| Silver Wire Greetings Dragunski--- I have a pair of DIY speakers that are similar to Legacy Focus in design. The builder used stranded copper wire and they sounded quite good that way. I re-wired them internally with the heavy gauge Anti-cables speaker c... | |
| Questions About Bulk Power Cable, Sugestions Needed I've been through numerous power cords over the last few years, everything from Gutwire, Stealth, Electraglide, Fusion Audio, 6Sons Audio...... and so forth. Eventually, I began trying different wire with premium plugs ( I prefer the Oyaide 046 a... | |
| Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals. I had a similar problem with a pair of custom speakers using Eton metal dome mids and tweeters. The detail was fantastic but too many cd's had that upper midrange glare you're referring to. I would probably have just sold the speakers but they w... | |
| Ideal Cheap Low-Watt Amp for Martin Logan Quest What if you ran the amp, ideally a higher powered one, off of a generator used specifically for that purpose? | |
| looking for truly transparent affordable amp s Zd542---putting the KAV 250 in the same league as the Aleph 0's intrigues me. I demoed, in home for a week, an Alternative Audio CA100, which I was told by the dealer, was a similar design to the Alephs and of similar sound (he said the AA CA100 w... | |
| looking for truly transparent affordable amp s Dick--thank you for illustrating the Pass Labs XA30.5 info. That changes things a bit. I'll look further into that option. Much appreciated! | |
| looking for truly transparent affordable amp s Beavis---my SET amp is 45w into an 8 ohm load and it drives the custom speakers to perfection unlike the similarly powered gainclones I've tried. I have been interested in the Decware amps but, aside from the more pricey monoblocks, find them all ... | |
| looking for truly transparent affordable amp s Aolmrd1241----thanks for the suggestion of the Taranis amp. The review sounded promising although the lack of RCA inputs seems oddJrinkerptdnet----all my sources have variable outputs (including a Revox tuner) and I seldom come close to turning an... | |
| Matching the sensitivity of two amps for bi-amping I've been biamping a pair of DIY speakers that are similar in design to the Legacy Focus using a pair of Peerless 12" woofers per side as well as Eton midbass, midrange, and tweeters. The bass drivers seem ever so slightly less efficient than the ... | |
| Speaker cables to smoothen things up I don't have much experience with speaker cable experimentation but I've tried numerous interconnects and power cords over the last few years. My system was very dynamic with a pair of Fusion Audio Enchanter power cords and a Virtual Dynamics Plat... | |
| Emotiva XPA - 1 mono blocks. I bought a pair of the generation 1 XPA-1's last year to drive a pair of BG Corp 520DX ribbon/hybrid loudspeakers. I'd been using a Theta Intrepid and biamping the speakers with 200 watts/channel into the speakers' 4 ohm load. The sound was smooth... | |
| KT-88 gold lions verses the new tung-sul kt-120 I had a pair of VAS Audio Citation II monoblocks a few years back (modern version of the HK Citation II as monoblock amps). These could use EL34/KT88/6550. Originally I had the EH EL34 and Shuguang EL34's. The EH tubes were more detailed, almost a... | |
| Amplifier Choices for Low Side of Biamped Speakers I have a pair of custom speakers similar in design to the Legacy Focus using Eton drivers (tweeters/midranges/midbass drivers) and 12' Peerless/NHT woofers. I've been biamping these for years with a JAS Array 2.1 driving the midbass on up section.... | |
| Airsine and other power cables to shortlist I've used the Furutech FI 25G and I hated them. I was looking to rid my system of some upper midrange brightness/glare and thought the gold would tame this but the plugs clipped the top end, extension and air, gave the sound an opaque quality redu... | |
| Best Bulk Cable I'll agree wholeheartedly with the IeGO plug recommendation but the 8095 rhodium over silver plug is way better than the gold plated 8085 or rhodium over copper 8075. It is both more extended on top than the other plugs with greater air and detail... |
