| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I bought 50ft of 22ga solid core wire from Tajacobs.Jetrexpro, that is the same wire I would like to try but I need to finish the Belden ICs yet. When you finish your ICs with the 22awg solid wire, let us know what you think. Am I the only one her... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price It beats experimenting with expensive wire :~)I have some connectors I need to use anyway. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I agree Jetrexpro. For you guys making ICs, have you considered trying some of the WE tinned solid core wire in cotton using something in the 22-24awg range with either one or two conductors...or a braid. 22-24 awg solid core wire has proven prett... | |
| Sell a speaker you like but CANNOT optimize sound? Once I realized (after several years) that, although the speakers were pretty good speakers, they would never sound how I wanted them to, with the SS amplification I was using, and when I decided to look at speakers that fit my listening tastes an... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Quad runs of WE16 and WE14 continue to break-in and hit their stride over here. They are a bargain and very likable because they are musical and commit no fatal flaws. I find them "mellow" in the HF but natural, even if they are not as "pristinely... | |
| Sell a speaker you like but CANNOT optimize sound? Earlier Alon model, they really worked best with tubes but they were low'ish efficiency and I didn't want to run high powered tube amps. Just couldn't make them sound right with SS amps. | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Oddiofyl, you and a couple of others here have mentioned how much you like McCormack amps so I gotta add that, if you liked the stock amps, you really should hear the upgraded versions by Steve McCormack at SMc Audio. In the past five years, I hav... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob, you may be right about the construction, although I doubt it because the wires I have connecting my mid and high frequencies are the WE 16 awg from tajacobs. Doubling the runs and cross-connecting lowers inductance but in my experience do... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price There is certainly something about this wire since so many like it. However, those of us with resolving systems mostly find that, when compared to other good wire, the WE wire doesn't offer the same level of resolution. This doesn't surprise me si... | |
| Music Servers You have a top DAC and an expensive system. Check into loaners so you can hear them for yourself, with your components, before making your selection. Make sure each has the features you want (e.g., internal storage vs. NAS, ripping capability or n... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price These are all supposed to be 30 awg tinned copper wires with the aggregate gauge determined by how many wires are bundled together. From what I can find in a quick search, I believe this is C11000, also known as Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) copp... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I agree that some brands display very high construction quality but my question remains, "is the price justified relative to the level of sonic improvement provided by using uber-expensive cables?" I do hear sonic differences between cables, and I... | |
| Best Preamp under 10K My McCormack TLC-1 that was completely rebuilt by Steve McCormack at SMc Audio (see pics in my virtual system) is easily the best I have heard out of around 20 top contenders in the $4-$10K price range. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Do you think other companies are going to sit back and let them rule the roost?I think that horse has already fled the barn and is into the next county. Sure, some companies offer their own cables (another is Ayre who offers cables constructed by ... | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? I suspect Devilboy meant to say is, "Yes, it is ok to use different power cords in the same system."With all the different factors that make up an audio system, including parts from many different manufacturers, feet and feet of transformer wire, ... |
