| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? pindac, No, I don’t feel that way at all..I’ve already been through all the Typical Investigations and Purchases…And their consequences. | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? cantorgate Yes, I had read comments regarding the service and delivery side of AI that were not favorable. I think when you deal with a one man show company it’s going to be about timing. So, where was he when you stepped in or place in line. The... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? The value of a great dealer rules! From the start, I had my speakers not far from the walls for 2 reasons. I am dealing with a front to back distance of 14 feet, plus I felt obliged to follow the rule of thirds (triangle) as the speaker manufactu... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? I appreciate all the positive comments from the community, and I’m not a stranger to the vast numbers of opinions in here and out there. So far, I have not spent a dime, and my system has a fresh sound with specific improvements that I was looking... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? audphile1 - What goes around comes around. Sometime back I contacted Jeff about replacing my speaker cables with the Audience. However, my Shilabe cartridge was aging and was starting to lose its pizazz. Again, I had to make a choice and bought th... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? First, I'm going to zero in my speakers. soix - Yeah, the Cross are older than many of the members here, but they must be broken in by now! LOL. I'm looking at a total budget of under $6K. audphile1 - Now that cables at least feel the way to go,... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? Thanks soix, I used those Herbie's gliders on a rack that I built with my daughter for her system. My speakers sit upon custom Silent Running Audio platforms for isolation with completely flat bottoms. I'll talk to my dealer Jeff to find out if it... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? Gentlemen, I let go of my reservations about moving my speakers out into the room. The difference from prior trials, is that I pulled them out farther than ever before. I then toed them in as well, and I'm still experimenting with this. Right now... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? soix - The reason for the speakers wanting corners is for bass. There are 2 bass drivers in the rear of each speaker that are ported out the back. By themselves in this setup, the speakers can normally go down to 30hz. With the addition of the cus... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? audiophile1, You have very solid points about steering me away from cables and concentrating instead on treatments and speaker placement. I’m aware of the rules that affect the soundstage, but not that simple in my case. For the most part, I have... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? pindac, Thank you for all the info you provided about the PC Triple C cable. I have checked out your links, plus I found a couple more of interest. BTW - I may already be using the Ortofon tag wires as you refer to them. I’ve always considered us... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? mclinnguy, Yes, I’ve played around somewhat with my interconnects and have settled where they stand today. Not much changes doing so, anyway. It seems the sum equals the whole. I’m actually happy with power cords, and wonder if I should have spe... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? soix, You make a great point about the improvements I’m looking for! To summarize my sound, it’s relaxed, laid back, very detailed, and open. Authentic to the recording as it is revealing, is the best way for me to describe it in my space. So, w... | |
| Sound Impressions - Benchmark HPA4/LA4 in use with a quality vinyl rig? singingg, Thank you for sharing your findings with the LA4. I plan on trying out the HPA4 in order to draw my own conclusions as the results are obviously system dependent. Actually, this makes sense for any new component in one’s system. So, pro... | |
| Sound Impressions - Benchmark HPA4/LA4 in use with a quality vinyl rig? The Elector was reviewed by the Part Time Audiophile in 2022. He loved it and kept it for himself. I had checked out the Holo Serene, but again this is a fully balanced preamp, so not ideal for a single-ended output. It doesn’t make sense for me ... |
