| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS @audioman58 Thanks for pointing out how the Beatles albums were recorded, although I think many people who just joined the audiophile community in the past 20 years are unlikely to have those recordings, as it seems they are much younger than yo... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Transient response has been written about in audio journals for the past 50 years. And it is not my experience that it is a synonym for low distortion. Could you elucidate on that, because I must be misunderstanding you. I can understand that som... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? Thanks, Willie Wonka. I was about to reply to ghdprentice about that, and say, essentially, what you just said. The noise floor’s lowest level is likely to drop with a better designed power cord. That’s part of the reason I like Shunyata. I have... | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison This is more a suggestion, after using Shunyata for 20 years. (part of that time, I also had Nordost, Transparent and Synergistic). Shunyata cables (and Shunyata will tell you this) sound "good" in the first 50 hours, but for those of us familiar... | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison One correction from my post. I don’t mean to suggest that simply being young means that people haven’t heard - or aren’t interested in - listening carefully (although it certainly sounds that way on re-reading it). I’m saying there are fewer oppo... | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison After years of reading threads on cables, I’ve come to an awareness that the people who are complaining demonstrate a number of issues. 1) They don’t listen to acoustic music (meaning minimally invasive engineering while recording the music), and... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response I agree that Magnepans are excellent on transient response. And even more so if it is a 2.7x, which has a ribbon tweeter. And, while I owned WATTS for several generations and have heard the Sashas, I doubt they have ANYthing on Magnepans if it is... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? I’m not sure I agree that a better power cord is a poor idea for less expensive electronics. The right cord should - at the very least - lower the noise floor, so you hear less electronic interference when playing music, resulting in a clearer so... | |
| Baltimore MD There is an audio club in the Baltimore/DC area already. Are you familiar with it? | |
| Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight? I use a VPI brick, or one of the late Lloyd Walker's Valid Points. Both are heavy enough to keep components from tipping. | |
| Do your ears deceive you? I’m still surprised that people cannot hear differences in cables. For me, nothing could be easier, and a few of my non-audiophile friends I’ve given cables to, hear it, and they can even identify what they hear cogently. But then, my friends we... | |
| Why were the Shunyata Venom NR V10 / V12 Power Cables Discontinued? Yes, the Theta replaces the Delta NR V2. And, frankly, it's quite a bit better, especially in the upper midrange and highs. | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC Yes, I was speaking of the sigma NR V2 power cord. | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC My conclusions mirror audphile 1’s. And especially about the entire Alpha line. I had - all the way back to the Zi-Tron line, found the Alpha cables to be....bland. (This is going back to 2011). I find the ZiTron Alpha HC, as well as the Sigma lin... | |
| Why were the Shunyata Venom NR V10 / V12 Power Cables Discontinued? I believe the NR V10 are still part of Shunyata's offerings. I know they discontinued the V12 and the Delta NR V2. |
