| Speaker cable manufacturers Caps have the highest impact and one should buy the best ones can afford (Mundorf Silver/Gold/Oil is also an alternative, Duelund being the best and most expensive), then binding posts, then resistors if one wants to go all the way. I haven't repl... | |
| REL Magic For smaller units one could consider putting an ASC Subtrap (or similar devices) under it which can tighten the mid-bass. It works very well for my R205 | |
| HiDiamond Speaker Cables Lak. Happy to hear about your full loom experience.I am very curious to hear the comparisons between HD top RCA interconnects with HFC CT1E. | |
| Speaker cable manufacturers I second Purist Audio, maybe you are lucky to pick up an used pair of Venustas slightly above your budget. HiDiamond is well rounded and their D7 falls into your budget.Both are excellent, no fatigue at all. Re NordOst, I would try their current v... | |
| REL Magic Thanks, this convinces me to upgrade the signal cables for my RELs (R205 in the library, Stadium II for the main 2ch and StrataIII in the HT room). AMR gold fuses are a no brainer for its price, I prefer HiFi Supreme. As for power cords, I would l... | |
| HiDiamond Speaker Cables After reading comments here, responses from owners (thanks for all those who have replied to my pm) and having experienced great results with the P3 and P4 power cords. I ordered a pair of D8 from Robert at WorldWideSales and couldn't be happier. ... | |
| Audience Adept Mod Which model you have Walnut?Contrary to their upgrade pricing for cables, the Audience upgrade prices for power conditioners is not practical at all. At those prices one can simply buy an used one of the more recent models.I absolutely recommend t... | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others Thanks Al, for your always swift and to the point responses! As for contact cleaners, I use DeoxIt Gold for AC and Stabilant 22 for audio signal connections.Bought a set of Oyaide M1/F1 to see if they fit in my system | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others After having great experience with Furutech GTX-R, I have now replaced all wall outlets with them for all my systems and maybe replace those in the power conditioners as well (not that easy as I have Audience PC).I would appreciate more comparison... | |
| Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac? Hi Audiofun, would you care to share your insights on your DIY ICs? And to which known brands IC have you compared them? Anychance of making your own magnetic cables? I have the HFC CT1-E throughout my system and love to have a CT1-U comparable ca... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord Neil, didn't you post a new thread about the HiDiamond P4 vs Valhalla recently? Did you had the chance to compare it to the LL Ref in any system? I am using some P4s in my main system in a mix with Valhallas with very good result. The HD P4 is not... | |
| Best speaker cable for Krell/Dynaudio? I would vote for HiDiamond D8 that I currently test in my main system, almost everything one needs and are very musical.A big improvement (and I would start there first) would be to upgrade the Vishnu PC, even in the NordOst line they are underper... | |
| Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cable? I can't comment on the Conductor model but have experience with the AU24e and AU24SE SC: the SE version is more airy and provides better imaging, highs have more presence. IME there are no drawbacks of the SE vs E and both are steps better than th... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Appreciate feedback from someone who tried them in CJ gear (their techs stay on the official stance, not even supporting the KT120s). I am pretty happy with the KT120 in my LP140m, seeking more depth in imaging and a bit clearer highs. | |
| TELEFUNKEN E88CC-TK Thanks Terry for this tip and I will try to garner leads to authentic ones as Fleabay is, as expected, full of HP6922 fakes. In the mean while I bought matched new NOS Amperex 6DJ8 Large O Getter made in Holland as drivers for my CJ monoblocks whi... |
