| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan I just returned from CAF. We spent about 30 minutes in this room listening to these speakers. They were in my top 4 or 5 speakers I heard at the show. The top 3 were all over $50k. I attended with a friend who has his own opinions of what he liked... | |
| WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5 This amp is anything but “sterile and lifeless”. In the current rotation of amps I’m using to power my Apogees, it is the most dynamic and involving. It just sounds right to me. Of course, that is for my taste. I have a friend who prefers my Jeff ... | |
| Power cable dilemma Ahhhh yes! Yet more insults. This time insulting my “audiophile creed”. I wasn’t aware that I needed an audiophile pedigree to ask a question. (Which you didn’t answer, by the way. I asked for 5 years, not 32 years, but nice try). Perhaps we need ... | |
| Power cable dilemma soix…so you would agree that power cable technology has made “quantum leaps” in the last 5 years? That’s all I want substantiated. I don’t care about any other cables. I don’t care about sound comparisons. All of you fragile audio elites get way t... | |
| Power cable dilemma I don’t think anyone is reading my posts because everyone is arguing about something I’m not even claiming! ALL I ASKED WAS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE THAT POWER CORD TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE A QUANTUM LEAP IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. That’s it. I’m not debating whet... | |
| Power cable dilemma soix, I’m going to guess you either did not read the whole thread or you just migrate around the site looking to play the ASR card. Someone made a claim that power cord technology has made “quantum leaps” in the last 5 years. I asked for proof. I ... | |
| Power cable dilemma I haven’t even messed with that cord. It is out of the rotation. I purchased a 12 gauge cord long enough to plug directly into the wall and that seems to be the way to go. Both my Levinson and Rowland amps seem to have better bass as a result. Esp... | |
| Power cable dilemma I think this conversation is about a claim that there have been quantum leaps in power cord technology in the last 5 years, not if there is a difference in power cords in general. | |
| Power cable dilemma This is why I asked for a source other than the manufacturer or a reviewer. A reviewer is only echoing what the manufacturer is telling them. | |
| Power cable dilemma Someone previously claimed that power cord technology has taken a quantum leap forward in the past 5 years. All I asked for was some evidence that shows current power cords are far superior to cords from 5 years ago (or 50 years ago, for that matt... | |
| Power cable dilemma Right. But where is the evidence that technology, and thus, performance, has advanced in the last 5 years? I’m not talking about price. I’ve been at this for 40 years, so I’m no novice. I’m also a rational thinking person that needs to see some co... | |
| Power cable dilemma Again, where is the data that shows power cord technology has taken a quantum leap in the last 5 years? I’m anxious to read up on these advancements because, surprisingly enough, I was not aware of it. | |
| Power cable dilemma What does mentioning which cord it is have to do with anything? If you read the thread you will see it mentioned about a half dozen times. Are you telling me that power cords from today are vastly (quantum leaps) superior to power cords from 5 yea... | |
| Power cable dilemma I appreciate all the feedback and trouble shooting. The good news is that the problem is solved and it isn’t a major power issue. Perhaps I’ve learned a bit in the process too. 👍🏻 | |
| Power cable dilemma This is what I don’t understand. It wasn’t a subjective difference in sound clarity I experienced. It was a volume difference and a temperature difference on the amp. These are both easily quantifiable. It honestly doesn’t make any sense. |
