| Recommended power cords for Quicksilver V-4 mono @zuesman where did you buy your NEOTECH cables? I can find the main site with some good info, but the dealer network is kind of a dead end, and google did not come up with much. Mostly bulk wire, not sure I want to spend that kind of time and mon... | |
| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. It's suppose to be funny. Have you spent any time with people in their 20's? Sadly, this is what they are like. They hang out in a room, all doing something on their phones, and they don't really talk to each other. They are very "whatever" Thin... | |
| Amp for Vintage Heresy Such wonderful speakers! They are very sensitive, allowing you to discover any bottlenecks in your system. They also sing with low power, but will never have great bass. There are so many mods to the speakers, XO, new drivers, sealing the box, r... | |
| Worth purchasing Accuphase P-300, C-200 and T-100? Interesting, not dynamic. Would say my listing is more grunge, with a double side of blues. Might like what I have more, maybe should keep saving up for McIntosh. | |
| It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You? "Ground Enhancers" on my speakers. Stupid little Litz coil of wire makes a difference. Going to try putting them on my open RCA's on my pre-amp to see if they do the same as what they did for the speakers. | |
| Why did this just happen ? USB uses the internal processor to handle everything. Speed and detail is all put on the processor. This is like when you are moving music files onto an eternal HDD, on an older computer it will be so slow, put on a new computer, the speed is muc... | |
| Which HDMI cable for I2S? Tubulus makes specific I2s cables. I have the Argentus. https://www.tubulus.net/product/tubulus-argentus-i2s-cable/ We are not playing the same game here, over $1000 for a 2m cable! It better be the best out there for that price. My $25 2m ... | |
| Have you noticed as your system improves? When working, and just have it on, it's around 60db, doing some critical listing, 80-90 db. Sometimes, I want the house to shake, to have the neighbors have a listen. 100+ db happens at times, but usually I'm moving around the house wanting to f... | |
| Which HDMI cable for I2S? These are some of my favorite cables, they just work, and do not break the bank. Plus made in the USA. https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/hdmi-cables/hdmi-cable.htm | |
| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? @thelonious527 currently using the same PC on my system with great results. I had the opposite with more openness and soundstage. Maybe plug one component into another outlet, then listen and repeat until you find the component that is causing i... | |
| Amp showing its age? @hickamore it sounds like you just really wanted a new amp. I totally get that. It's none of them, it's a Hitachi, one of the first FET amps, sounds like tubes, it's huge, and is 60lbs. Tested the power caps several months ago, they were all goo... | |
| Amp showing its age? Clean it, get the bias adjusted, and measure the power caps. My amp is 50 years old, still 100% stock inside. | |
| speakers and cables @mswale I have the foam and cork, if I just stuck it together, could that work? Not sure about that stuff. It might be too squishy. The link provided is made for equipment vibration. Like I said, it has worked wonders for me. Really is one of ... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? Most of the time, I'm using 1-2w listing to the radio. If I want to rock out, or make the house vibrate I use around 50-60w this is out of a 200w amp. At 100db (system can do well over 100db without clipping) at 60w, there will be 100+w peaks. Si... | |
| speakers and cables @mswale yes it’s like an animal farm, the more you have, the more it continues to cost. Kind of like when I walk into a rich person’s house, my first thought "nice but I would not want to pay the utility bills!" Since you sound like a vibratio... |
