| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @audphile1 All jokes aside, going from one sub-$200 cable to another will get you very little ROI if any at all. Thanks. That's what I figured, and why I felt that the nice advice I got from Audience directly was really just a way to get me i... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @audphile1 You skip over the $180 cable and go for the $1500 cable. I want to party with you -- no stops on this train. This is the Express! ;-) | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @thyname Yes, I did. I’m sure he’s considering that I want to begin in a way that does not break the bank and I appreciate him being sensitive to the "sticker shock" some may experience with this aspect of a system. That said, I... | |
| PART 2. Good Suggestions for Tube Pre/Amp for $6000 Possibly of interest: Preamps: https://aricaudio.com/tube_gear.php Amp: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/147639-anybody-use-first-watt-amps-with-klipschorns-or-lascalas/ | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? John from Audience is recommending the F3 power cord to start with. It's about the same price as the Pangea. Perhaps it's too much of a lateral move. Hmmm. Into the brambles I go! | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @thyname It's a relatively inexpensive wireMOLD strip, not wireworld. Almarg was an electrical engineer and a Ph.D. and thought this was enough for his system -- given his components, power in his area, etc. Still, worth trying. Continued than... | |
| PART 2. Good Suggestions for Tube Pre/Amp for $6000 Can you say more about what you mean by "a warmer more lively sound"? | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? Great advice, here. Summing up: I will ask Audience their opinions about cords. I will not try a slightly better cord. I will step up significantly to try something much better. I will try both via the conditioner and straight to the wall. I w... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? Thanks for some of the replies. I'm curious about trying the direct into the wall VS. via conditioner in addition to trying some power cords, in a careful, sequential fashion as described. I appreciate the factor Erik mentioned about interferenc... | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @erik_squires Thanks -- that makes a lot of sense. Saving money by attacking the problem with the greatest impact (if it works) breaks the stranglehold of marketing pseudo-scientific doublespeak. | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @lalitk Thanks for your comment. I am not averse to trying better cords, and if I can hear it with the Audience, then it may be even more apparent when I'm in my new space. That space has 5 dedicated lines and a dedicated sub-panel. | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? It is inspiring to see an individual hold their own in a crowded and complex field simply by designing and building products of great value, by hand, one at a time. Yes. It's very inspiring. Bravo to those creative entrepreneurs. | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) @emergingsoul I've not heard or read a legit review yet either. YT can be such an overheated circle-jerk on so many things, audio included. How else could Steve Huff make so much money about talking to the dead? Insert P.T. Barnum quote, here. | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? Thanks for the comments so far. @noromance Your proposal is sound, as long as there is a reason to try a cord without a conditioner. Right now, the Audience unit is also protecting the gear, and given that our power went on and off 5x the other n... | |
| Fritz Speakers I have listened extensively to both the Carrera and the Carbon 7 mk II and they're both lovely speakers. I cannot recall about the "low listening" element. However, your question raises another one for me, namely, "Don't speakers perform differe... |
