| Short speaker cable recommendation Mitch2, I am replacing and have replaced the Jupiter wire you mention as this stuff is much better sounding. Hard to believe...I know. I would not try to do anything special in terms of doubling up the gauge etc... Until you simply try one run for... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Mikirob, which model of the Arizona caps and where can one buy them? I have never seen then at the usual parts stores like Parts Connextion etc.. | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation I have never found stranded copper to sound as good as solid core...never. That is until this stuff came along. Important to always be open minded in this hobby. This wire bests the finest silver cables I have owned also. I don't understand why, b... | |
| Short speaker cable recommendation Do yourself a big favor and purchase 8 feet of this Western Electric NOS wire from the 70s. It will cost you some $15 and be as good or better than cables costing you hundreds or thousands new or used. Just strip the ends and connect the bare wire... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price They have changed already and are a tad sharper sounding......not quite as smooth, but more detail and better imaging. Hope I get back that smoothness however. I will update as they burn in running 24/7. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I needed a longer set of speaker cables and received 28 feet of the WE16 GA today. I made a set of cables with bare wire connections on both ends. I have had them playing for 4 hours now. They replaced very highly regarded $1500 cables. Thus far I... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Garaneau, I just ordered a set and yes Best Tronics wires them exactly the same as Day/Yazaki. Shield soldered to ground on both ends. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I purchased from that eBay seller and we will see on the speaker cables. Are you guys terminating or just hooking it up bare wire? I am thinking of going bare wire since it is tinned. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Yes Rebbi they do look very nice indeed. I will split the cost of the AN speakers with you and you can use them for 6 months then my turn for 6 months! | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Whoops my big mistake. I meant Sonist, not Tonian. I always mix them up as they look very similar to me. At least my mind thinks so. I did not hear the Tonian speakers, but was unimpressed with Sonist at the show. Sorry fellow Agoners. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I listened to the Tonian speakers at Expona this year and was not impressed at all. Perhaps the room was bad, but the Audio Note room was pretty much the same room and those Audio Note speakers sounded fantastic. One of about 3 rooms I wanted to s... | |
| Computer grade parts? These are the very large, coke can size, electrolytic caps make by companies like Mallory and Sprague. They are often used by builders who believe they sound better than smaller electrolytic caps. They do a very nice job of filtering with the righ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Where do we buy the WE 16 ga wire? In what ways did the Belden and Sablon sound different. Which one was more natural and easy to listen to? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have not tried the SIO in paralell with Duelund. I typically like using just one Jupiter copper cap in the signal path. Another cap I like to "mix" in is the Jensen copper foil in paper tube cap. These are very warm and inviting and on their own... | |
