| Freezer Cryoed Cables... I used Zip-lock freezer bags, but I don't think it really matters. I tried the freezing on my cheapo $80 Discovery cables first. | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... I tried and it works. It seemed to work better on stranded cables more than my Nordost solid core. Less grain, blacker background. | |
| NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700?? It would perhaps be unfair to critique all older Krell amplifiers as being of one sound. I remember the KSA-250/150 sounding very different from the earlier KSA-200/80 models. The older KSA-200/80 sounded impressive, bold, and high impact, while t... | |
| Integrated Amps: Classe vs. Audio Refinement? Thanks, everyone, for the recommendations. But now that I decided to get the Classe, none are available for sale! Ahh, such is audio... | |
| Power Cord Review This is a great idea for a review, but it sounds like a monumental undertaking. Perhaps this topic would be best split into several categories: 1)Is there a difference, and how large a difference relative to other tweaks (vs. other cable changes, ... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Don't get ripped off? If GTT wanted to "get rich quick" by designing high end power cords then selling them for $40, they'd have to be the stupidest con-artists in the world. How much can you make selling PCs at $40 each? If he charged $300, or be... | |
| Matching preamp for ARC VT-100 MK I I would probably choose an ARC LS-15 first. The two are the same vintage and were designed to work together. The VT-100 mk1 is leaner, more lightweight than the mk2 version and the LS-15 compensates for that by being softer and richer. At a lower ... | |
| ARC 100 Mk11or Conrad Johnson 11a? How much power do you need? The ARC has more dynamics, more spacious soundstage, better bass, but its upper mid/lower treble bites a bit. The C-J is more seamless, finer textured, more midrange body, but sounds smaller/less powerful; should also b... | |
| Excess Power Cord Length Jim-do a "search" in the Audiophile Forum opening page. There's a forum from last year covering this topic in depth. | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear Stevemj-You pose an interesting point of view; I haven't heard anyone explain why they feel a power cord changes the sound of a component. Could you tell us what components you are using in your system? And which power cords you have tried? Maybe ... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Amcore-Thanks for the great set-up tips. I've been trying to set-up the Genesis VIs and can't get the center image to focus as preciely as I'd like (I have them pointed nearly straight ahead). I'll try your suggestions. Thanks! | |
| Apogee s versus a haircut I've heard this model of Apogee sound absolutely, incredibly great. Set-up is important with most speakers; with Apogee it's critical.The speakers do need to be pulled out at least 3 feet from the reflecting wall. The wall should be free from damp... | |
| Anyone tried Delta Labs power cords? Oops. Above should read "...(according to the list price on auction page) for $499." | |
| Anyone tried Delta Labs power cords? I purchased a Delta Labs Power Pro from Quest for Sound through an Audiogon auction. The cable retails(according to Quest's dealer webpage) for $499. It is just a 10/3 rubber insulated cable with(I think) Marinco connectors. They didn't even bothe... | |
| Drivers for older ProAc s US distributor for ProAc is Modern Audio Comsultants ph 410-486-5975, ask for Richard. US prices are quite fair, esp compared to many other imports(B&W, etc). |
