| Reference 3A Grand Veena Yes, indeed a few years ago when I was using 1000 watts on the speakers I too would have had my doubts about what a single 2 watt amp could do.I also read about the synergy og the Grand Veena with tubes, so that's why I set out to listen to as man... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner But I'm not trying to prove it to you.You are asking me to prove it to you.There is a difference.I am not seeking validation, or approval for that matter.I am just stating what my ears are telling me.I can never prove that my ears can hear things ... | |
| 15A or 20A Power Cord Looks like the 15 20 amp power cord is settled, now we are into fuses.By the way I have a Hydra 2 that uses a DIY Furutech power cord, and the Rhodium 20 amp furutech plugs.Sounds better to my ears than the other DIY power cord with cheaper parts,... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Let's look at the term "snake oil".Its an old term brought back to life, now related to audio and not medicine.We all know stories about the travelling medicine man.Then the gullible folks who were duped out of their money, by miraculous but false... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner I have to disagree, Jeff, this thread can go on as long as there are two opposing viewpoints.I personally don't expect you or any other person to experience what I experience, in my system and with whatever power cords I have at hand.All I can do ... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena Here's the amps I've auditioned with my Grand Veenas-Mac 275,Pass Aleph3, AtmaSphere S30, Bell 2418 18 watt tube integrated from 1961,,Grant Lumley tube integrated,Art Audio Carissa,Red DragonnLeviathan signature mono blocks.All these amps worked ... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Everyone is pretty much at the mercy of what goes into the panel, but somehow all the hundreds of miles between it and the "source" doesn't seem to be all that important.In the big picture,it's what is done after the panel that really matters and ... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Excellant reply Grant.I am glad you stepped out of the shadows.Some folks rip the guts out of old vintage gear at great expense , and replace old worn parts with newer designer devices, yet they can't wrap their minds around power cords.If somethi... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner You folks on Agon are lucky.The mods at Cannuck Audio Mat(CAM) where I am held in low esteme for being and UN denier-would havelocked this thread down or deleted my posts for posting my experiences with after market power cords, be they DIY or sto... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Here's a question I would like answered by the "deniers".Why would anyone spend $1000.00 on a power cord if it didn't sound better than a $6.00 one?I certainly wouldn't if there was no difference.But I have spent $2000.00 several times for power c... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena The only direct comparison that I've had with the Grand Veenas were the Vandersteen model 5 speakers at the same dealers.The grand Veenas shared some characteristics with the big Vandie, and truth be told, if money wasn't a factor I would have gon... | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner I just put together my Furutech power cord for my Hydra two power conditioner.So far so good,nothing earth shatteringly different from my other DIY power cord,but quite the difference cost wise in parts.I went with the rhodium 20 amp IEC and 20 am... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena The Grand Veena,reminds me of a few electrostats that I have owned.The speakers are revealing of tweaks and mods elsewhere in the chain, yet they aren't fatiguing or hyper detailed.They don't thump like some cone speakers do, but they do go deep.P... | |
| Decware - any substance here? I just replaced the stock fuse with a HiFi tuning Supreme and the results are good.If you like to tube roll , don't forget to roll the fuse also.If you are a Re-fusenik,you'll miss the next level of performance the DecWare amps are capable of. | |
| Anyone use CD tweaks Interesting, I also do the sanding, black hole treatment to my cds ,just prior to a demag.Just run your finger around the edge of a cd and you'll feel a lot of ridges and irregularities.I was given a demo of the Geman disc cutting machine for cd's... |
