| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I forgot to mention my star cable, an ancient bright purple Madrigal digital cable. Cheap to buy but good luck finding one. I have heard many but nothing has bettered it yet and not really trying anymore.I got this from a friend with a Wadia/Mark ... | |
| The guru on fuses: @georgelofi : you state, "He's probably the dumbest of all the fusers here, as he "tries to justify" his stupidity".Good one georgie boy, advocating for displaying stupidity with reckless abandon.What you need to strive for is 'wreck-less' regardi... | |
| The guru on fuses: @georgelofi, Wow, interesting business model you have there conning your customers. Do you sleep well at night? We all know you can't hear the difference so why oh why do you need to waste our time with your insulting negativity. | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I have made all my cables except for one interconnect which is about 14 years old, the Van den Hul Orchid interconnect. I later swapped out the RCA connectors for top of the range Furutech and noticed a small but important improvement.Outside diam... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? @ shalommorgan, thanks. If you have tamed those wobbly waves down to 30Hz then your room should sound as good as it looks.I will send you a PM shortly. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? @ shalommorgan, Very impressive, looks smart and purposeful. Did you measure the room performance as you were adding treatment? @ pureaudio, wow, I am appalled at the good money you spent and without the reward. I sympathise.Re: Denis Fooley, wha... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. @OP, when I suggest searching on the net I do not mean a forum like this. There are groups specifically about acoustics. Here are 2 links to get you started.https://www.gearslutz.com/board/studio-building-acoustics/https://www.audiocircle.com/inde... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. @mahgister, we are on the same page.@669326 Dear OP, it does not work like that. You are going to continue to get 'advice' and most of it will contradict itself unfortunately. In my experience only a very small percentage of those keen on reprodu... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. @sokogear you state "room treatments can’t fix a terrible room". Then what can fix it? All rooms need acoustic treatment whether you think they do or not. Fact. Any enclosed space will have a modal problem and it is this that the treatment addr... | |
| Downside to R2R Ladder DACs? @cheeg, that salesman you trust is untrustworthy. Move on. I have an ancient Wadia 15 that only plays redbook. Uses the famous Burr Brown PCM63 and sounds wonderful. If there has/had been drifting it still managed to outperform a bunch of DACs in... | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? @hilde45, stubborn nulls or deep partial nulls just need more bass traps and in the right place which are the corners. All corners can be considered, This means the wall to ceiling corner and the wall/wall corners. And unfortunately they must be B... | |
| FUSES, Finally!? Can always rely on a fuse thread for some entertainment. WOW guys really?If you don’t believe fuses can make a difference, great you have eliminated the issue and can move on. That is, PLEASE MOVE ON. Why waste your time belittling others when you... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? A lot of suggestions offered. Unfortunately the bulk of them will NOT bring about a significant improvement. In fact unless the room acoustics are sorted the small but worth while potential of some of these suggestions will be lost in your room wh... | |
| Recommendation for new cables Hi lalitk, yes we agree OCC cables are excellent and find I mostly prefer solid. If you read my post again you will see we are on the same pageRegarding my sentence : “Your desire for only one brand to have synergy across the system is unlikely t... | |
| Recommendation for new cables Your desire for only one brand to have synergy across the system is unlikely to provide that to your quality components.Except for cable companies that use magnets or filter boxes or liquid metal in their cables you are probably not going to find... |
