| KEF R3 Meta's - too much for my Marantz Model 30? @kokakolia that's good advice. My dealer carries the Marantz Model 30 so would save me from lugging my own to the store 😊 I was just worried about wasting their/my time if the Marantz struggles with the R3 Meta's. After I posted this thread, I've... | |
| Inakoustik cables - where to buy Hi, Not sure if this will be helpful; I'm in the UK but purchased mine from an online retailer kableworld24 in Germany via the big online auction site. They are official sellers for Inakustic, totally legit. Maybe contact to see if they'll ship t... | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? I concur with Soix; my fear was that the LavriCables would be cool, lean, harsh, which are not qualities I enjoy at all, but this couldn't be further from the truth in my experience. You guys are a bad influence, I have the urge to explore deepe... | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? +1 @soix I use the Lavri Grand RCA interconnects between DAC and amp. Lovely, clear, purity of tone. I'd like to experiment more with Lavri to be honest. I would like to try their power cords, especially on my amp, but they don't do UK mains plu... | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? @jambaj0e I went with gold; I wanted a little warmth also 👍 I found Nawaz great to deal with by the way, he has a genuine passion for what he does. When I ordered the 6:6 speaker cables, he'd ust changed the design of the splitters to speaker; ... | |
| Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp? Hi @jambaj0e I don't have experience with TWL cables, but I have been using the NRG Custom - The 5 on a Class A/B SS amp, and a Class D amp, and it's smaller, thinner sibling the .1 on my DAC. I also have their speaker cables - the 6:6. In my e... | |
| Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences Thanks @digsmithd @audphile1 I've had my system playing while working upstairs, for between 15-17 hrs a day since installing the cable, so I have a ways to go yet then 😊. All part of the journey/fun 😉 | |
| Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences Thanks for this thread, really informative 👍; I took delivery of my first Furutech cable last Friday - FP-TCS31 with FI-1363-NI Gold (UK) , and FI-31 Gold IEC, to feed my Puritan PSM156 from the wall. My observations match @ryder 's; over the las... | |
| Any Dealings With This Company? I'm in the UK; it seems odd to me. I have never come across this company previously - I google Hifi gear a lot and this company I've never noticed in Google searches. Which is strange If you were a company selling such items you'd think you'd str... | |
| Furutech FP-TCS31 With FI-28 (R) Better than Virtual Dynamics Nite II Cord? Please Help @ryder I'm currently having a similar experience with the FP-TCS31 but with different/gold terminations. Took delivery yesterday, have around 24hrs play through so far, but similar observations as you. Look forward to the end result 😊👍 | |
| Denafrips Pontus II FPGA firmware upgrade 2023 Hi guys, Quick question; my order with my distributor here in the UK will be made tomorrow for the Pontus II 12th - will this be shipped with FW 1.4? Thanks 👍 | |
| How rare is an audiophile In my teens and through my 20s, my circle of friends and wider social circle were all crazy about music; it was everything to us. We horded/collected music, always looking for new music to wow us. We all also played in bands and/or were singer son... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component My room. Whilst I'm grateful ful I have a dedicated room, I know it is too small for what I want to achieve, so I have to live with compromise despite room treatments | |
| The weirdness of it all @bugredmachine What did you make of the NRG Custom Cables - the "5"? These are not widely spoken of, but they were a welcome addition to my modest system, plus they are reasonably priced, and Nawaz is a joy to do business with I have this fee... |
