| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? Best post ever by Eliz. Plus infinity to her thoughtful comment. So true it should sink deeply into each of our minds before posting some of the harsh words I so regularly read here. Best post award! | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 The sound quality after RC is applied is far better in my room. Not just the bass. Seems your over generalized comment is perhaps flawed. Many owners find the post RC sound quality to be superior top to bottom. Far fewer don’t. Have you owned a 2... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 First you need to use cabling noted for natural unforced sound. Cabling that has great midrange bloom and meat on the bones weight. Cabling that has natural tone and serves up details with smooth and warm personality. No silver. No silver over ... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! @dbassI made an RCA set that both I and the customer felt sounded terrific. | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? Best sound I have ever had is with my Lyngdorf 2170 one box wonder. I still build tube amps for fun, but the 2170 with room correction and built in dac simply sounds better. I mentioned some of the reasons above and they do in fact play a role. ... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? OP we could not possibly disagree more. Oh well, it is the nature of these threads. Noise, noise, noise and noise again. If you think short signal paths mean nothing, then I cannot help you. You asked why integrated gear is hot and you now need t... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? The future is in one box wonders with dac, room correction, DSP functions, streaming, pre and amp all in one box. Short signal paths and built in synergy are huge upsides. Advances in DSP, Class D and digital are bringing a whole new world of li... | |
| Is shielding necessary on interconnects & speaker cables Shielding is not needed most of the time as it can hurt the sound. Shielding can close in the sound and darken it. Now if you need a phono cable from your turntable then shield it! That is the only time I shield with RCA or single ended ICs. No ... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Goodness that opening is big enough to fit a 12 gauge twisted pair. I have done it .... with a shield! Most ICs are made with16gauge and thinner. That is my point. I even made a double run 16ga set using the Schroeder Method. Fits easily. Confused... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! I use the KLEI with 16 gauge twisted pair and a 1/4 inch copper braided shield. Plenty of room. Lots of cable builders, including myself, use these and have never had an issue with the quality of the conductor used on the plugs. I make many cabl... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Agreed on the Total Contact paste. Amazing stuff! Glad to see you are onto this wonderful tweak. | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! These are easy to solder and hold up just fine. Just need the right technique. The thin coating will mark superficially easily but is a complete non issue. These are excellent low mass bullet plugs that make great shielded and unshielded RCA cable... | |
| GO PATS! Ugh....the Pats again. Wish they would go away! | |
| i am starting to think Audiogon profits off the spam... Goodness this morning at 6am central time there must have been at least 50 spam threads! All time record. Out of control. | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints Be careful where you put the gizmos as they leave a black print of them on wood over time. I could not remove the staining off my furniture. Place some paper under them or blue painters tape etc.., May impact the gizmo’s ability? I don’t think s... |
