| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? I have found these cable manufacturers to be my top picks: Townshend, Zenwave, Cerious Technology | |
| A preamp recommendation +1 for the Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3. It’s the best preamp I’ve owned but If the price of the Backert is too steep then the LTA is my next recommendation. | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? I ran #2 wire to a sub panel and then made 2 runs of this stuff: https://www.gigawatt.eu/produkt/in-wall-cable-gigawatt-lc-y-3x4-mk3/ Along with Furutech GTX outlets, this wire has made a very positive impact on my system. It has brought my Co... | |
| Ridiculous sale @alanpiga I will send PM Lance | |
| Ridiculous sale I have an Aric Audio Transcend I will sell for a reasonable price. It’s definitely better sounding than the Decware since I’ve owned several Decware amps. | |
| Best power cord for a preamp? I’m using a Zenwave 14ga silver PC. Not cheap by any means but it brought my Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 to another level. | |
| Transition Audio Design modded Altec 1570B There is another guy that does the mods on these vintage commercial amps. John Tucker of Exemplar Audio is building me a set of Altec 1570B mono blocks and I should have them in about a month. Lance | |
| Speakers for Second System I have had a number of speakers in my 2nd system (living room). My favorites were between the TAD ME-1 and my current Janszen Valentina. My however, my wife fell in love with the Omn-directional sound of a relatively inexpensive pair of Decware ra... | |
| Am I allowed to BARTER?? What pair of XLR’s do you have? What length? | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) I just spent several months comparing the AGD Audion mono blocks to my Coda #16 amp and have made my choice. The AGD’s are very, very good. I think they sound spectacular but my Coda has something that I prefer. There is a deep dynamic snap that t... | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? Yes, get the MicroZOTL Preamp and don’t look back. You will not be disappointed. | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? I am having a pair of 1960 Altec Lansing 1570B mono blocks refurbished and modded. I have listened to these and the sound is just incredible. They were originally commercial amps and not suitable for home audio but the modifications change that in... | |
| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? I have heard the Rhumba and was very impressed. I own the Rhythm 1.3 and it’s the best preamp I’ve owned to date. Previous preamps I’ve had are: Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT, Audible Illusions Modulus and LTA MicroZOTL Preamp Which I still have in a secon... | |
| Zenwave SCR ribbon cables I have the PSR-11 and PSR-14 power cables. Im amazed and have found nothing better. | |
| What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25 I had the Coda #8 and now the Coda #16 and it’s the best solid state amp I’ve ever heard. |
