| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Don’t overthink or obsess. Set up and connect the system. Stable support for the electronics. Do some reading about the Forte IV and take your time to decide the positioning for best sound. Enjoy your favorite music. Hopefully, it sounds great ... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Most articles from cable designers that I have read indicate that power transmission cables, such as speaker cables and power cords, benefit from low resistance and low inductance designs, with low resistance being most important. Of course, lowe... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @tvrgeek So don't tell me crystal orientation in 10 feet of cable, though measurable, makes a sonic difference...But geometry and dielectric can. When evaluating ancillary audio stuff, from cables, to fuses, to small add-on in-line digital bo... | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun @larsman - I agree they have become more like jewelry and I know some still wear them regularly, just like suits and ties, but times have indeed changed thanks to computers and Covid. I used to wear ties 3-4 times/week and I cannot remember the la... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! White paper... geez, are you really going to bust his balls for providing his recollection of historical cable comparisons? At least he provided some level of context. | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun Watches are cool, but unfortunately have gone the way of the phonebook, typewriters, and the CRT television. I do not have a Rolex 2-tone Daytona, but I do have a nice automatic watch and send it in every few years for a $300 cleaning, etc. I sel... | |
| A video for everybody @tvrgeek I assume this is the video you are referring to? FYI - you can embed links in your posts using the “link” icon on the toolbar at the top of the posting screen. | |
| Mains Power Cable DIY @normb The mc cable would be excellent from the breaker to the wall outlets at your system, and maybe better than Romex due to the shielding. I have never used the Black Mamba PC but I do have a pair of 2M Oyaide Tunami v2 cords (10awg+) here f... | |
| Mains Power Cable DIY I suspect the fire alarm cable sounds good but, why stop there? The mc cable shown below has three 10awg connectors (H/N/G) and a metal casing that can be connected at the source end for shielding. Unfortunately, solid core wire has poor flexi... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Larkin Poe | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! I don't think many users here are interested in submitting blind test results au contraire - I would enjoy reading the results of controlled blind listening tests involving golden ear'ed listeners comparing popular contenders from the upper, m... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @jeffrey125 I also don’t understand the issue. Since it was in bold, I understood your point was related to BJC’s opinion that low resistance is the main factor affecting speaker cables and that the best way to get there is to increase the wire ... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? A shielded power cable of sufficient gauge for the amperage involved should be suitable. But, if you have extra "audiophile approved" cables laying around then, why not? Better yet, if you have both then try each and listen for differences. Once... | |
