| HiDiamond Diamond 3 XLR IC's - Burn-In Time? Hi Lak,Nice to hear from you. Right now, while they have "ripened," the HD's still lean somewhat to the bright side. This may be their character, or simply how they interact with my system, or it may be part of burn-in. It is not a bothersome or i... | |
| HiDiamond Diamond 3 XLR IC's - Burn-In Time? The dealer said minimum 100 hrs burn-in. I probably have 50-60. They are remarkably detailed and natural sounding, great soundstage, but still a bit tilted to highs and I feel like the bass has not yet fully developed. But I certainly do not find ... | |
| VTL 7.5iii Tubes Thanks, all. The Mullards sound good, but I hear some tube rush when there is no signal and I turn the volume up to 1/3. Never had that with 6sn7 tubes. Wonder if they are starting to go, although they sound fine.Thanks for comments. Also am going... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' Surprised no one has mentioned this, but IMHO your room is far too big for the bookshelf speakers you are considering, unless your listening will be near-field. They will simply not put out enough to fill a room that size with quality sound. You w... | |
| HiDiamond Diamond 3 XLR IC's - Burn-In Time? Mikey,Too early to tell. I will answer you when they are burnt in. I will tell you that I use Nordost Valhalla SC's with my Krell 300cx and I do not find them too lively; quite the opposite, I think they are highly simpatico. Have had them for sev... | |
| Bookshelfs budget is $ 2000. Used Spendor SA1, igf yo can find them. Excellent for classical and jazz, very natural and realistic. A very "livable" speaker that has stood the test of time with me.Neal | |

| Opinions...on Digital Cables for Esoteric Gear Have heard many but not all, and have not heard one that bests the Stealth Sextet AES/EBU digicable.Neal | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Yikes! I would have to spend a small fortune on the adapters and then buy another run of HF IC's to make one balanced IC. I think I will stay single-ended.Neal | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I will look into it, Raks. Thanks.Neal | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The only reason I ask is because I just bought a VTL 7.5 III pre and it has optional balanced outputs, which the mfr. recommends. My Krell amp has only balanced inputs and I use adaptors on them. May have to do it on HFC's as well. I have 1E's.Che... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Does anyone know if HF does balanced terminations? I don't see this option on their website?Neal | |
| Nordost Valhalla High Fidelity CT-1 Enhanced. replaced my Valhalla IC's. Even more detail, but without the edge, and more body. These really are what many say they are.Have not heard Valhalla 2's. Still use Valhalla shotgun bi-wire speaker cable and love it.Neal | |
| which preamp Sabai,I thought organic beef was grass-fed, not grain-fed. So you had best take another look at your cables and check on harmonics for antibiotics.Neal | |
| which preamp Enjoy, Sabai. What are you feeding it with? And what cable(s) to and from? In/out cables make an enormous difference.Neal |
