| Z-Sleeve or new digital cable I use a Z-Sleeve on my Valhalla IC's running from DAC to pre. This seemed to have the greatest effect, much more than on digicable to DAC, or pre to amp. But YMMV. Its all a mystery.Neal | |
| Best RCA to mini adapter or RCA to mini cable? I have used a Zu Cable Pivot and it is excellent.Neal | |
| Z-Sleeve or new digital cable The Stealth Sextet is, IMHO, the best or at least among the best digicables out there, and I have tried many of the top ones (Valhalla, PAD Dominus, Siltech, etc.). I also have a Z-Sleeve on my IC's and while it provides an improvement, the Sextet... | |
| which is better speaker cable For speakers like that, you really should move up the cable food chain, as othwerwise you are doing them a disservice. Try PAD Venustas, which I use and enjoy and used are not crazy expensive, or Nordost Valkyrje, which you can pick up at a good p... | |
| Shipping Large Amp across Canadian Border? I bought an expensive pre that was shipped from a member in Canada, and had a heck of a time getting it through Customs. Took weeks and many phone calls.Neal | |
| Harry Pearson's comments regarding ..... The only fluid I have ever used on my CD's is L'Art du Son and it has provided the most dramatic improvement in sound since I had my CEC TL-1X modded by RAM. The sound is fuller, richer, with less of the digital nasties in the high end, with great... | |
| What speaker cables for Krell 300CX. PAD Venustas. I use this with a 300cx and they fleshed out the top end nicely, taking off the nasties. Little to no loss of detail or high-end shimmer. Solved the same problem you have.Neal | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners I have owned an Opal for the past 3 years and don't even think about replacing it. There simply is no "upgrade."Neal | |
| Ipod to Digital Out Monitor Audio website says nothing about iDeck using its own DAC. That said, its a great piece for what it is, and on sale for $160 from original list of $360. Speakers are darn good.Neal | |
| Ipod to Digital Out Interesting re iDeck, because the marketing materials on AudioAdvisor, where I bought an iDeck for my son, says that the iDeck has its own DAC, claimed to be superior to that in the iPod, which processes the digital signal from the iPod and bypass... | |
| Class D Amps - FM reception Thanks, all. Sounds like a headache I can avoid with a traditional SS amp. Perhaps next generation of Class D amps will solve this problem.Neal | |
| Wyetech Opal Tube Rolling Thanks, Rodman. Very illuminating. And yes, I did look at the site you mentioned, which was very informative. I just find all the numbers, letters and brands somewhat dizzying.Neal | |
| Wyetech Opal Tube Rolling Hi Guys,Sorry for the delayed expressions of appreciation for your input. I have done a bit more homework. The tubes I am considering rolling are 4 6SN7 WGTA's in the separate control unit, not the power supply. I do not know the significance of t... | |
| High End Umbilical Cords Thanks to all for your suggestions.Neal | |
| Silversmith Audio--Great service provided for me. Acresverde,If you like the 217 MKII D, you will flip over the 218. It really is a major step forward. I made the move 2 yeaqrs ago and never looked back. I run almost everything through it: transport (XLR connection); DVD player; and satellite rec... |
