| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Thanks for the response Jim.FWIW , unless I inherit cables in gear purchases,I make my own and have been quite happy.I have some friends who changed all their power and IC cables and really felt it made a huge difference but I have yet to be convi... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? jim,Sigh. This is why i stopped posting at rec.audio.high-end. It seems the reductionist camp and the "everything is magic" camp never tire of arguing. Unreliable and being level matched certainly sometimes. People tend not to name what they are h... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list of course, if you'd like to save a lot of money, a dunlavy VI is about the most neutral speaker I have ever heard. I have not heard all the speakers on this list, but the razor sharp quality of them is quite an interesting thing. Some people find ... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list do you like your revel studios? that is a good place to start from if you want suggestions. | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Well, i think it s pretty well documented that DBT's are unreliable themselves. I am the last person to argue in preference of high cost tweaks, but I think neither the DBT or the non-DBT community likes to admit that everyone is a little bit right. | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? I don't think anyone will argue, for instance, that capacitance will affect sound. However, it's not going to cost a lot of money to simply find a lower or higher capacitance cable.Where people start to wonder what is going on is when the cable ma... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? I think that is a great response Mlsstl. Clean power, rf rejection, component matching etc., have so much to do with cables. You can't just stick an expensive cable in somewhere and say it sounds better because you want it to either. If people bet... | |
| new Aja 180 gram vinyl pressing just arrived I know this is a thread for people who like the record, but i have to disagree that it is a well recorded record. It is an influential record ( i think in bad way) in the way it was recorded and it is clean and solid in that 70's way when most peo... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? It seems to me that cable performance is non price hierarchical but rather to do the power in you house and the way your system matches to the wire, RF rejection, etc. | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option We used to make the distinction between ideler or "rim-drive" and direct drive and belt drive. I believe that is still fair. Different solutions for the same problem. | |

| Moving coil transfprmer? SUT's are one thing I like to see measure well. While you have to find one that sounds "good" it's really good to get one that is as neutral as possible because everything else in your system adds so much coloration.Back when I was choosing a step... | |
| How to tell if lp is recorded with phase reversed? You are talking about absolute polarity not phase. Phase,commonly, would be the relationshipo between two microphones or the relationship between two speakers like ones connected improperly. This is easy to hear.Polarity on multi-mic'd recording m... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable As many have said, i think all thne tables are good examples modern TT design working in a musical fashion rather than just modifying or dressing up and old design.I find Thom from Galibier to be the most thorough and unpretentious of people. His ... | |
| Vintage vinyl or new reissues? You simply cannot generalize and say that original pressings sound better than later pressings or vice-versa. Most collectors weould prefer and original, but sometimes it is a non-issue anyway because the original is too hard too find or the reiss... |
