Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable?
Salby, I am using those cables between classe and Thiel 3.6's - I am getting no brightness at all, in fact until recently I was using all silver interconnects and still no brightness. My experience with these cables is the most neutral sound I've ... 
Interconnect length
No difference in sound but in any other application 1/2 meter is really short, I've got 2 sets of 1/2 meter and they worked great in my former configuation but are too short now, money saved now will cost you more later... 
Thiel 3.6 owners - what components are you using?
Turnaround, I've changed a few things since my Feb post (hope the wife doesn't read this) I now use CJ premier 14, MIT 350 ref and 350 shotgun EVO and currently goertz MI 2 speaker cables with greater satisfaction than before... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
What I don't get and never have is why MIT draws such angst and emotion. It's just a hifi component for goodness sake. A big reason I think our hobby is small in numbers is because of such subjective opinions that get shoved down people's throat a... 
I just installed NOS tubes?
I use NOS in my CJ premier 14, I notice a change immediately when I switch out. I go back and forth between stock and NOS. 
Krell and CJ?
Thanks for all the responses, it is a bit of problem since CJ has no balanced outputs and FPB (duh!) only accepts a balanced input. The KAS series sounds like a possibility but would be a risky investment without an audition and I can't say I've h... 
Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs?
Hell yes, I already have. I don't have SACD but the remaster job is good, all the stones remasters are good, especially post ABKCO by Bob Ludwig - Ben, "street fighting man" was recorded on a cassette deck and that was the raw, grungy sound they w... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Carl is extremely knowledgeable, owns an excellent system but he didn't like it if you DISAGREED WITH HIM! I have seen him on the asylum dishing out good advice. Good thread Bundy, MIT will guarantee you 50 responses. MIT is the bomb!!! (that will... 
Krell and CJ?
Thanks Chuck, I know your a CJ man, me too, I really like the premier 14 and want to keep it in the system. I have heard Krell amps in showrooms only, some I liked, some I was run out of the room. But, I heard the 600FBP and it was pretty spectacu... 
Opinions on why this system is uninvolving
I haven't read any posts because there are too many and I'm too lazy, plus some of them are most likely worthless, sorry, I had to say that. If I'm being redundant, I apologize, I would get rid of all conditioners, especially the power wedge and g... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Expensive junk huh, interesting..... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
Sean, Bob is right on with his rec of Joe Abrams, immensely knowledgable about this hobby in general. I just hope newbies on this forum looking for help can differentiate between legitimate advice, and opinions based on personal experience and jus... 
MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em
My 2 cents - I love 'em. I think the opposite is true unklecrusty - the better the components the greater the need for a neutral cable. The 350 SG EVO and 350 reference ic's that I use are incredible. There is no sonic signature that I can pinpoin... 
Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe
I second the classe rec., good match for your speakers, however, your current choice and all recs are solid - you have to decide what floats your boat...good luck! 
Speaker Cable Feet: Suggestions?
I use heavy wrought iron shelf brackets turned upside down, 2 per side, the cable hangs from some of the ornate work, looks pretty cool. It elevates the cable 8 inches off the carpet. I use MIT so the cable is thick, I elevate the network box with...
