| Another Cable Burn-in Question This will be my final post on the Signal Cable. I made one significant change and all the issues I had with the Signal Cable resolved. Before I tell you what change that was, let me remind you that I have Signal silver resolution ic running from m... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question Perhaps. I guess I want it all and for less than $200 for half a meter. I might ask Frank (of Signal Cable) for their copper cable to try. | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question I now have over 100 hours on the Signal SR i/c (see original post) and while the top end has smoothed out it is still just a tad strident for my taste. While this may improve with additional burn in time, I'm not so sure the midrange warmth which ... | |
| Power Wedge 1 vs Furman Elite 15 PF I have the Furman. When I connected my ARC vt200 to it the music seemed just a hair louder and more dynamic. I couldn't hear anything detrimental to the music. My pre remained exactly the same; no ill effects as far as I can tell. However, I could... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question Thank you! | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question Yes, except I have no other components besides another decent CD player that has balanced outs other wise I'd obviously use a less expensive source. But you reply confirms that there is no consensus of opinion as to whether the pre needs to be pow... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question Glory- I'd almost be inclined to hand deliver them just to hear your system! I'll give it until next week and then I might take you up on that generous offer. Thanks. | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question Cyclonicman- the new cable is the Signal Cable silver resolution. I have been using this cable from pre to amp for over a year and for the money it is excellent, better than the AQ Jaguar here imo. I was curious whether using the same cable to con... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question Can't use my tuner as it only has RCA outs and my new ic is XLR. I have an XLO test and burn-in CD with demagnetizing and burn-in tracks. Would there be any advantage in terms of burn-in time to use this instead of a music CD? Thanks for your resp... | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? As a teenager-early seventies, listening to Ten Years After / Cricklewood Green / Love Like A Man on a friend's system (actually I think it was his dad's), unsure of integrated, unsure of TT except that I had never seen a full size platter before,... | |
| ARC CD-2, dac or player upgrade? Hedgehog,I'd be very interested in knowing what Steve H. at GNSC says about mods for the cd-2. Thanks. BTW, I tried one of herbies cd mats and the cd-2 would not play properly. wondering if the transport needs re-alignment. | |
| ARC CD-2, dac or player upgrade? Yes, I am running balanced outputs to the pre. I thought GNSC didn't modify ARC players. Do you know anyone who had their ARC player modified by GNSC? | |
| ARC CD-2, dac or player upgrade? Overhang, any recommendations for a dac since you apparently tried many? | |
| ARC CD-2, dac or player upgrade? Tubemiser, I recently substituted an upgraded meridian 508.24 and was struck by a naturalness in the upper mids and highs that I perceive to be lacking in the ARC. Also, the meridian seemed to dig deeper in the lows. However, the meridian also see... | |
| Magnepan MG1 rebuilds? Slipknot1,I had a pair of MG-1c's since 1984 which I babied for 13 years when I managed to knock one over. The speaker fell flat on its face onto a carpeted floor and the impact shattered the mylar diaphragm. Other than that, there was no other da... |
