| I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday Who'd thought we've come to the age of weaponized drivers? | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? dynaquest4, I agree that there is a point where a well made cord can't be made any better, but only as long as it stays within the criteria of the original cord that is said to be all one needs. It doesn't really solve the dilemma. As for all thos... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Benjie, I like, and have used, your TV analogy as it clearly demonstrates the obvious: a better made cable can have an improvement. Going from a well made, run of the mill, PC on my TV (a GTT PC) to a Zu Mission PC made a HUGE difference on my pla... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I don't recall being that impressed (to put it kindly) with McIntosh gear regarding their status as high end, resolving gear. They do have the looks and their laurels to rest on to further their product line but aside from that.....The point is th... | |
| Another discrete R2R Ladder Multibit Dac, this ones from Audio GD, their coming on strong. Here's a better link. | |
| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better tomcy6,Truer words have not been spoken. The crap we get from the major record labels leave a lot to be desired. I mentioned on a different thread of listening to a well recorded 16 bit CD of a jazz band, done by Tony Manasian and it laid to rest ... | |
| Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia? I just googled Russian importation and general mail service and it may take months for your package to arrive once it reaches Russia. They are horribly understaffed and underpaid. One of the major worldwide shippers, EMS, will only refer you to th... | |
| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better I'm as guilty as the next guy when it comes to snap judgements, only to discover I was wrong. What motivated me last time was the urge/need to recapture some of the airiness and extension of the treble I lost when I sold my old speakers. The new o... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? The cables I have span a small amount from around $100 to just over $500, including the discounts for discontinued lines. I have solid core copper, solid core silver, silver plated copper, stranded and tinned stranded, Litz, most with termination... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Maybe the conversation (debate?) should lessen the price delta between beer pocket magnet wire and champagne filigree cables to something more sensible. There will always be an argument for doing things on the cheap and those who are advocates of ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I like that you recommend using a good quality drum recording. I have a recording of Tony Manaisian's that's an extremely well done 16 bit demo using no equalization that does exactly what you describe. It's a jazz combo with lots of percussion t... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? It's not so much being tricked but rather rising to the occasion. To let B.S. pass without comment serves only to reinforce it. Happy New Year everyone!Nonoise | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Since it's too late to edit my post, I'd like to correct the gauge of the Tempo Electric speaker wire. It's actually 14 gauge wire in a 9 gauge jacket.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Kraftsound, thanks for the leveling this thread dearly needed. One point you made re: "stability of amp dependent on the impedance of the load" has been made before and should be used in every thread on cables. Not every cable can fulfill the need... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I'm always amazed at what lengths people go to prove their hearing is sub par. |
