| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? Man, Dfhaleycko, you have said all there is to say, just about. For interconnects I would pay for Speltz's. It is far more sophisticated and stands the test against much more expensive ICs including silver foil. | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Gee thanks Psycicanimal. :) | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? No one hearing my system first can tell me a blind test is necessary for telling for sure the difference of this amp or that amp. I had a two very respected maker amps servicing my speakers, and they both sounded nothing like each other, and neith... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Some stereo systems, because of their components, are more neutral than others. A trained listener is a person who attends live acoustic performances. If the stereo can reproduce a cello and a violin convincingly, then that is a trustworthy indica... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? I have a system consisting of speakers with extreme revealing properties, and a power section that matches it. I can distinctly hear the difference between cables. They go, from transparent as my other gear to real garbage mouths. The hierarchy is... | |
| Post on Speltz Anti-ICs The Anti-Cable ICs have been compared to some pricey silver ribbon connectors and equalled their performance, both stellar. | |
| Output Couling Cap - V-Cap, Sonicap Plat, Duelund? They are cute little things. How much per cap? | |
| Output Couling Cap - V-Cap, Sonicap Plat, Duelund? I have only had experience with two cap changes, all in my mono amps. Originally there was only a single generic bypass cap. My builder, Henry Ho, sent some Theta caps, and instructed me to place them all around. With Thetas in place, the change w... | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp Herman, you discount my admittedly overly simplification, then you make an example of your system where you corroborate my statement. Some active preamps are poorly designed and should be routed around. That should go without saying. I have heard ... | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp Passive for delicate purity, active for dynamic realism. | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Hi David. Our collective systems have greatly evolved since we shared the same X-600.I had independently discovered the serious advantages offered by a good NOS player. The difference between NOS and OS is just as you describe. That wont be so evi... | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Rumadian, you heard the prototype H2O? So did I. If I were to hear that now, I would judge it rather harshly. Maybe that is a bad choice of word. It was anything but harsh. It sounded like a very good class A amp. I bought the third generation of ... | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? in '86 I walked into a local highest end shop. I visited every week, for every week the speaker room show cased one set of speakers only. Almost always the choice front end was a Goldmund turntable, Koetzu cartridge. The amps were Mark Levinson or... | |
| Post on Speltz Anti-ICs Oh yeah, BI2000, you are so right. | |
| Spectron Musician III Signature vs VTL Siegfried? Guidocorona, this guy is a neighbor of mine. He really has gone through a lot of expensive gear. I am going to be trying the Musician in the near future. |
