| What is your experience with legacy CH Acoustic cables? I never heard of CH Acoustic so googled it and read a Positive Feedback review about them.The review reminded me so much of auditioning an ic from Audio Sensibility(Statement se, OCC silver).Really beautiful,detailed,but too soft for my taste.My p... | |
| Slight hum from SLI-80 power amp Some people are able to solve a ground loop problem by lifting all of the grounds with cheater plugs except for one.IN THEORY everything is hooked together with only a single ground and you should be safe from being electrocuted in case of a short... | |
| Slight hum from SLI-80 power amp You already swapped the speaker cables,right?Then swapped the interconnects?Take the sub/subs out of the system and see what happens.Take away the source leaving just pre and amp.Next just try the amp and speakers together with no pre or source.Yo... | |
| Slight hum from SLI-80 power amp A loose or dirty cable connection could be the culprit also.If the tube swap gives no results try cleaning all of the connections. | |
| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" They certainly are attractive.I believe Paradigm is mostly targeting the home theater crowd.I'm nowhere near as nitpicky regarding SQ with our very modest ht set up.Movies and the soundtrack music sound really good but falls short for music only l... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @decooney you have a whole loom now!I might end up with one too.I'm somewhat of a cable junkie and am still trying some different ics.But the speaker cables are staying forever.Somehow the Analysis ics keep finding their way back between the pre a... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @ishkabibil "why buy speakers with limited bass response?" Some of us like the flexibility of smaller speakers that are easy to position for the best presentation.Then add subs at optimal positions around the room.There are no longer any peaks or ... | |
| Affordable cables Audio Envy cables are excellent,I recently tried their interconnects and power cords.They are way way better than their low price would have you believe. | |

| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @mesch a belated congrats!Looking forward to your impressions:-) | |
| Why no “Break in” period? If someone does have noisy power putting in the conditioner will have an immediate impact.The noise floor will drop but doesn't mean that their won't be some other changes in sound as the unit breaks in.As for expectation bias I suppose we all hav... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? I started with one sub years ago,added another last year,read posts from miller and nonoise,and was intrigued.After reading everything I could find about "the swarm" I added two more.I already had room treatments which smoothed the bass nicely and... | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? Before I invested in GIK panels I rolled up a thick foam mattress cover (cut in half) and propped/tied them up in various spots to get an idea of the effects.The same could be done with a rock wool panel.Straddling the corners had the most effect,... | |
| The order of getting more/better bass I have no equalizer.Reasonably efficient speakers,a decent amp,multiple subs,bass traps = excellent tuneful bass | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! So decooney and I have been comparing notes and when I seemed to be stuck obsessing over wire he suggested trying different tubes again to banish the last traces of annoying glare.He was right.I needed to add some richnessBefore the AP scs Sofia 6... |
