| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @clearthink. So what point are you trying to get at? Your post makes your name a total misnomar. | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @geoffkait. Are all your 5,535 posts that strange? | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... Who's the "you" geoffkait? | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... @williewonka. Yes I've used good quality Power Cables on tube CD Players, tube Phono stages, tube & hybrid Pre-Amps. All benefit with increased sound quality with good quality upmarket Power Cables compared to using stock (throwaway) cables. | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... I think what Randy and I and other realists are saying is that once some very basic and inexpensive length/guage requirements are met, nothing is to be gained by spending sometimes insane amounts on aftermarket cabling...wasting money on them ... | |
| Lesson in Tube Rolling:: My confirmed need for "air on top" via 12au7 ECC82 5814a tubes Thanks jb. Always interesting to know what equipment people are using, as different tubes wiil give different results in certain equipment.As for Vincent products I have half a dozen. All are good to great bang for buck. Their top line SA-T8 Pre. ... | |
| Lesson in Tube Rolling:: My confirmed need for "air on top" via 12au7 ECC82 5814a tubes Hi jb,Can I ask what Pre-Amp/Power Amp you are using? I just had an interesting experience tube rolling. Rolled in 3 Psvane 12AX7-11 into my Vincent SA-T8. Wow! What an improvement. Sounded great with both my Vincent s/s SP-998 Mono Blocks & u... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Ok bondmanp. Just have to allow a bit of time for shipping to Australia and cable run in time, but will definitely give impression of cable.Cheers. | |
| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile nightfall,Perhaps if you list what the tube Pre. will be paired with would help. I'm going to suggest save some money and get a Vincent SA-T8, fully balanced Pre-Amp. The most musically involving Pre-Amp I've heard at anywhere near or double it's ... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Thanks for the responses. I ended up upgrading to the Morrow SP7's as like what the SP4's do on the low frequencies. Would be expecting the SP7's to add quite a bit more of what I like. With the 60% off Morrow trade up and easy pay 5 monthly insta... | |
| XLR interconnects Agree stringreen. XLR's can sound good on a reasonable budget, whereas you have to up the budget substantially more to get to a similiar performance from RCA's. | |
| XLR interconnects 2017 audioman,If you have fully differential balanced components then use XLR cables. Significant improvement IME. | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? Forget the recommendation for Doge8. I have one with upgraded tubes etc. While it is a bargain for an ok line stage and so-so phono stage, for not much more, you can get a Vincent SA-T8. A massive step-up over the Doge8. Most "musically involving"... | |
| interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference? Yep, Good quality Power Cables through some sort of Power conditioning 1st, then good quality interconnects 2nd. I just havn't been able to get big improvements with Speaker Cables so far, so a distant 3rd for me at this stage. | |
| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers Hmm, very limited budget there Randy. You seem to be tossing up between S/S & tube, so perhaps a hybrid?Vincent SP-331MK get's outstanding reports. I sort of regret not picking up a B-Stock near 1/2 retail, although did wait and picked up the ... |
