| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent nyev, that's good. Just make sure they are burnt-in, power cords can take 300-500 hours. Yeah, it becomes even more fun when you mix different brands. I got lucky with that. I mix Purist, Tchernov and WyWires interconnects, power cords are Purist ... | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? Got them today, unexpectedly earlier than I thought.They appear to be fully burnt in but I'll see. This is preliminary because I only listened with Grado RS1 Classic headphones and Burson Soloist headamp. I also made recording directly off the pho... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent It's been obvious from the beginning that the first power cord to try for Gryphon Diablo is Gryphon Reference power cord. I would guess that Stage III would work very well too, maybe even better than Gryphon.Speaker cables you match much more with... | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? The weak point of Redgum is the power supply - the amp plays great when the wall current is good and it sounds like crap when it isn't. I have the original RGi120 made in 2001, considered by some best sounding. Perhaps it was designed for differen... | |
| Dolby Deterioration I agree, though there are some exceptions. Who needs transistors, anyway, if you have good tubes and know how to make them work ?I am not familiar with Dolby SR. | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... If you only do streaming you are not audiophile in any sense of it. You can imagine about yourself anything you like - this won't change the reality of things. As one aspect - cds when done right still sound better than streaming. This comes from ... | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? I actually got acquainted with WyWires almost by an accident. I was not going to do any upgrades in the near future, I just wanted to add heaphone amp to my system for night time listening. So I looked and read around a little and Burson Audio ori... | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? Sure will. I will have them next week.What am I going to do with the Silver ? I don't want to sell it but I don't have more equipment to put it on ! Except cd player in the closet that I use twice a year or so. Hmm..I'll figure it out. | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? You convinced me to give it a try. I have no doubts it will be better than Silver, just don't know to what extent. Found one for an acceptable price. Could get new Purist Aqueous Luminist for about the same but I am quite sure that WyWires Platinu... | |
| Integrated with passive preamp section. Good or bad idea, or both ? I recently put Burson Soloist preamp/headphone amp between the source and Redgum RGi120 integrated with passive preamp section, and everything is better with perhaps the slightest loss of resolution. And the Redgum doesn't even have power amp in i... | |
| High definition vs. tonal balance I would not listen to speakers that couldn't approximate enough in their tone and timbre presentation. You add resolution with source, electronics and cables, and of course with power management. So, for me tone first. Along with dynamics. | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? Yeah, the Silver line appears to be very successful and is still moderately priced. Platinum is $1800 retail for 1 Meter pair, it might be adequate or not, I don't know. The Silver, judging by RCA interconnects and USB cable, certainly is. It is o... | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? I did ask Alex, he said that the difference would be considerable. He also did offer me a demo for a good price, but that price was still too high for me and I was not sure, anyway. No, he was very reserved, just offered to upgrade - he would take... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent It also proves how much performance one can get out of reasonably good speakers with great electronics and cabling. Even with the same source.I hid my credit card and forgot where it is because there is still previous generation Gryphon Diablo 250... | |
| looking for ideas on must have classical music No. I think, the OP wants to hear the voice. Start with most famous operas or/and most famous performers. Nothing beats the power of the voice, not even full orchestra. |
