| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz T-Expect considerably more break-in time required than with your previous ICs. Its just a given. During break-in, I gradually heard flashes of what was to come, which kept me going. Now, I couldn't be happier. You DO get a bit spoiled however, as ... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or K-01 Not in the least. With Tim leaving, I'll be very surprised if Integra/Onkyo will be able to support them very well. They should have been nicer to Tim.....I'm still waiting for news on the DSD retrofit which was promised by the end of the year to ... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or K-01 Very well stated, Guido. Similar settings work on my P-02/D-02. Have a Happy New Year!! | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I have the Ultimate Reference speaker cables. They are quite good, after what seemed like forever break-in. I never had the Ultimate speaker cables so can't really help you with a comparison - wish I could.I completely agree with the 2nd component... | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects Bigkidz-As far as I know, nothing has changed. Rick has added 3 models of further refinement and performance beyond the original CT-1(Enhanced, Ultimate and Ultimate Reference). In addition, as people are finally starting to listen to Rick and bre... | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects I don't understand your question. | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects Bigkidz- Any perceived thinness in bass for the HF cables is due to not enough breakin of the cables. the musicality is there in spades, as is the bass, once the cables are properly broken in. It DOES TAKE PATIENCE. I am inpatient as the next guy,... | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects Cables are very subjective. If you read through the 2 latest threads on these 2 brands, both mention the other and there is a lot of comparing and contrasting.For my system, I found the High Fidelity speaker cables and rca's work the best (highest... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Not Necessarily. These don't "cook" like normal cables. Cooking helps, but there is no substitute for time in the system. That has been my experience. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Siddh- Give them some time and don't be so quick to judge - they need more breakin than the Hi Diamonds because they are a different technology. Once the HF speaker cables get broken in, my experience is that there is nothing anywhere near their p... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hey Guido-The various Hi Diamond dealers pick and choose where they exhibit. I deal with the distributor in Canada and I couldn't really see him making this trip, although many others from other gear have come much further for the chance to exhibi... | |
| Loss of a good man, friend, audiophile Rainwater My condolences to his family. Brent was a great guy and he will definitely be missed. Rest in Peace Brent. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz You probably won't get a specific answer to a question like this - it makes no sense to belittle or disparage any other brands on a thread like this. Cable choice is also very subjective as well as system dependent. For these and many other reason... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hey Guido!I've always preferred running single-ended to my amps, but was having a bit of trouble doing that with the Statement 450's after I "over-adjusted" them at some point (OK,user-error - there, I said it). Anyway, balanced would run fine but... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... I just put my Hi Diamond 3 XLR cables (2 meter pair and 4 meter pair) up for sale on Audiogon. I changed system configuration away from balanced a number of months ago and these were just sitting with all the other cables that make up my current s... |
