| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). That kind of makes sense. But it would be nice if the advertising copy (online, boxes, price book) was at least consistent and explained the differences ... still as you say who cares as long as it performs. Good news is the 2M source I have looks... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). So the official AQ line is “we changed to all silver but we don’t provide any way of you knowing what you’ve got, in fact we ship it in a box labeled copper and silver” .... pretty stupid if you ask me | |
| HFT High Frequency Transducer All the answers you need can be found here -- and yes there are benefits to morehttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/synergistic-research-hft-s?highlight=HFTBut you could make your own :-) | |
| Where to Purchase New Tubes for Audio Research Preamp? Another shout for Kevin -- he is expert in matching to ARC gear and his prices seem better than the vendor you linked to | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Oh and to the question are AQ cables made in China? The answer is definitively YES. The box my brand new Dragon came in is labeled “made in China” but also “Perfect Surface Metals made in USA”. So maybe this keeps everyone satisfied 😜 | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Suppose a local dealer has a Dragon50% cable (original version) in stock, he can put it in a 100% silver dragon box and sell it at a different price (the boxes of Audioquest are not sealed ); because there are no clear differences between the two ... | |
| Phono Preamp Settings/Question - Help Please Correct, as to whether you will have enough headroom I suspect it will be fine as long as your record diet is not primarily house 12” singles (see here for a discussion of what the 1kHz 5 cm/sec means https://repforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php?to... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). The newer Dragon will also have the carbon DBS instead of the black, but as these can be bought separately and swapped after the fact that is not a definitive identifier 🤨Net net is demand complete paperwork if purchasing used, or work with a reli... | |
| Phono Preamp Settings/Question - Help Please The phono stage has either (appx) 52 or 58dB of gain on the MC setting, the higher number with the +6dB switch engaged. This is based on the spec (p5) of 0.3V out for 0.8mV in. For MM it’s 36/42dBHowever this assumes you use the MC inputs and you ... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). @adi74 a few things to look for1) The V2 (all silver) is thinner gauge (12 AWG vs 11 AWG for the high current) so should be more flexible -- of course you could only tell if you had them side by side (and for the source cable the gauge stays at 16... | |
| RCA Shorting Plugs @ericsch absolutely yes, and in highly resolving systems it may sound better as well ... I swear by these (plus BNC versions on the plethora of those inputs on my CD player) | |
| Audioques Power cable Dragon vs Hurricane what difference in low frequencies @adi74 to deal with your questions. Firstly unfortunately I will not be able to do the old/new Dragon comparison as my old ones are 20A and dedicated to my amps, the new is for my pre-amp (or if need be somewhere else in my digital stack).I would ... | |
| Audioques Power cable Dragon vs Hurricane what difference in low frequencies Oh and btw @adi74 Dragon has been revised and is now 100% silver -- the PSS/PSC+ cable is now called Firebird. So you need to know which version of Dragon you are getting (my comments above relate to the original 11 gauge copper/silver model) | |
| Audioques Power cable Dragon vs Hurricane what difference in low frequencies @adi74 before you run off and jump in another direction because of one person’s suggestion you may benefit from a second opinion. I own and use both top of the line SR (Galileo) and AQ (Dragon) in my system -- both are good, the SR emphasize fully... |
