| Budget re-cabling Sidenote: how come that speaker cable cannot be found USED! Knowing that most have gone through various sets and that they don't wear, I am surpised to see few used offers for sale.... | |
| Budget re-cabling @audphile1 I most certainly believe that cables make a difference! As does any equipment in the signal path. What I do KNOW is that for me spending $100/ft vs $5/ft has an exponentially smaller return on investment (for me: approaching zero). Bu... | |
| Budget re-cabling As a science guy who does not believe in pixel dust and magic, you are severely disqualified in the audiophile world (speaking from experience, I am an engineer). You will probably never build your own power plant to make clean power, or plunk dow... | |
| Budget re-cabling @clearthink ...only for those who believe and have spent fortunes on pixeldust. | |
| Budget re-cabling In the context of cabling, I have read about the 'quality' of connectors (Solid Gold with pixel dust, silver, bad gold plated steel, etc). Yet, very little about a very critical point I can see, and that is the SIZE of the CONTACT POINT. One art... | |
| Budget re-cabling @lanx0003 Do you have a link to the full acrticle for the table? I assume the Mogami W2534 below is using (as speaker cable) two wires. And all leads plus the shield twirled/connected together into a connector? Or are those interconnect cable comp... | |
| Budget re-cabling @richardmathes I have heard of Blue Jeans Cables. Any specific that offer best bang/buck and low buck? | |
| Budget re-cabling @williewonka I just dug up the cables we found blow everything else out of the water 30 years ago when we had 'golden ears' and really were into audio (and I think Stereoplay magazine (Germany) a few years later tested and ranked them Absolute Spi... | |
| Budget re-cabling @lak I have the Micca on my radar. When they "PAIR" (and show 2 cables) do I get 2x 4m? The Raven cables at $250 ("pair") are already pushing the budget, but they offer free 45 days. | |
| Class H amps? @mrdecibel what other models aside from the A400 are in that 'group' (with respect to powe and sound quality)? Does the A-5002 fall into that category? | |
| B&W Nautilus 804 - center speaker - SACD 5.1 and Hometheater So, received the B&W HTM61 S2 and the SVS Prime. Both cost roughly the same (used B&W in very good shape, original box and packaging, etc, SVS brand new). Hooked up to my 5.1 and did some back/forth switching and listening. Then turned... | |
| Why do I need a switch? Only when you add more digital stuff into the signal path can you add the highly desired pixel dust. It makes the zeros rounder and the ones straighter. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Luckily for me, my memories including thinking back to the 'good ol' times' are actual proof that even at the young age (say 16?) I already WAS and audiophile. By the age of 18, had become full blown. Proof: even as teenagers, we listened to - gas... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Just guts feeling: size matters. Even if 2x xx diameter might have the same surface area (or moved air volume) than 1x yy (or to show my point, 20x 5 inch woofers same as (haven't done the math) 1x 18" woofer), I just don't think a bunch of 5" can... | |
| Solid copper or stranded copper for speaker cables? What is your choice and why? Multistrand (lots of them) JUMPER CABLE Wire. Also nice, flexible, very fine strands: GROUND wire for WELDERS !!! |
