| Gauge + Length +Material = Sound This was from Ted Denney directly at Synergistic who said there would be a rapid drop off in performance of a speaker cable under 6 feet. I would have thought the other way around but there does seem to to be some negatives with my short cable exp... | |
| Gauge + Length +Material = Sound Just moved my monoblocks up to my speakers and went from 5.5 feet of solid teflon covered 12 gauge Neotech Occ ohno down to 6 inches.The sound is cleaner, more direct and live, but losing a bit in fullness. Anther downside is my tweeters are hotte... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic Well I must agree that the SR Accelerator I owned did have the rare ability to sound natural and yet expand the soundstage. The other few cables and power cords that I have tried which were what I would describe as natural sounding, I also found t... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic If the Raptures were a little less money then I would give them a try. Unfortunately they are in the same price range as the SR. I do like the harmonic richness aspect that I also found to be lacking in the SR.Any other suggestions for IC's below ... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic Thanks for the comparison. I also found that in my system there was a general neutral tone of the Accelerators. Some say lack of tone change is a good thing. For me I actually don't mind adding just a little something between the DAC and preamp he... | |
| Best 6 inch speaker cable suggestions needed. I am leaning towards trying some of the various alloy wires as it should not cost too much to try short lengths. So I'm now currently trying to find the best source(s) for it.The various things I will have to consider are:-terminate ends or not (i... | |
| Best 6 inch speaker cable suggestions needed. I will contact both of you off line.Any other suggestions appreciated. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Any comparisons of old Designers Ref with new Tesla Line?I used to have a Tesla accelerator IC and thinking of going back to SR cables as I liked the air, naturalness and deep soundstage. However the pricing on the Tesla cables is more than I want... | |
| Different length digital cables all true 75 ohms? I was thinking about your last statement regarding the square root of a cables inductance divided by the capacitance gives the impedance.Many high and low end cable manufacturers will use the same cable that they use in their interconnects and spe... | |
| Different length digital cables all true 75 ohms? Thank you Al for clearing that up for me. I guess I don't have to worry about it, unless I suppose it was some stupid long length cable. | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic I guess I will just have to find out for myself about the virtues of gold in cables through experimentation.Unfortunately I realized since my earlier post the planned GG Raptures even at the used price of 1K might be over my budget and will consid... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic Hopefully within the next number of weeks I plan on trying my first gold based interconnect. I'm thinking of Gabriel Gold Rapture as the price seems somewhat lower than some others. I have not changed equipment since I had the Accelerators but obv... | |
| Someone tell me where to find wooden volume knobs Cut a disc off a fat dowel from home depot and drill it then stain. | |
| Comparing Ultraverve to CJ 16 or Supratek preamps Well the responses are encouraging regarding keping the Ultraverve. Actually mine has Vcap teflon caps in it (along with a few other tweaks) so it may or may not be better than the original. I might try to sub them out with some Mundorf Silver/Oil... | |
| Which cables and ics allow the biggest soundstage? Yes all those other things contribute but cables will vary in how they influence the soundstage hence why I ask as I have not got around to trying as many cables as some seem to have here.My own limited trials have me using Discovery Signature int... |
