| Cary SLI-80 tweaks and improvements? Coincidentally I just got an email from Cary Direct about the SLI80, and in a review a customer is raving about the soundstage and the Hexfreds: "I am currently a couple of weeks in with this great amplifier in my system. I am using it in mainly ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? It could be that the $500 cable you mention may not be the best premium PC in its price class for YOUR system @waytoomuchstuff , OP has stated that he upgraded FROM a $500 power cord to a power cord that cost "several thousand." | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? immatthewj I’m incapable of believing the high dollar amount is necessary. I assume they could get 90% of the high dollar benefit for 10% of the cost. @jon_5912 , well, that is your prerogative. I don’t personally have enough experience with t... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? Can I tell you what it did exactly? I don’t know really. But I liked it. I know lame. Actually I can relate to feeling that way about an upgrade. The fact that you are not hearing that with the 'several k' power cord kind of makes me think you... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @roxy1927 , thanks for clarifying; I thought I knew what you meant but I wasn't positive. When you got the Pass did it have the OEM cord, or did you have the $500 cord already installed when you got it? If it came with the OEM cord I am really ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? 2. If you deem a $500 power cord expensive, it's pretty safe to say your system is fairly entry level. @roxy1927 , did you upgrade FROM a $500 cord, or did you upgrade TO a $500 cord? | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @immatthewj , Wrong roxie... OOPS!! Thanks, @thecarpathian . I'll fix it. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? @immatthewj To me that bumps up against the problem of why does different have to cost so much. I understand people like to switch tubes and compare. When it turns into you need to try this simple mechanical device that just happens to cost $4,... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? If power cords really made a big difference wouldn't component manufacturers be putting better stock cords on? Are there any component manufacturers that put anything other than standard plastic covered cords in the box? @jon5f52 , this mig... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? "I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord" "Did I throw away several thousand dollars?" How does one throw away several thousands on a $500 cord? @tony1954 , I was wondering the same thing, but I am thinking that maybe OP had ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? After a couple of weeks of daily use I hear no change in the sound quality from a $500 cord. I don’t want to name it for fear of getting my thread deleted. You would know it or at least be aware of the company. Did I throw away several thousand ... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell ya. Looks like you got the ’snake oil answer’ whether you wanted it or not. Going back to your first power cable upgrade on that amp (which I assume was the $500 cable you referenced), did you discern a difference?... | |
| little big win You didn't hook her up with any acoustic panels? | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? These extreme opposing viewpoints over such a short period of time are concerning and almost schizophrenic like. +1! | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? He once attacked viciously my uncle sleeping and trying to approach him... I was sad for the bloody hands of my uncle but proud of my savage cat...😊 I am happy to read that you did not do a Kristi Noem job on your cat. |
