| Review Shunyata Venom V16 Power Distributor @tattooedtrackman As with many other aduiophile companies, they essentially take their best technology and begin stripping it down to make lower models. The Denali uses their best electric outlet sockets. There are 6 separated zones, instead of... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... @thyname Yeah, I thought I recognized his, "I will PM my response because I will not contribute" line. Not too many people would say that. Funny how his desire to not contribute is shown in the number of times he contributes. 🤣 And I am someh... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @ghdprentice "The very best I have heard and worst have been silver." I concur. Synergistic Research Foundation cables were my first foray into all silver cables and they were better than Audioquest's best copper...but Lavricables simply beat t... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @charles1dad Awesome! :D I cannot wait to get mine, although I had to settle for the Master line as they couldn't build me a Grand line with a C7 connection. | |
| Technical Question About Powered Speakers @noromance That's true for D Class amps or differential amps. This is single-ended and linear. | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @sns I don’t have a pure Silver PC, but the Shunyata Research Alpha cable I am using has a silver core conductor. The geometry is interesting. There is a shielded, insulated 8awg silver conductor in the center. Then it is surrounded by an intric... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @wesheadley I admit that the room I have this system in is not very good. I have made some room tweaks, like sound absorbing panels on the walls, the Synergistic Research FEQX4, Synergistic Research Tranquility Basik, DIY cable risers and ISOAco... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @wesheadley What sounds best is always going to be subjective to the listener. What sounds best to me, on this system, is Silver. What I have discovered, after over 30 years of dealing with cables, is that speed and accuracy of the signal is w... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @wesheadley Understand that the way "premium" cables are designed, is that the top-most, flag-ship, cable is the literal best materials and geometry that the company can offer. Every model below that is a broken version of the model above it. I... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @wesheadley We get it, you aren't a believer in better cables equals better sound. Duly noted. Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean you're the authority on whether it exists or not. Sure, it could have been a defective cable...or....... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @wesheadley "Does a $5,000 cable sound better than a $500 cable? Nope." Yup. In this particular case, it's absolutely true. The specs are ever better. Also, I have proof. The $1000 cable was unable to reproduce a specific note that this cable ... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @sns No one directly accused you of shaming and belittlement. I made a statement that having a discussion about cables is perfectly fine but belittlement and shaming isn't. It wasn't aimed at you, or I would have said so. However, there have b... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @sns I disagree. Discussions on cables are very informative and have on many occasions helped me decide what cables are best or what cables exist for my particular application. I have built several cables in my system but the DIY knowledge that... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @russbutton In regards to carnival show attractions, yes. There were no such things as audio cables in his day. So, whatever you are implying, makes you equally wrong. | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @erik_squires No one is ever going to agree with what I am doing on this system, because there appears to be a propogandic rule that one cannot purchase cables worth more than the system they are attached to. As if speakers and systems have som... |
