| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? 3. roxy54 I came here with no conception of "fake cables!" The "shame" here should be upon those who flared at me for asking a civil question. I can't believe anyone is this thick. This must be a hoax. | |
| Power cable for AQ Niagara 5000 @cjlundberg thread is almost 4 months old- what did the OP end up doing? | |
| Tube amps under $7500 I wished I would had listened years ago when someone suggested to me MCintosh ,ARC or CJ as a preamp. I kiss a lot of frogs on my journey.Listen to the words of wisdom @ghdprentice he is like the good cool uncle at the bbq .One of my bigges... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? @ristrettox6 The Blue Heaven cables were $29 here= https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804265444804.html?src=google&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa Yeah, those are not Nordost Blue Heaven cables. But hey, let us know if they sound better than you... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I would also wager that any guy walking off the street to hear your rig is not some trained listener and golden ear bat...Sounds like poor quality test subjects to me. @deep_333 For what its worth, this poor quality subject has just acquired ... | |
| Dedicated mains supply unexpected result Aluminum is for cans! Copper is for electrical wire and pennies. Not so, they are using aluminum cables for distribution lines and connections from the street to the houses, at least where I live in BC. And there isn’t much copper in pennies th... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @audphile1 uh, look up ^ 😉 | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Well, I went to the OP’s place yesterday and listened to his system. Thank you Dave for allowing me to do this and also making me an espresso from your own home-roasted beans. Turns out we both have similar hobbies- a love for audio and coffee. Th... | |
| Mad Scientist Audio Speaker Cable I have read some really good things about this company from down under, and they have been making some quality cables for some time, I haven’t yet tried any myself but read plenty of good reviews. Having said that I think Huff says whatever will ... | |
| SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT @jasbirnandra Honestly I think @geauxaudio gave you the best answer you could hope to find. As he suggested contact Colin at Gestalt for his opinion on the matter. If you get 20 more responses here and half say IC's and half say speaker cables h... | |
| SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT @jc51373 so I returned it..Not before he gave me a hard time, and then tried to charge me a restock fee and charge me for return shipping. Your expectation for in home trials is that the distributor or manufacturer should pay for all shippi... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @serblinfan But a friend of mine has a system based on vintage Tannoys, he tried hard to upgrade his system with upmarket cables - all in vain, so perhaps it is system dependent.... Hmm, I happen to know a fellow here @lalitk with Tannoys wh... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords As it turns out the OP and I live nearby, relatively speaking. I am going over to visit his nice hi fi room this weekend with some of my equipment. We will swap around some gear and some cables and see what our ears tell us. Stay tuned. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda Ha, it takes no courage to anonymously discuss an experience with strangers. Audphile1 began a little rough but came around and offered some helpful info in the end. I appreciate comments from all, those who agree with me and those who d... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda The front edge of the speaker is 4' from the wall. I've tried other positions and this was the best for me. There is a 7" monster bass trap behind each speaker and a 17" square soffit trap in the corner. The soundstage is great. When y... |
