| Kimber from Monster First sound thin Now awesome I don't buy the storage energy thing either. What is stored should not be an issue. I think that the movement of cables deteriorates the sound and this is discussed by Cardas Audio and I have also heard this phenomenon. This may be some of the "mo... | |
| Do speaker cables really matter? Unfortunately cables do make a difference. With regard to Julian Hirsch, and all due respect, the demise of his mag was due to his lack of hearing, and or unwillingness to listen....good advice to ignore all the naysayers. Stranded sounds differen... | |

| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter You can find these on ebay called the ionovac by Dukane. Here in CA my city has probably more per capita then anywhere else in the USA.

| XLR to RCA any bad in long runs? The theory that a long cable needs to have XLR's is not true. When Sheffield lab recorded in Wiley Chapel, they used a RCA-RCA cable which was a coax cable for about 300ft. If you have any of the Harry James Recordings, you will have to listen rea... | |

| recommend excellent balance XLR cable for me plz? In my opion, balanced cables sound more alike than RCA cables. XLR are more uniform in sound. Balanced is better as a conncection, but I prefer the sound of RCA where noise is not an issue. | |
| Speaker cable length Long speaker cables are not as bad as you think. Just use a low capacitance design. Otherwise it will be like hanging a capacitor over the speaker leads. The type of cable is more important than the length. The Cardas Neutral Reference remains con... | |

| Amp for Maggies For SS amps, the ARC D300 was very good as is the D400. But the best sound requires lethal voltage....tubes, at least 100wpc. I like the Quicksilvers on my 3.6. The best by far. I have also tried Electrocompanient, Nu Force Class D...too bright an... | |
