| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @williewonka Not that you need any validation but Roger Skoff has long argued that cables are just another form of capacitors, though not intended to work that way.https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/capacitors-speakers-cables-and-other-... | |
| Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon Oh, for the good old days when I was someone. Crapping one's thoughts into the internet void does not make one relevant.Some of us do need to go gently, into that good night.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Speaker Cables @jjss49 I have no experience in rewiring a speaker and would follow deconny's advice. Both my Tonian Labs TL-D1 and Clearwave Duet 6 speakers were internally wired with Supra and they sounded great.It's just with speaker cables that I eventually p... | |
| Speaker Cables That Kharma tinned copper wire looks like it's made the same way that Supra wire is. I've tried a couple of Supra's cables and they have that nice, warmish, rounded off sound that's pleasant but not accurate, revealing and life like, to my ears.Be... | |
| Speaker Cables AQ Rocket 44 are what I'm seriously looking at, at the moment. Going to Audio Advisor and having them terminate them saves over $200.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Best way to wipe off the dust cleaning the gear If one can get sheep to mow a lawn, there's gotta be a way to get the critters in my place to earn their keep. | |
| Speaker Cables Your comparison of OFC vs OCC just got me going again after I decided to let sleeping dogs lie. Why'd you have to go and do that? 😄All the best,Nonoise | |
| Speaker Cables @decooney ,Thanks for getting back with that about OCC, which is what I have in my main, 10GA stranded silver SCs. The more I think about it, the moreI feel I should just keep that one great SC and either leave it alone as is, with the other 16GA ... | |

| Can 2-channel be improved by using subtle surround Eno style? Third channel audio has been around for a long time as a possibility. Nowadays, proper cabling and tweaking can get at all those details and missing info, or at least I've been able to. Been in this hobby as an nothing more than an amateur for ove... | |

| Speaker Cables @stereo5 ,Thanks for the feedback. I'm lucky in that my room is much smaller than yours so bass reinforcement keeps me from using a sub. That's a lot of time and pain you went through to get your desired set up.What you say about freeing up the sp... | |
| Speaker Cables I just saw a photo on some site where someone just used a solid silver length of wire in place of the jumper plates on the advice of some cable maker and loved the results. The jumpers I removed were silver plated copper and using pure silver cabl... | |
| Speaker Cables @stereo5 Your thoughts on the Canare piqued my interest. I noticed that your office setup uses JBL L100 and I have the 4319, which are a close cousin.I get all the bass I need from them and would like to know if you got the sub after going with th... | |
| Speaker Cables Hmm, all these votes for Canare and all of my experience with stranded copper cables were fine, at first, until I happened upon stranded and solid silver cables. Stranded copper has always smeared the sound a bit too much for my liking. It has a v... |
