and tame treble. TG Audio 688 on the CDP plus some good isolation under it. | |
| Seeking warm, smooth musical amp 2k with features How about a Pass Aleph 30 for the amp & use your Arcam for the pre? I would also suggest some aftermarket PC's & outlets. If you're happy with the Signal Cable, go that route, although I've not used them myself. As for tweaks, check out th... | |

| Supratek chrome plated chassis cleaning? My chrome polish of choice is Mother's Mag polish. | |
| To much high You can also experiment with spkr. positioning, the most radical being a severe toe in to give you nearfield listening to eliminate most of the room. This should help identify how much the room affects the sound or if it's the gear.Then again, you... | |
| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? I just want to echo what Tvad said, that is, you must try them in your system to know for sure.Don't take this the wrong way but regardless of the cable, they all act like tone controls to some extent, as does the rest of the gear in your system. | |
| Review: VH Audio Flavor 4 Power cord As for break in procedure, I have one of those IEC to AC adapters & just plug the PC into a very heavy duty fan I have out in the garage & turn it on for a week. The Flavor 4 is the best PC I've put on my amp and pre amp for that matter. B... | |
| Looking to Upgrade Amp & Preamp Given your total budget, I'd skew it a little & go for a used Ayre V-5x and either an ARC or Classe pre. There are several models available & I haven't tried many of them but they work nicely together & there are no gain/impedance issu... | |
| Limited budget-spend more money on amp or preamp? Given those budget constraints, I would go with the best amp I could get & use a passive. There are several passives to pick from in the $150.00 range or you might even consider attenuators. This is taking into consideration the other componen... |
