| Best Sounding Speaker Cables? All the sensible cautions and qualifications about personal preference and system fit being duly noted and appreciated, I have found ribbon cables to be a game changer--easily the equivalent of upgrading my speakers, and I already had very decent ... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? +1 for Peter at the CableCompany | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? +1 mglik: the Fideliums were probably the best single upgrade I made, and comparable to the improvement in jumping to a LTA zotl amp. | |
| Clean AC power OP conditioners are different from regenerator, and the PPT products Frank mentioned at the top are neither. Using a conditioner or regenerator is compatible with PPT (I use a PS Audio P3 and a PPT gate-“filter”). | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Missed this thread earlier, but I, too, have learned a lot in a relatively short space of time from MC's years of experimentation. Almost everything he recommended worked in my system, and much of it had stunning effects. I pay attention to when h... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I run one pair crossed over at 150hz (in front) and one crossed over at 80hz, so I do run stereo, but I doubt it changes a huge amount in the end. I've played with the phase but don't notice any effect. Like @heelid I placed my Swarm at different ... | |

| Your NOS tube favorites. 1961 Amperex 6085s (E80cc) | |
| Tube rolling LTA MZ3 Ps. 4 6085s for both the AT and AU tubes. It’s important that all 4 tubes in the z10 use the same current | |
| Tube rolling LTA MZ3 +1 on the 6085s. In the line stage of the z10 mk II they sound amazing! | |
| LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance? Using a z10 mk II without a preamp. I’m coming from st-70 classic tube experience so yes at first I found the LTA sound a bit “cool “ though the details and soundstage hooked me. As I’ve worked on room acoustical treatments the so-called coolness ... | |
| Single vs. Dual Subs My listening room doubles as living room so sub placement was dictated by furniture. Even so the Audiokinesis Swarm sounded fantastic out of the box. I am sure I could fine tune it if I had a dedicated room but this is already wonderful with minim... | |
| Tube vendors. Andy is one guy so he can get backed up. But he delivers the goods. Brent Jesse is great too and fast in my experience. But I care about the tube not about the wait. | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables I noted some apparent attenuation in lower frequencies at first too, Ozzy, but for me this in fact proved to be simply cleaner sound and better balance. I turned up the volume slightly and got back the heft I wanted with all the micro details. Bes... |
