| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? Can anyone comment on the Valve Audio Predator's resolution and transparency? I briefly had a SIM Audio I-5LE in my system several months back and was quite dismayed at the opaque sound I was getting. I'd heard this was a transparent amp and, in m... | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer I haven't been responsive to the advice offered to this thread and I apologize for that. I've had Mr Baird at Moon Audio build me an umbilical using Cardas Crosslink and have had a problem with the cord (no problem with Moon Audio--highly recommen... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? Just wanted to comment on the necessity of having ICE amps (the Wyred ST-500 in particular) powered continuously:I ran the ST-500 for a couple of weeks directly from the wall using both the Sunny Cables and later, the Windigo (about a week each) c... | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer When I indicate sub cables, I'm really talking about regular analog RCA interconnects. The sub's amp/crossover is outboard and uses an umbilical to connect to the subwoofer. I'm having Moon Audio check into upgrading that. I'm just looking for a f... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? I'll try the Wyred direct from the wall and leave it powered continuously and see where that leads. I hate to remove it from the PS Audio power plant--the regenerator really helps with focus. Still, that's a free sound experiment so it's worth a s... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? I've had the Wyred amp for most of this year and ran it several hours a day the first few weeks to burn it in. I've also ran it extensively burning in a pair of interconnects followed by the new crossovers so it has almost certainly been burned in... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? One more thing, I forgot to mention that transparency is a must. It's right up there with resolution and focus. Thanks again----LRC | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer Just wanted to thank all for your input. I've had the sub in the shop for awhile getting a new surround installed and now have the umbilical at Moon Audio checking out options on upgrading this cable as well. Thanks all! | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer I see a couple of recommendations for PS Audio power cords.Is there much of a difference between the lower models and the upper models as far as running a sub-amp goes and how do the older models compare to the more recent and newer cords? I prese... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Sns---A fellow A'goner may do the crossover upgrades though I couldn't possibly afford the kind of caps you mention. I'm certainly out of my league when it comes to $1000 caps. Since I put an Oyaide R1 in the wall and run my power conditioner from... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Rfogel8---If I came across as offended, sorry. I can be rather direct but I wasn't offended; perhaps frustrated though. These speakers replaced a pair of Von SchweikertVR 4 Gen II's and, after I lined them with Dynamat (damping) and wired them int... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord I would really like to upgrade the crossovers. It's been on my "to do" list for quite some time. I even shipped them up to Meniscus Audio a couple years back and they said they were just fine the way they were. That doesn't inspire me. Perhaps one... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Rfogel8----I'm in total agreement with you that the metal dome mids & tweeters exacerbate brightness in recordings.I don't believe either the PS Audio P-600, Wyred4Sound ST-500, or Consonance Droplet are bright themselves. I believe my system ... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Update---I wanted to try a gold plated outlet to see if it would take some of the edge out of my system (only presents itself on some "hot" recordings with certain instruments) and found a SWO-GX and and R1 from Oyaide used here on A'gon. The GX p... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Well, I'm waiting on an Oyaide SWO GX (gold plated outlet) to arrive and see if that takes the edge out of my system.If not, I'll probably acquire either/both a Kubala Emotion and/or a Purist Dominus. My system consists of a CDP, an amp, and a pow... |
