| Cable auditions - Hard Work? Chang, I have a 65 year old audiophile friend with hearing aids and he could hear the improvement a Hydra 2 and Python cord made to the sound of his old 1970's AcoustatX 4 panel speakers as well as I could.He was skeptical that it would and didn't... | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? Some people have built in defence mechanisms when it comes to cables having differences.I have seen this polarity in other forums and neither camp claims defeat.What it boils down to is that this is all opinions.Some hear, some don't; some don't w... | |

| What speakers match well with Atma Sphere? I had a stacked pair of Quad ESL 57 that were wired in series/parallel to keep the impedence at 16 ohms. The Atma Sphere 30 stereo amp was magic with 57 Quads. | |
| Cable Suggestions I have always been a cable believer,but recently I made some changes in the placement of my system.I used to have 1 metre lengths of Cardas golden Hex 5 from my mono block amps to my speakers and 1 metre lengths of Shunyata Aries inter connects fr... |
