| Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals. Rarely do I disagree with Al, but I believe that power cords, like cables, ARE tone controls, whether folks like to admit it or not.I think in the long run many of us like a somewhat similar sound. However, many approach this similar result via di... | |
| Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals. Purist Audio Design Dominus with Fluid always worked well with digital in my experiences. Kubala Sosna Emotion is another suggestion. | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? I'm very satisfied with the bass I am getting from my VAC Sigma 160i integrated amp driving my 90 dB, 5 ohm speakers. It is not as earth rattling as some bass I've heard from some large SS amps from the likes of Krell, Plinius, etc. However, to me... | |
| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Rhumba it is! Congrats to Victor, and the boys at Backert Labs for running a fun contest.My entry was Timbre....maybe next time. The Backert Labs Timbre, you could have called it the BLT for short. ;^) | |
| Is it time for a phono stage? Of the 3 that you mention, the Herron VTPH-2 is probably the best option, and maybe overall in that price range. One more option that I'd consider in that range is the Allnic H-1201. | |
| interconnects How important is the cable between the Preamp and Amp? 68pete 08-27-15Not important at all. I've been running with no interconnect cable at all between preamp and amp for about a year now, and couldn't be happier. ;^)YMMV.Cheers,John | |

| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Nice idea! I'm glad to see that Bob and Gary Backert are finally getting some long overdue recognition. Good luck on your new preamp, I hope I win one!Cheers,John | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? Why is this posted on the Cables Forum? | |
| Power Cord with a 20 amp female and 15 amp male ? Dave's not here. | |
| Anti Cables and Are They That Good It all depends on the ancillary gear and the listener as to if they are that good.I've only heard the original Anti Cables, and while I did think they were good bang for the buck, I felt they could be bettered for not a whole lot more $$$. That wa... | |
| receptacles 08-04-15: Charles1dadJohn,The OP isn't seeking warmth, he's pursuing clarity and neutral/natural character. Ahhh...you are correct sir. Speed reading tripped me up again, sorry. ;^) | |
| receptacles If you are looking for warm, I've found the Oyaide SWO-GX to be a sweeter sounding outlet. That said, I do agree with Lak that 50 hours burn in is not long enough. However, considering you are using a Nordost cables and power cord, as well as Arca... | |
| Shunyata Power cords Too Boomy and screechy? Burn in certainly could be an issue. However, if you are happy with the AQ cords, it seems that the simple solution would be to use the AQ cords and sell the Shunyata cords. I buy and sell cords and cables all the time. Generally speaking, I'm not... | |
| Tom Cruise Well they do mention McIntosh and Magico in the interview. |
