| Long speaker cables - cost vs performance Hi JB - If foe whatever reason you can't get things closer, then you should look at cables that have exceptional performance at longer lengths, from the low cost OCOS cables, the Synergistic Research Tesla cables with their active shielding,and th... | |
| Premium guitar cables? Do they exist? JPS Labs also makes an very good guitar cable in their SuperConductor Q series of cables. | |
| Best 6M IC cable Gerrym5 - I would have to add the Nirvana SX Ltd to the mix - this is an excellent XLR cable for long runs, works well with tube gear and images better than anything else that I have ever tried. Truly an excellent cable set for this application! | |
| a tube amplifier repair technician I will also chime in on Bob Backert - he is a phenominal technician with tube gear and one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. I wish that there were a lot more people in this industry that were as pleasurable to work with | |
| What speaker cables and interconnects for Dali MS4 Wow- usually the guys that post on this site are all over themselves making recommendations. In my experience, there are a couple of cables that I know will work well with this system- both Stereovox and Nirvana. I have a couple of customers that ... | |
| RCA IC's to connect DAC to integrated amp Nirvana and Wavelength have long been a great match together and I think you might want to aim at the Nirvanas even though they might be at the top of your price range. I believe that the Cable Company is running a special on the SL interconnects ... | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 & Vandersteen 3As Analysis Plus does offer their cables with their NGS connectors which are 0.48" wide and should fit the terminal strip posts that Richard V insists on using for his (excellent) speakers. This, of course, is going to limit you to NEW speaker cables... | |
| Tuff question= Banana plug to adapt to Spade ? OZZY - You made this sooooooo easy once you said Nordost bananas. Nordost makes an EXCELLENT banana to spade adapter that fits perfectly and tightly into their bananas and uses gold plated spades. The cost for a set of 4 is somewhere around $54.00... | |
| Eggleston, Merlin, Jean Marie Reynaud???? Pluto, my advise to you would be to use the system that Merlin showed at the Stereophile show in NY this year - Merlin MMX speakers with the SUPERB Filharmonia (tube) integrated amplifier. This was one of the best sounding systems I have ever hear... | |
| VPI new Super Feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries Jamn - I have used the Herbies Audio "Way Excellent turntable Mat" in the past, but it makes centering the VPI outer ring clamp a PIA, so I stopped using the mat. I have an oversized Cloud 11 (with 6 balls) and isolate the HRX Motor assemble even ... | |
| VPI new Super Feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries I have a SuperScoutMaster player and have been using a Cloud 11 under it for almost 18 months on the top of a Polycrystal rack. The opportunity came up to get a pair of the new feet from VPI and I got a set and put them on the system. I have to sa... | |
| Dream State Audio power cables? I have BAT VK200 monoblocks ( NOT a typo!) and was running them with Shunyata Python Alpha Helix powercords and was quite happy with the performance until I had a chance to listen to the Deep Dreams power cords from Dream State. The change was cer... | |
| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Kjo - I would look at a VAC Renaissance as being a wonderful mix with your system - should add pinpoint imaging and give you depth to your soundstage that the Merlins will be make good use of. With balanced and single ended inputs and outputs, cin... | |
| Cable Burn-In Question Interconnect & Speaker Hi Oak3x - obviously Riffer is just trying to be helpful in his OWN way - otherwise why would he bother to comment???? We offer free cable burn in service with the purchase of any new cables, which helps out the guys with long runs and/or tube gea... | |
| Single, internal bi wire or internally? Hi Robert - I have to partially agree with Arthur (above) that you should forget the DH Labs cables . They are just not a good match for your speakers either with bi-wire or with jumpers. For far better performance in this setup at about the same ... |
