Musiclink cables sound better reversed
Never tried reversing mine, BUT I’ve been using the RC 1590 and RB for a couple of months and love them. What’s been your experience?Call Bob in Saco at Transparent. He will answer your questions.

Please go back and read for content, and your response otherwise begs the question. The new cables and interconnects are from Transparent and Cardas, and are system wide. Your assumption is mistaken as the condition remained after all cabling was ...

I have only a wife, who hears it, too. When I play one channel, it is in the center of the speaker. Playing both channels, it is more or less centered between them. A sympathetic vibration would not appear to move, but would be an unmoving point s...

To reiterate, the condition has remained the same despite total and complete changes in the preamp, amp, CD player, speaker cables and interconnects, hence my opinion that a component in each speaker “unit” is defectively designed or fabricated (e...

Thanks, Dr.My last email to KEF (the reference is to recordings I sent):“Thanks. Were you able to hear the sound?Since my last email, I did substitute the new uni q you sent for the old one: the result is the same, if not slightly worse. The effec...
