| DIY cable cooker for power cables? Male IEC? Dude,A keg fridge? PM me I want to listen to your system with a frosty chilled PC : )LM | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Sherod,Excellent points all. Placing greater importiance on one cable while discounting the importance of a different cable "in the signal path," is much like placing greater importance on a specific link in a chain at the expense of another when ... | |
| Interconnects for TT I recently auditioned two cables through The Cable Co. for my new analog rig- a SOTA Cosmos with SME V tone arm and Lyra Scala cart driving a Convergent Audio Technology SL I Ultimate MkII pre-amp.In my system the Hovland Music Groove II had a ple... | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? >>> The answer of " products are designed to a price point" doesn't hold true in high end game. I don't think many manufacturers were considering price when building much of the product seen on the hi-end market. <<<Alun,Seriousl... | |
| Black Diamond Racing Cones Type 3 vs 4 I find two 4's and one 3 gives you just enough warmth in the mid range while opening up the soundstage. When I've listened to all 3's it darkens the sound too much while all 4's lack harmonic ballance.LM | |
| Acoustic Zen vs Synergistic Research >>>if the Accelerator made them sound grainy in comparison then that's one hell of a cable<<<It is my friend, oh but it is.LM | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? Do power cords make a difference? I visited the Synergistic factory last week and I concur with Brutusab. The Synergistic Research reference system is amazing and the power cord demonstration compelling- just don't stand too close to the Tesla Coi... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Power Cords.1. DAC and Transport2. Pre Amp3. Power AmpFor interconnects.1. Source to pre2. Pre to powerIn my opinion speaker wires are every bit as important as interconnects so if you need to make a significant change with just one pair of interc... | |
| Another speaker wire possibility at Home Depot??? "12 ga. is 12 ga"I disagree. Connect 12 gauge Monster Cable- the original stuff that looks like thick lamp cord between your speakers and amplifier. Now listen to your system and compare the sound to cable that does not look like 12 gauge lamp cor... | |
| my take on blind tests The differences between cables are as significant to my ears as what I hear when evaluating electronics and speakers, but of course I don't close my ears (or my eyes) when making such evaluations. Perhaps I'll give this blind testing thing a shot ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Mctgood,Great review. So you really liked the Tesla phono cable huh? I don't see anything about this on SR's website but since I'm getting ready to take the plunge into vinyl (again), I think I'll give it a try. How much does this cable cost- is i... | |
| My thoughts on Synergistic Research Tesla It's the Editor's Choice issue (the current issue just out a few days ago). Look in the Editor's Choice section. They list the Active REL Spec sub-woofer cable, Alpha Sterling and Alpha Sterling Active IC's, Tesla Accelerator IC's and SC's, Tesla ... | |
| My thoughts on Synergistic Research Tesla >>it seems TAS likes Synergistic Research<<I'm sure TAS, like all businesses, enjoys ad retinue however I did a little checking in my back issues, and from what I can see, Synergistic is not even a monthly advertiser in TAS- they only ... | |
| My thoughts on Synergistic Research Tesla Teslaphiles take a look at this months The Absolute Sound- it seems TAS likes Synergistic Research too : ) | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Dazzdax,I don't know about spending $10,000 on a single pair of interconnects but I do know a thing or two about vintage gear. In my component library I have a pair of Western Electrics 9 watt amps and a pair of Voice of the Theater horns acquired... |
