| Short Power Cable (ie, 3 to 6ft) Vtin, the sonic benefits of short speaker cable*-long I/C, versus short I/C-longer speaker cable, have been difficult to gauge in my experience. I have tried both -- the latter lately; my personal experience favours keeping the IC short (around 1m... | |
| loose tubes LOL, Detlof; I never noticed a difference either -- but I kept it up, religiously!!! Am I neurotic? | |
| Why do cables need break-in? Detlof, LOL! How about TRAINING thus challenged electrons to enhance their skills. Huge market: "Goodbuy expensive cabling, hello expensive (electrons) training!"Sorry, Pendragn, I'm off subject.Cheers! | |
| The worst sound system Detlof, "restaurant-bar"; getting drunk is indeed hard work -- but thoroughly rewarding, don't you find? | |
| loose tubes In another vein, slightly lifting tubes changes the point of contact on the pins -- so, maybe better contact? You'll notice that the pins have small indentations at the point of contact with the base -- I used to sand the pins with very fine paper... | |
| 2 Questions on General Music Preferences Kitch's last sentence rules! Otherwise, I would go for the walkman in the first case & silence in the second -- although, as D-K notes, respect for others' musical choices is important.Cheers! | |
| Speakers for Pathos Classic One? Hi G13 -- in case you missed it, look up my post to yr previous thread on this amp. To follow up on yr next thread, the speaker cables used were Nordost Valhalla (overkill, I agree).Cheers! | |
| Anyone Familar With ESS Speakers? Tried out a swiss 90's version of these. The AMT tweeter and the woofer just didn't like each other and the Lord knows I tried my best: tubes, ss, stereo amps, monos... and even when the sound spectrum was somewhat balanced, the woofer didn't keep... | |
| The worst sound system Rhl, I felt the agony just reading yr post! About the sound & putting up with it: 1) the sound is so bad, dj's crank it up in order to hear what's going on (despite the use of 'phones) 2) I was astounded to hear recently that bad sound induces... | |
| TT opinions please For detailed tight sound, you could also consider the small Clearaudio decks, and Morch arms. A Pro-ject P with a Benz Glider I heard offered great tunes. A latest version Linn/Ittok (or better) no longer requires the nerve-raking tweaking Jfrech ... | |
| Bi-amping Tablettes with a Classik? You'd be eliminating one link (the shorters) which is good thing. As to equal driving, no problem, it's the same amp output with two sets of posts connected to it. You'll need to start with identical cables (length, model), though. On the speaker ... | |
| Designs on the Genesis 1.1 Reference? Anyone pondered on how to drive these speakers? OK, the subs are taken care of, but what is commensurate to the rest??Cheers! | |
| Pathos Classic one, anybody Heard it?? I have (heard the classic 1, that is). With A-Physic Tempos (a) / horn-loaded something or other (b)/A-Physic Step (c) -- not yr B&Ws. It's a tad more "tubey" sounding than the Twin T, does not have the twin's driving power so, sensitive speak... | |
| High end dealers in Frankfurt Budapest *used* to be good for LP also -- primarily (then) "Eastern bloc" labels. Athens also has reasonable cd prices and titles availability for classical. Classical, 70s and jazz LPs are, also, still reasonable -- but as many French and German ... | |
| High end dealers in Frankfurt Kelly, was that CD or LP prices -- I remember London being reasonable for CDs (by European -- expensive -- standards, that is). BTW, Paris is even worse on CD prices -- but not bad on LPs, though.Greg |
