| Review: Dakiom A103 and R103 Tweak Addendum/CORRECTION:Interconnects from preamp to equalizer and from equalizer to amplifier are actually Audioquest COPPERHEADS, not Diamondbacks. | |
| Bi-wire Cable Choices?... Quadophile,I was very satisfied with the Canares. I tried the Mas Signature Hybrid cables and these are even better, by a considerable margin, imo. There is a substantial price difference; the Canares are a great bargain, and imo you can't go wron... | |
| Bi-wire Cable Choices?... Tvad, I just hooked up the MAS signatures in a true bi-wire configuration and compared them to the Canares in the same configuration. In both cases, I left the Dakiom feedback stabilizers on. The Canares sounded great! The MAS Signatures sounded e... | |
| Bi-wire Cable Choices?... Thank you. I've read another post asserting that there's no benefit to bi-wiring as described above because the separated leads bridge back together at the speakers' binding posts if those posts are mounted on a metal plate. Supposedly, the biwiri... | |
| Review: Dakiom A103 and R103 Tweak Rpatrick,I'll take your word on that one. For now, it's going to stay at room temperature. | |
| Bi-wire Cable Choices?... Tvad,It's about 10 feet or so. I have these with two leads at the amplifier end and four leads at each speaker end. I'm so ignorant about this issue that I don't even know whether such a configuration constitutes "bi-wiring" or not. | |
| Bi-wire Cable Choices?... Tvad, that's interesting. The local dealer is touting the Audioquest CV-6. Those would be about 400 bucks. How much are the MAS Signature Hybrid speaker cables? Do you know anything about the CV-6? Also, (if you have the time and patience) can you... | |
| Bi-wire Cable Choices?... Sorry, one other thing to add about the 4S11 by Canare: they seem to deliver excellent bass, which was improved (in my system, mind you) even more with Dakiom feedback stabilizers. (Those are an entire topic unto themselves; people have varying ex... | |
| Bi-wire Cable Choices?... I own Canare Star Quad 4S11 too!! I never really compared them to anything else. They seem pretty good to me. | |
| Review: Dakiom A103 and R103 Tweak Tvad, it IS remarkable that they vary (or are perceived to vary) so much in their sonic attributes among various systems. Given all the different equipment designs and musical tastes, it doesn't necessarily surprise me. Your points about "objectiv... | |
| Review: Dakiom A103 and R103 Tweak The listening experience is a subjective one, to be sure. In my system, with Paradigm Monitor 100 V3's and their metal dome tweeters plus solid state amp and preamp, the highs didn't seem rolled off but were tamed--but still more detailed and swee... |
