Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass @xcool Seems to me that, because sub(s) complete the holistic frame of the original recording space, that which is not technically affected by frequency augmentation (say, 300 HZ signals when sub's top end is 120Hz) is instead placed in its prope... | |
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass The title of this thread encapsulates my own experience. Several years' experience showed that my "subwoofer optional" Legacy Signature SEs simply couldn't play the Octave 0 notes present on some recordings. The gorgeous, enormous, discontinued Ta... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords Epilogue #1: Thanks to contributions on this forum, I am already auditioning Zavfino 10awg on my power amp and Ice Age 10awg on subwoofer in a temporary placemement. Zavfino was instantly brighter than the 7awg Pangea I had been using, and more o... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords @ozzy thanks for the warning about plastic parts. Many of the cables recommended here do use plastic at the terminals -- one reason why they fall in the "budget" category, no doubt. I will certainly explore durability record before buying anything... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords Surprised to learn there is a Shunyata (barely) within my range. If the sound is as impressive as the words I've just read about it, a definite contender. | |
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? Sadly, the statute of limitations would now bar your claim against ex-friend, while his right of action against you for conversion would only accrue when you sell the records. However, you can argue -- depending on your state's law of abandoned pr... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords @cooperjack, LOL, Anticables sounded like a joke, but I see they are real and you're not kidding. Actually they look much like other brands recommended in this thread, and in the same price range, so thanks for that ;-)@larry5729 +1. I'm an admitt... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords @prebs, as it happens I have an unopened Pangea AC9SEII ("100% Cardas copper") leaning against the wall, awaiting the time when my conditioner arrives and the sub can move to its intended placement. Power amp has been running on an earlier edition... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords @verdantaudio I'm pleased to see that the Puritan Ultimates are no costlier than the AQ "storm" series, and the Clarus are within my budget relative to price of my amps. And so the list grows longer still. | |
Budget High Current Power Cords @ghdprentice Thanks, very helpful. Others here also seem sold on the "same company for all wires in the system" approach, so must be something to it. Would take me a while to get there, however, with several different PC/IC brands in the current s... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords @lowrider57 , @bigby Much appreciate the additional detail. This info on Pangea, coupled with discussions of others above, tells me there's no perfect, one-size-fits-all PC that will sound best with each of 100 different amps with 100 different d... | |
Budget High Current Power Cords @bigby an earlier post says the 7 awg Pangea sound like throwing a blanket over your system. Yes, they are visually impressive, but have you compared their SOUND against other upgrade power cords, or only against the stock cords included with your... | |
Have you seen the website: themusicroom.shop Got the TMR warning, sounds like it's now moot. | |
Budget High Current Power Cords Such a trove of valuable leads, thanks to all. Can't guess how any particular cords will sound in my own (ever-evolving) system, but I feel sure the worthiest contenders have all been named, many of them dittoed. So I'm starting with Zavfino (thx ... | |
Zavfino Based on recs from latik, williewonka & others, also nice website and irresistible pricing, I have just ordered Zavfinos for new power conditioner and sub amp. Never heard of the company before today. With luck I will soon have heard FROM them... |
