| Fake Audioquest sky cables EBM - just for your information, Stealth has a larger problem with counterfeit cables (from the far east) than Audioquest does. Buyer beware! | |
| Direct lines and adding a power conditioner Audiolabyrinth - not to belabor the point, but if you check the electrical code for residences, ALL circuits must have a single point of ground, which is the panel ground at the service entrance. | |
| Lyra Delos or Helicon versus Soundsmith Zephyr Svenjosh - I find your comments about Soundsmith carts being "like a good digital source" to be 180 degrees off target - no offense intended. I have used the SS Zephyr and am currently using the SS Ebony Voice and found both to be delightfully mus... | |
| Direct lines and adding a power conditioner Audiolabyrinth - I would NOT be in the habit of telling people to wire their circuits with dedicated grounds in direct violation of most residential electrical codes. Certainly you CAN wire things this way, but it is not going to meet code and cou... | |
| Magnepan with upgraded fuses Schipo - you are mistaken - the audio signal runs directly thru the fuses on Magnepans, so it is every bit as important to sound quality as he speaker cables. | |
| XLR cables that sound bold, natural, real..silver? You might also consider the Revelation interconnects by DH Labs - a very good, sanely priced, pure silver interconnect | |
| JPS Superconductor 3 vs Inakustik LS-1603 MM622- I believe that you are confused with your comments about JPS SC3 being "hard like steel". The Old version of Superconductors were very stiff and springy, but SC3 is not nearly as stiff and is not springy at all. Sonically, I really enjoy th... | |
| New cart for under 1K HI David- I would get the Soundsmith Zephyr in this price range for your setup. It is an exceptional moving iron cartridge with terrific seperation and wonderful sense of timbre. | |
| 2 REL T-5 subwoofers vs. one Rythmik 12 Hello Manolo - the Rel is a very good sub and if you intend to connect the pair via high level ( speaker) interface, I would choose these over the Rythmic. If, however, you intend to use the low level interface ( RCA) to the sub, the Rythmic is th... | |
| Help with Cartridge Alignment Lubachl - I think you are getting confused. The Fozgometer is a tool used for getting the exact azimuth and maximum amount of channel seperation once the cartridge is properly aligned. Cartridge alignment is best accomplished using a MINT or Feike... | |
| Maggie 3.6 Interconenct Upgrade Hello Dsper - There are now a whole LOT of specialty fuses available from HIFi Tuning, Audio Magic, Furutech, Iso-Clean, and SYnergistic Research ( to name a few). I am not going to go into a metalurgy discussion here as every "audiophile" has his... | |
| Maggie 3.6 Interconenct Upgrade Hello Dsper - YES - Mye stands are going to be one of the best sonic investments you can make for the 3.6's - HUGE increase in resolution/clarity. Getting the crossover boxes off the back of the speakers by using 15"-18" jumpers (BFA bananas work ... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic 3? I will second the voting for the VPI Zephyr cartridge. Great seperation and top to bottom balance, very musical, and matches extremely well with the VPI unipivot arms, all for under $1000. Interesting that it also seems to be a lot less sensitive ... | |
| Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable Hello Otto - I am not at all certain what information you need for "your" justification, but Purist Audio is a very reputable company and the lead designer, Jim Aud is very accessable by phone or email. They do publish their specifications and tre... | |
| Which AC cord for SR Tesla PowerCell SE MK III? Hi Jeff - because the PowerCell 10 SE uses a 30A Nema connector on it, my guess is that very few ( if any) people will have tried other power cords than S/R's with the PowerCell. I can certainly recommend the Precision Reference SE power cord as b... |
