| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper @petg60 - I’d suggesting reading these design papers. https://www.iconoclastcable.com/story/index.htm | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC @jetter - Toslink has less bandwidth, so can eliminate high resolution files as being an option. The other factor is that using a Toslink required to additional conversions from electrical to light and back. I’ve not really made an effort to com... | |
| need amp recommendations for more separation of instruments I have no way to know how your setup sounds compared to mine, but we have a few things in common. My setup is a Pathos Classic One Mkiii (similar price point to your NAD) and I have Focal 836v speakers. I also had the opportunity to audition m... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @rbertalotto - Is the question how good speakers need to be to be enjoyed or how good the audiophile expects them to be? I think your experience is partly a result of expectation bias because you expected that the new amplifier would be an improv... | |
| Break-in Time @rvpiano - I think getting into the music more is a general result as your system is improved. In this case it was cables that seemed to be responsible for the improvement in sound quality. For me, it was rolling some Mullard tubes in my Pathi... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... As I mentioned before, I am very happy with my Morrow Audio MA4 XLR interconnects. I am sometimes surprised that I got past the marketing as it definitely rubs me the wrong way, but I decided to take the chance because the SSI concept makes sense... | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... I recently purchased a Morrow Audio MA4 XLR cable and emailed Mike Morrow with some “critiques” along the same lines as the OP mentions. They have chosen to take the approach of customer like “sales” and seemingly have a successful business using... | |
| Micca 14 Gauge Pure Copper Speaker Wire I am lining my two sets to a friend that has his speakers biwired, so he can put some hours on them for me. It’ll be interesting to see what his experience is since he’s currently using 14awg of a basic variety. | |
| Micca 14 Gauge Pure Copper Speaker Wire @dekay - I didn’t think they sounded bad, just not to my taste. I can’t imagine that they would change characteristics after an extended burn-in. I will be loaning them to a friend that’s currently using 14awg, so it’ll be interesting to see h... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? In the last couple of weeks I tried set of Micca 14 cables after reading great reviews of them with some comparing them to $1,000 cables in their systems. I spent about $60 on two 6’ sets because I have a switch in my cables to support my home th... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @anotherbob - I think the OP was simply sharing that when he thought he was listening to one setup it actually turned out to be another one that he wouldn’t have expected to be as good and it “lesser” combination compelled him to enjoy the music. ... | |
| A Cool Opportunity to Help Update: Here’s excerpts from an email that I received tonight: I know it seems like forever since the wonderful package arrived, but it is installed and playing right now. To tell you how much superior it is to our $32 special DVD player we ... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options @maxima95 - I think my experience aligns with yours. Smooth sounding with virtually no glare, but I feel like some of the details are not quite the same as with my BJC 10AWG cables. I think I’d agree that there’s less detail in the bass as well. | |
| Morrow Audio 1m MA4 Balanced Interconnect @leorousseau - The missing parts was that I can't imagine that a Cardas Parsec wouldn't do an excellent job based solely on it's price point. I guess it depends on how much your willing to spend. I have an Audioquest Cinnamon and was thinking th... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options The Micca 14 cables are in my system and have replaced my BJC 10 AWG cables for now. They are probably in the 30-40 hour range. I’m really torn about how they make me feel, but honestly cannot definitely describe how they sound in comparison. ... |
