| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @tvrgeek If you think you are getting noise into your analog system via the Ethernet, I suggest you have a crappy Ethernet NIC so you are expecting magic cables to fix a bad design. I’m sure I was getting noise from my Panoramic modem that th... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? PS: FWIW All in My Digital source cost about $3700 including NOS Mullard’s, isolation base, vibration control, cables and LPS. It sounds pretty good and very satisfying when compared to my much more expensive analogue source. | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? @williewonka Ha! About the LHY LPS: Yes, SQ improvement was not subtle. The upgrade requires replacing the internal powerboard as well as adding an outboard LPS so there is no need for adapters. I replaced the cheap PC to the LPS with a good qu... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? @williewonka Checked out your website - tons of info and some really nice photography. | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? @williewonka The LHY LPS for the NODE N130 was the only component still using a stock/cheap PC. I have several Zavfino products: Speaker cables PC for the DAC Interconnects for DAC and PS USB Cable | |
| Five feet from the front wall @james633 You will want to be no more than 39” or more than 7’ for smooth bass due to 1/4th wave rear wall cancelation. I found this to be true for my Harbeth 40.3XDs, although I read somewhere 24" from the rear of the speaker so 39" from th... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? @mwh777 Again, keeping an open mind can lead to sonic benefits. I compared the supplied cable with a well broken in Raven Audio Sonequil PC. I used Norah Jones Come Away With Me and Chick Corea Trilogy 2 as test material. The vocals on on Don'... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? @mwh777 I also have a BS Node (N130). The LHY LPS improvement was not subtle. I'm an "everything matters to a point" guy, so skeptical about spending money on LPS PCs - after all the LPS is supposed to provide clean, linear power right? Having ... | |
| Cables for Aurender N150 @blisshifi Thx. Will do. | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @allenf1963 love that tune. I grew up in Canada - it got played a lot back in the day. | |
| Not selling Cardas cables online again, just wanted to share..... That’s nothing. I sold a perfectly good Pro-Ject RPM 10 Carbon turntable and got a PP charge back and a completely destroyed turntable returned to me 45 days later. The guy claimed it took him 30 days to open the giant wooden crate and refused to... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! There were 10,140 posts on AG with "cables matter" before this thread started. Now there are 10,151. Well done team. | |
| Cables for Aurender N150 I use a Zavfino USB but my only comparison is the stock/cheap USB that came with my DAC, but, they make great cables at very competitive prices. Construction appears similar to DH Labs. Having said that, I was recently challenged by an AG thread ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations I have Zavfino Nova's $390 for a 2.5m pair. OCC copper. (my system is posted in virtual systems for reference) They will make a 10ft but it will be a custom non-returnable item. Best bargain in cables IMO (and many others here agree). | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @lalitk No, thank you! I'm not willing to spend a lot on digital at the moment after buying new speakers and amp in the last 2 months so to end up with a nice sonic upgrade for $130 is indeed a great outcome. |
