| Does surge suppressor negate upgraded power chords Hello Tommy - rather than getting into the fray that is certain to come, what do your ears tell you? Did the upgraded power cords make an improvement in what you hear from your system? If they did, then the question should really be "how much bett... | |
| Who make the pretiest cables, cords out there? I'll cast my vote for Crystal Cables - LOTS of WAF in those cables! | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla Apex vs. Tara the One I want to cast another vote for Synergistic here. In my system, the S/R's had far more realistic of a presentation, letting you hear what the recording engineer had in mind. The S/R cables also had the "edge" with transient response ( leading edge... | |
| speaker cables Gman, try calling the Cable Company and audition both S/R and Purist in your system. You might also want to try a pair of the Kimber Bi-Focal XL cables, which might just give you exactly what you are looking for. Enjoy | |
| Top 3 power cord for DAC I cast my vote for the Nirvana PC+MB as being one of the best power cords for DAC as well as integrated cd players. | |
| Tally up best preamplifier ever I cast my vote for the Veloce Audio LS1 battery powered tube preamp that made my Vac Renaissance sound broken by comparison. The Veloce phono stage that pigtails off the preamp is absolutely the best I have ever heard as well. | |
| Opinions: BALANCED cables for Aesthetix I would also suggest that you look into Silent Source Signature interconnects - great match with your electronics. Enjoy! | |
| speaker cables for Wilson Sophia The very best that I EVER heard a Sophia sound was with Synergistic Research Tesla speakers cables at the 2009 CES. YMMV | |
| Transparent Cable Humming Greg - I would try a set of KImber TAK ( tone arm kable)- CU or Cardas Neutral Reference Phono cables for this application - good luck! | |
| Kimber 8tc w/ Mark Levinson 23.5 and Revel F52 Since you are using Transparent interconnects, I recommend that you use Transparent speaker cables to take advantage of the synergy when using the same cables throughout the system. Just my 2 centavos. | |
| Transparent Cable Humming Greg - apparently your "retailer" is not aware of the fact that a phono cartridge operates at a FAR lower output level than other audio components ( cd player, tape deck, etc). It is for these other components that the TRansparent ML Plus was desi... | |
| VPI HRX Buconero - I have no idea where you got your 'tude, but I have had NO problem speaking with Harry at VPI. He is at work every day and offers exceptional help and guidance for his customers. | |
| Best 3 tube preamps under $18000? As the proud owner of a VAC Ren pre, I was flabergasted (astounded, amazed, etc) when I heard the Veloce LS1 battery powered tube preamp (about $14k or so). This is easily the single most dynamic, blackest background, most musical pre that I have ... | |
| Speaker cables for Vandersteen 3A Signature? Just have your new speaker cables made with barrier strip (aka terminal strip) spades at the speaker ends. Most of the major cable makers are familiar with this term and have these smaller spades available. | |
| Best cables to be used for pass labs X250.5, XP10 Hello Jeerunn40 - there are lots of good cable choices for Pass and Magnepans - Synergistic Research, Silent Source, Acoustic Zen, Harmonic Tech, and Analysis Plus to give you the top ones. Since you have some time, you should be able to get yours... |
