| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Why not open each component and desolder the ground wire from the IEC connector? | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Clio09 - As recommended by the manufacturer, I hope you burn the cables in for 150 hours before sharing any final thoughts on the GG's. And I assume the 150 hours implies a signal going through the cables and not simply connected to two components... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables I too have heard the claim that speaker cables should be 8-feet lengths but this never made much sense.....no more than digital cables need to be 1.5m instead of 1m. Afterall, how long is a speaker cable in an active speaker or a digital cable bet... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Hi Osgorth, I have gotten a lot of email inquiries about many things lately. For now I prefer to hold off and not disclose the cable to soon be auditioned. If I get it soon, and run it 4-5 days straight, by next weekend I can do an evaluation to t... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Osgorth - Unfortunately my system was down for 3 weeks as I had many cables out on loan to two different parties. Some of these got sold; the rest returned late last week. Only this last week have I been able to replace some to have music again. T... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Jmcgrogan2 - I have not heard the GG cables, and hope to one of these days, but I have much experience with the Jade Hybrid, Stealth Indra and Dominus ICs. You are spot on about the Jade Hybrid doing depth like no IC before. It is not that the oth... | |
| Aria phono preamp - Mike Elliot blog I have followed the Aria WV thread and have been quite impressed with the level of detail he has shared on his findings. And I was so impressed that I made a deposit for this unit in Dec 2004.With all due respect, it seems like the guy is winging,... | |
| Five "Golden Rules" of HiFi? 1: Focus as much time and effort to learn about new music as you do the music system. Afterall, it's all about the enjoyment of the music. Without this, what's the point to all the madness of assembling a system.2: Learn to enjoy what you have rat... | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Wow, great to hear you found a product that brought an improvement. Did you try just the front-end alone into the Haley? .... and did you try just the CAT amp into the Haley? I would be curious to know where much of the benefit came or if it was f... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Tbg - It was not my intent to imply a cable can be without tonality flaws. My comment was about avoiding the temptation to choose a cable to compensate for peaks and valleys elsewhere in the system. There are many threads here where somebody is se... | |
| Audio Research LS2B Mk 2 has a hissing noise Thorman - The LS2 only has one 6922 tube.It's easy to drop in another tube and see if the problem goes away. If not, expect $100-200 for service plus the round-trip shipping costs.And if all is ok after a few minutes, why not just leave it on all ... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables My comments from last night's listening were with the Gold RCA on the specified components. When I listened to the Gold a few months ago, it was an XLR used in the Io-Callisto link. Here it was miles ahead of the Vermeil which was way too sterile ... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables Mattheus - I spent many hours last night with the Jade Hybrid and this cable is absolutely stunning. With the Hybrid, a Jade Vermeil, a Jade Gold and also a Stealth Indra here, I tried these in the following links: Manley Ref DAC --> Aesthetix ... | |
| Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar?? I would like to thank everyone for their input and hope that fans of these cords are not upset by my post.Nice to hear that you put forth the effort to try out some of these cables. You liked the Stealth Dream and you say it is our new reference. ... | |
| Riggle VTAF - easy or not to install? I just went through this process for a Zeta arm which required a couple extra steps from the Origin/Rega setups. All the parts can be intimidating but much of this is to enlargen the armboard hole to accommodate the bushing. Once you do this, putt... |
