| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all For my home theater, like Brownsfan, I need long, continuous runs and TeresaJacobs on Ebay has sold out all the long runs. I would like to hear comments regarding the manufacturing year of the WE cables. Some sellers, like “soundofthetheater” on ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price So no difference sonic wise re the vintage year? I noticed a range between 1940s (according to some, not verified) and 1999 in production years so the process for the core, the composition of and the process for the isolation could have changed. I... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Theresa (or rather Wallace) Jacobs has no offering on long WE16ga runs but user "soundofthetheater" has 50ft runs of Western Electric 14 ga KS13385 cloth wire. Can I assume that this type, made by American Insulated Wire (now Southwire?) is exact... | |
| Source for Belden 9497 speaker wire? Plenty on Ebay so not sure why it was hard to find. | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords Absolutely, for the power cords that I intend to keep for life, I have upgraded the plugs, mostly to Furutech FI-28, some to FI-50 (r). Apart from that , I have some DIY power cords based on Acrolink with great plugs. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... macdude, thanks for the comments on the AM Beewax. Love to hear anyone's experience on the A/B between the AM Beewax and the AH Platinum. As for shortening the fuse, this is an old trick, not tweak. I tried that on some of the devices before, the ... | |
| Are WA-Quantum Chips even sold anymore? Great experience on fuses and circuit breakers, then comes those for caps, little effect on speakers. Some, e.g. for mobile phone, didnt do anything. | |
| Why use ground wire from preamp to amp??? +1Star grounding devices like Troy Tripoint Signature (Norm you own or at least owned one) and in lesser extent Granite Audio Ground Zero do contribute with impedance ground matching. That brings us back to OP's question about ground loops. Or ... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords Two years ago, after installing dedicated lines, I embarked on a project to test the higher end of power related equipment: AC sockets, power conditioners, power cords, fuses.As for PC, I bought a bunch of $1-2k relatively new power cords which in... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Most amp manufacturers don't believe in after market fuse, and in lesser extend -power cords. I have had several well known brands (ARC, Krell, CJ to name a few) and they all HAVE to say that it does not matter from a corporate point of view. The ... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Anyone tried the WE 16ga solid core (as IC, SC or PC)? Thanks for the tip on SonarQuest, excellent value/money on the Rhodium plated plugs. SQ have been around for a while, . I believe some smaller shops use their products. | |
| Audio grade USB cables Or just add an UptoneAudio Regen and benefit from both the +5V separation and regeneration of data for a bit more money than the Disruptor but definitely worth the little extra. Add an affordable hand made Supra USB cable and you're good to go f... | |
| Help needed for isolation under the power amps /cerrot: I wouldn’t gamble on the divorce as mostly one ends up with a trauma dealing with the lawyers and a residue of one's fortune, financial and emotion wise, that is in a worse case of matrimony. I count my blessings, my better half is indeed... | |
| Why use ground wire from preamp to amp??? Norm, what about the Audience adeptResponse power conditioners with ground bars doing a similar job that the Tripoint Troy Signature do?Cheater plugs have the inherent danger if something in the unlikely event mishaps in the device to the metal ho... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have now about 30h with the AH Platinum (just in one device to hear the difference), no downsides compared to SR Red, more delicate, more "au naturel". Joseph uses a different coating (silver on?) on the fuse than other good fuses. /wolf>>... |
