| How to improve my system : Shunyata Hydra ? If you heard a similiar system to yours though in a different room, I don't think the differences you heard were a result cables. To many other variables.steve | |
| Silly Question: Short Power Cord + Ext. Cord? I haven't seen many cable makers claim their products work based on your criteria #2, so maybe it is the cord that is the absence of the bad cord that makes better music?If RFI is an issue, you can even get cheap shielded low gauge cables like Vol... | |
| Interconnects: a conductor is a conductor, right? Sean, I don't understand your point, the cables compared are not the same, one is a wire conducter and the other is and electro/optical system. The Cardas seem to measure fine as one would expect.steve | |
| balance and single ended what I heard Hey BigJoe thanks for counting, but I am only pointing out that cable differences are most likey not the cause of such dramatic loss of listenability as described. On the other hand, it does not suprise me that using balanced vs single ended on a ... | |
| balance and single ended what I heard Thoughts...maybe you are using equipment with lousy balanced cicuits?...I don't see cables causing the woes to ones system are you describing. They are just wire you know:)...steve | |
| is interconnect more important than speaker cable These guys are right, the key phrase to remember is:"you should spend...."steve | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results If the difference is enough to be audible, why not stretch out the session and decide if it's worth investing in?.Who cares what wins the A or B test. Does anyone listen that way? If you do determine there are differences between a and b, the test... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results I think people are under too much pressure to make a decision when confronted with A or B. Why should a change in your audio system be based on a decision made in 10 seconds or less?Al et all, quick switching is used to determine if a difference i... | |
| Help Need input-Hydra vs New Speaker Cables If you have power problem as you might in nyc, just get a line filter cheaper than the hydra. All systems will respond to cleaning up grunge if you have it, speaker cable change might not even make a difference. steve | |
| Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price.... nGlazer, rca s/pdif is a 75 Ohm cable and AES xlr is 110 Ohm. You can reterminate all you want, but you will not have the correct impedence. How does the provider of this job explain this to you?steve | |
| Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price.... try a balanced pro cable.steve | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGURU, you completely don't get any of the technical aspects of digital audio, it would be better for all if you avoid telling these wild tales!:)thanks for reporting your listening session..steve | |
| Riddle me this: how is carbon a conductor? These cords mix silver conductors with carbon, so the low impedence silver would probably swamp out any contribution from the carbon.steve | |
| Speaker Cables - Optimal Length What a joke, there is no majik. 8 ft creates a good listener-speaker triangle, that's it. If an amplifier relies on cable inductance like Naim, you can use a longer cable or get another amp.Kimber is a low inductance design cable so long lengths a... | |
| Impression of Purenote Cerulean & competitors? Start with a run of Canare star quad mic cable. With that length you will get the best performance using xlr. It will cost less than the tax on anything else.steve |
