| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Hello David,How are you? Did you get your new S5 Mk II's set up yet?How's the rig sounding?Cheers,John | |
| Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time? I think it can be normal, as most audiophiles do have lives that require attention. I find that I don't listen nearly as often in the summer, as household chores, golfing, vacation, family gatherings, on top of a 50-60 hour work week can make list... | |
| If this sounds like YOUR Turntable story, please share your final chapter Somewhat familiar, but not totally true in my case. Started with VPI HW-19 Jr and worked up to VPI HW-19 mk IV.Yes, then the mystical force commanded me to upgrade, and I did to a Basis 2500 Signature w/ Calibrator base. Yes, the Basis was tighter... | |
| Selling? I like to check Audiogon listings for fun and maybe a purchase or three, but when I see someone who has valued their item badly--overvalued--I do chuckle, good luck with that! @austinbob , it's even funnier when they put "Priced to Sell" in ... | |
| When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade? @soundsrealaudio, I think if Spencer was divorced, he’d be listening to this: http://www.toysrus.com/buy/boombox-cd-players/monster-high-cd-boom-box-56049-11904631 | |
| Selling? HiFiShark is a great website to determine prices. It will show you current listings on all audio marketplace websites, as well as sold listings and what they sold for. I find Bluebooks to be inaccurate of the current market. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Dave, you should share that link with your friend randy-11. | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @mcgal , The AZ Double Barrel is even more powerful and dynamic than the Hologram II.However, that is not the point here. The OP is asking about the Satori, not about the Satori Shotgun. | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Some people feel all silver cables are good with tubed electronics, copper with solid state. But Cardas and Audioquest copper are used with ARC and other tubed amps at some dealers, so there are differences of opinion. Big surprise! That is ... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Well I have not heard the Clear Day cables, but I have seen that they use silver conductors. I have heard many cables that use silver conductors, and I have owned the Satori Shotgun speaker cables. Both can be very good in the right system, but yo... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Hey what did you think of the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun speaker cable John?? Hi Adam,I liked the Satori Shotgun cables, a good value cable. Reminds me a bit of the Purist Audio sound, full, warm, musical, great 3-D sound-stage, only less expensi... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? Years from now, you will re-read your posts and regret. No he won't Dave. I know folks like randy-11, who derive such pleasure in life by bringing irritation to others. The more aggravated you get, the more enjoyment they get out of life. They ... | |
| What do audiophiles want from a cable? @waxwaves , make that 0 for 3. ;^) | |
| Why has amplifier power become a big issue What has changed?People's perceptions of high end audio. The numbers, including pricing, have spiraled out of control since "back in the day".If you are happy with your current amp and speakers, just ignore all of the noise. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... fazee, an inexpensive adapter like this will help you burn in a cord on a refrigerator, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Edison-Female-Adapter/dp/B0015V1GXS |
