| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers I have always loved SF’s take on what music sounds like. Who knows better than the Italians? And one of the most real sounding speakers I have heard were Rockports. | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects Search “Silversmith Fidelium” on the Forum. You will see that Pretty much everyone who bought them say the same things. That they are the best they have used. I replaced very fine $6K speaker cables that are now relatively junk in comparison. For ... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Glad to see how many speak of Oyaide R1s. I bought 2 for my soon to be dedicated AC line. I also got 2 very thick non ferrous faceplates. The R1s and faceplates were about $600 each. And on the recommendation of Joe at the Lotus Group, 50’ of the ... | |
| Vinyl Repair? This is probably a topic for a new thread… I have run out of vertical LP storage and have many records now horizontally. Have always known that this will warp records. How accurate is this? | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? I have a big investment in my front end. But the most significant improvement came when I added another $10K to my $3K cartridge. (Analog only system-Lyra Atlas SL) Granted, the rest of my system was up to the level of the Lyra. It pulled so much... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 No Q45T yet. But Rick has been communicating by text a lot this week and he was clear that he has made a new, more potent batch of Q45T and mine was now shipped. I am confident that I will receive it within a few days. Will certainly report when i... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? $$ are not as significant as sound signature of a speaker. Also, specifically, what a speaker is capable of delivering. For example, a nice pair of ESS Quad 57s at around $6K are a destination speaker for many. Or a pair of excellent $7K monitor... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Can anyone confirm my lay understanding that Zobel Networks do, in fact, have a significant, if not great, effect on the SQ when applied correctly to a speaker? AKA, “Deulund-Mundorf Ultra Speaker Purifiers” sold on AG. https://en.wikipedia.or... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Without direct, personal experience, I am super impressed with the Kronos TT. The counterrotating “platter” under has been said to be the only true innovation in T T design in many years. Seems logical that the precision and stability of rotation... | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? I have 4. Main system, office, living room and bathroom. Main is analog only. Office is digital only. Living room Tube CD player with 3 pair of hand me down speakers. And bathroom is a very cool Meridian F80 Ferrari designed Radio/CD. Office is ... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? I think this heat issue may effect high frequencies most. And it may be that the AG sold, “Deulund-Mundorf Ultra Speaker Purifiers” could be the solution to the heat issue. After 100++ hours of breakin they have had a profound effect on the sound... | |
| Power Cables and Wall Sockets @ghdprentice Hearing your system was spectacular! Thank you. Even though hard to quantify, I believe a major difference between your system and mine was how “present” yours was. I attributed this to your dedicated AC lines. Inspired, I have se... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I was concerned until I texted Rick and was answered right away. Have no doubt that I will receive my Q45T this week. Sent a screen shot of my PayPal invoice and he responded “Perfect, will ship in 1-2 days.”. | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I expect to receive my NPS Q45T this coming week. Communications have been good and normal. Have been quite anxious to try the Q45T since the results with just my fuses and phono cable treated with the original NPS 1260 has been nothing short of... | |
| Low Level Listening and Distortion I had JBL Century 100 s. Looks like many also had them in the early ‘70s. Miss those college days and cranking the JBLs! |
