| HiDiamond Power cords... System change back to single ended made my 2 pairs of Diamond 3 XLRs available. Great cables. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz There is a musicality, sense of ease and openness that was totally lacking in the VD. Hearing the 2 side by side you would never suspect they were made by the same designer. | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Jriggy-I would get the VAC - there is absolutely NONE of that hotness you are concerned about in the upper mids and treble. I repeat, NONE. You will LOVE this VAC piece - the tubes will impart that bit of warmth you are seeking, as well as the smo... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Jriggy- Tough question. Hard to compare because they are in very different systems with different goals and I don;t own the 160i. I would say the 160i is capable of playing more different kinds of music, especially big band, orchestra and rock, wi... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz My HF cables get better every day!! :-) | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Mbovaird - I would shoot Kevin an e-mail with your question.TM - what's the rest of your system? | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i One more post in praise of Kevin, VAC and the 160i. I took a client to the RMAF last year and into 1 of the 2 rooms where VAC was present. He was so impressed with the the 160i that with a bit of my help, HE BOUGHT THE ENTIRE ROOM!! VAC's 160i dem... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Completely and totally different technology - simplest answer without getting into the engineering, which nobody would be dumb enough to do on this forum, even if they knew it, which they don't. Rick S. has the key. I've had the best of both - the... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hifial- No problem. I was running CT-1 Ultimates and it took a really long time for the double run to start sounding decent. I was then without amps for a few months. When they came back, I changed to single Ultimate RCAs from preamp tp amps and t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Depends on the cables - that's really a Rick S. question. And no, there is really no elaboration on my amp comment - I messed something up and it got fixed. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz It is actually possible for Rick to in essence "create" a balanced cable by using 2 runs of rca's in opposite directions into a 2:1 rca to XLR Cardas connector. Its expensive, because you need to buy 2 cables for each run, and it takes longer to b... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? Just got my VAC 450 monos back from Florida after having an on-rush circuit as well as auto-bias circuitry installed in each amp, plus a few more tweaks that remain confidential to VAC.After only a day, I now have startlingly realistic sound, unli... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Quite simply - the musicians and instruments are exactly where they are supposed to be. The width of field extends beyond the speakers when it should, the depth or layering is excellent, as is the imaging. When you close your eyes, you are THERE. ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I would definitely try your source to preamp FIRST. That worked best for me, laying the foundation upon which the other cables built upon. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Not at all amazing. They are excellent cables. It is also true, as well put above, the more resolving your system is, the more you will hear the differences between the cable levels. You would think this to be common sense, but some of the comment... |
