| Oh My what to do? What Mofi is saying is true, there should be some way of having them repaired or replaced under warranty here in the states easily enough. Didn't sink in to me in my post above that they were still under warranty...! Need more coffee...Hmmm...on s... | |
| How to Connect Cobalt Cables Speaker Cables? Al, it had indeed slipped my mind about powered speakers. Had no knowledge whatsoever about the use of RCA-type speaker cables from back in the day :) And a good suggestion to make sure they're not bananas, which is indeed what Cobalt offers.John | |
| Oh My what to do? Hi Oak, IME the Swans are well regarded. If it were me, and I knew I would miss the Swans, then I would seriously look for another Swan dealer that you can do business with, online or elsewhere. From what's apparent to me on HiVi's website, it's n... | |
| How to Connect Cobalt Cables Speaker Cables? Evidently there has been some mixup, maybe?? Either someone sent you a pair of Cobalt's interconnects by mistake, or possibly you ordered the interconnects instead of the speaker cables? Their nomenclature IS possibly a bit misleading, I know. But... | |
| Good Optical Coaxial cable under $200 ???? I used for years and liked very much the Mapleshade Clearview cables (non-Plus version) - great sound and great value. | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? 14k will suffice beautifully. | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? Ja, that's a good question, although there is copper- and silver-leaf foil as well. But, I don't know because I don't have any hard info on how gold wire is made - if it is usually cast like OCC or drawn like regular wire. Then again, I've never h... | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? I believe Jadem6 is guiding you straight. The results you will likely obtain in this case should be stellar. Nice bass articulation, some welcomed warmth and smoothness in the mids and highs with good extension at either end. A couple things I wou... | |
| No new innovations in "Audio" at upcoming CES2014? Concur with Tom, for the foreseeable future Blu-Ray Audio and Wireless systems look to be the shape of things to come. I think Blu-Ray may render DSD effectively dead. The international community has been working for some time now in an attempt to... | |
| Does anyone know price & year JVC SEA -M770 and M9 I'd say that at least within the confines of purely frequency domain problems with the electronics (from the listening position), EQ is still entirely valid and can be very effective (if designed and executed correctly enough). And it's still at l... | |
| 5 CD Changer as transport only? I used an Onkyo DC-X390 as a transport for a few years (6-disc carousel), very reliable, good sound and usability. Coax out and direct digital path. Also used a Monarchy DIP Combo with it which smoothed out the highs and firmed up the bass. | |
| Jimi Hendrix on PBS "American Masters" That was really good, thanks. | |
| Looking to add warmth FWIW, I would start by holding onto your 8008 and your W4S Dac 2. Seen lots of descriptions of these pieces and "dry and uninvolving" have never cropped up. Or at least the amp wouldn't unless it happens to be some sort of mismatch for your Philha... | |
| What is This Noise? I recall encountering this same effect many years ago. It did sound a lot like static. The weird part was that it only seemed to happen on a very few particular spots on an equally few CD's, yet there would always be no visible defect on them what... | |
