| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Sean; where are the Mobie and Cable Cooker available from? Thanks. Garfish the Believer. | |
| Power Cord Preferances Sg69; Others have answered your questions. I will just add that Syn. Res. Master Couplers are one of the original power cords that started the "Craze" and made believers out of many. There are now a ton of them available here on Audiogon for $150-... | |
| Audioquest Diamondbacks -- HELP -- Hi March; I'd give them 80-100 hrs. But successful matching of ICs to system really is a "system dependent" thing. If you like your old ICs, go from there. I would suggest going through the Cable Co. so you can audition many different ICs. The Cab... | |
| Bi-Amp success story Hi (again) Joel; Thanks for the detailed info. on your bi-amp setup. Your Yamaha amps are more powerful than I expected, especially dynamically. I don't know what order cross overs your Kappa 9 speakers use, but Vand. 3As use 1st order-- this is t... | |
| Is my Salesman telling the Truth? Interestingly, an experienced Audiogon member (who has researched and auditioned many wires) is very likely to have much broader, and more in-depth knowledge than many sales people about wires, IMHO.I've done a lot of business at my nearest hifi s... | |
| Bi-Amp success story Hi Joel; Thanks for sharing your experience(s) with bi-amping. The subject is quite interesting to me as I am planning a "passive" bi-amp set-up myself in the next month or so. I have Vandersteen 3As, and Vand. Audio highly recommends passive vert... | |
| New Stereophile recommended list I read and enjoy Stereophile even though they have gone "downhill" the last few years. Victor makes a compelling, well stated argument. At first, Stereophile just used the A+ rating for digital "stuff" which I could make a case for-- but the A+ cl... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Brian; my first Rx was not to post on this thread-- maybe embarassed as Kelly noted, or maybe a little paranoid? But many more expensive systems than mine are out there-- and by a LOT-- i don't feel so dumb anymore:>). $40K in main rig includin... | |
| Audio s impact on enviroment I can identify with several of the comments made above: Elizabeth; I believe in ZPG too, and we have just one child-- a great daughter; J-K, I really do use less than 30 gallons of gas a month, but my PU is kind of a gas hog.Although I do have two... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Sean; just gotta' add: I think your thread is good, but the title-- shall we say "a bit provocative"? IMO. I'll quit now....Craig | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? .........should have been more specific-- Brulee, Ramesh where do you get the Duo Tech burn in devices? Re: the Nordost, I'm guessing they have a website? Thanks. Craig | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Brulee pretty much summed up my feelings and experiences with "wire" burn in. I often use the XLO burn-in CD. BTW, where do you get the wire burn-in devices? I too am tired of running all my electronics 14 hrs. a day to burn in wires. Sean; it's p... | |
| Is sound "additive"? Felthove-- you're right-- weird question, and thinking about it makes my head hurt, but presumably much of it would depend on room size and acoustic properties, ie the way sound "bounces" off the walls and around the room. IMO the bigger the room ... | |
| BIAMPING Hi Sfrounds; You may be interested; there is passive vertical biamping and passive horizontal biamping. To do vertical biamping you need a pair of identical stereo or dual mono amps (ideally). In vertical biamping, one channel drives the bass of t... | |
| What causes listener fatique? cure? As mentioned above, I agree that there are many different things that can cause listener fatigue, and I've found it's usually electronics, wires etc. too. John_1 has a good list, But one more: as the tubes in my pre-amp reach the end of their usef... |
