| Who uses power conditioning? I use Alan Maher Designs which in my system consists now of a multitude of various filters, AC duplex and power cords. Have spent many thousands on it since 2010 and to say it makes a "night-and-day" difference does not do it any justice. But plug... | |
| To twist or keep separate If you’re running each 4TC as a separate positive or negative run, then it would be good I think to twist them as the noise-canceling effect of the weave will have been bypassed within each leg at that point, unless you twist them. | |
| To twist or keep separate I would not think it important to keep them together. Theses Kimbers are a woven design that’s meant to minimize the electrical field. The effectiveness of the weave may not be exactly 100%, but may be slightly negative overall or slightly positiv... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? My apologies then, I shouldn't have said it to you the way I did. I hope you can forgive me. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? No No. I'm not copping an attitude. That's not my way of telling you to get lost. I'm just trying to give you my honest 2 cents on it is all. Sometimes the hardest system building problems turn out to be the best opportunities for achievement if w... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Sooo......you don't want to overspend on power treatments, a new serious amp OR less demanding speakers. All presumably (largely) because any of that costs too much.Then my friend I think you are in a real pickle...one that I don't know how you mi... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? @andy2 I agree. There's a difference between "neutrality" as an absolute theoretical and as a subjective impression. Either an amp in our system sounds like it's neutral to us or it doesn't.It should go without saying that there is no component th... | |
| Ugrade-itis - is there a cure? I'm essentially there now. I've never actually heard a better sounding system, at this point, than the one I have. That does not mean to me that there aren't better systems of course. I just haven't heard them yet. I fully intend to, even if that ... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? I think you may be up against the "designed-by-the-book" camp vs the "better-than-reality" camp. Most any hifi amp designers, using the "designed-by-the-book" model as a starting point, will try to push the performance envelope here or there, a li... | |
| Doncha get bummed? No...in fact I never get bummed about any of that.I did my homework and invested in things like "noise-floor reduction", "power treatments", "room treatments", etc. The percentage of "bad recordings" in my collection is about 1%. The rest are stel... | |

| Are We Someday Soon Saying Goodbye To Caps? Sorry trying to fix the link. | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." One way or another it all 'goes into the soup', it would appear. Thank you folks for the last 3 posts. | |
| Want my OPPO UDP-205 to sound as good as my Sony SCD-777ES I would take mine (if I were lucky enough to have one) straight to Ric Schultz at EVS (Electronic Visionary Systems, Calif.). He's been modding amps and digital for more than 30 yrs now I believe and I've been dealing with him for many years. He's... |
