| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys Mr. Ludwig's recordings are great because he is simply one of the best at what he does and his excellence is reflected in the body of his work. The few others mentioned in this thread all share that same excellence, regardless of where they do the... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys It is never by accident that somebody mentions a product by name...... More often than not the marketing people use the information to their best advantage. You may never see what they do but within the industry that information is used to promote... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys Ludwig chose Transparent because he was paid to endorse it. And being the wizard he is, Ludwig can polish a recording to sound the way he envisions or "hears" it to be when he undertakes the project. There is no magic in wire but there is magic in... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys No_money - you're missing the boat. Digital bits and bytes are just that. Digital. Which means that it doesn't matter what cable, interconnect, patch cord was used in the process. I can take those bits and bytes and run them through some pretty so... | |
| I'm thinking of a Bottlehead 2A3 kit. Bottlehead has a very active owner's forum. Link is on their website. From what I've heard (with some personal experience), their customer service is excellent and they will bend over backwards to help you out. | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys You can bet your bottom dollar that there was a special deal cut between ANY cable manufacturer and recording studio, etc. if that recording studio's name or personnel names appears in an advertisement, press release, or marketing release. Quid Pr... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys I've made Homegrown Audio solid silver cables from their $39.00 kit. Used high content silver solder and, except for some slight lack of bass in a direct comparison to AQ Quartz, they were just as good if not better through the rest of the range. ... | |
| What CD has the best production/sound? You might want to try "Songs of a Circling Spirit" by Tom Cochrane. He was the lead singer from Red Rider, the group that did the Neruda LP back in the 80's. He does some of Neruda and some newer stuff on this CD. He and three or four other musici... | |
| Harmonic Recovery "Boxes" I have tried the Harmonic Recovery Systems box in both tube and transistor setups. When I read the overwhelmingly positive review in Stereophile of this black box a few years back, I was intrigued, but the author couldn't explain the "how or why" ... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! I bought three of these (silver) kits and assembled them, using lead free high silver content solder. They come with braided wire now which is convenient since the braiding process was the only thing part of the process where I could have used thr... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Carl you are a horse's behind, a point that you continue to prove. Oh, and BTW - come back when you get a real system. Maggies compared to Soundlab Ultimate 1's. Hardly. What a joke. You are boring. I'm out of here. Nothing to learn from you, that... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Carl - look for the thread about vinyl and live music. A lot of recording-types and musicians in on that one. There is a great explanation by a recording engineer or two about high reequency roll off in the vinyl recording process. Maybe something... | |

| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Well said, Albert. | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Carl, first of all if you're right about something you're right. Just because you were wrong on an issue (that Resolution Audio gentleman's explanation seems to bear that out) doesn't mean that you were wrong on everything. Secondly I was remiss i... |
