| New cable from TG Audio Ken, I haven't updated any I-Squared cords to the 688 and you are probably better off leaving well enough alone unless you want me to keep the cord for a month to break it in and do any necessary revoicing.....20a IEC, right angle (for Levinson) a... | |
| New cable from TG Audio Gee, I heard pretty much the same thing :-) The 688 comes from Olin 688 alloy brass that the custom connectors are made from....The HSR-I has been around for almost eight years and the HSR-A over six years and the Gen II versions of each for a cou... | |
| Anyone tried Kharma cable,suppose to be the best ? We'll see which one plays the loudest, but we will have over a horsepower total with the new mono amps.....Like last year there will be a small party of all the audio journalists from the paper and emags.....Stephaen Harrel of TAS wanted Curl to t... | |
| Anyone tried Kharma cable,suppose to be the best ? Hey Mike! I agree with Fred too as he sold off that Valhalla speaker wire and is using some cheap ass speaker wire made in Texas by real Texans on his new Acapella Campaniles......I stopped worrying about what was "best" years ago and just build w... | |
| Anyone tried Kharma cable,suppose to be the best ? I haven't heard the Rockport Miro speakers yet, but Andy Payor says they are better than the Syzygy model he and I have been using for a decade as our reference.....Just received my JC-1 production amps ten days ago and they are already amazing an... | |
| Anyone tried Kharma cable,suppose to be the best ? Gee, I'll even host the A-B at the CES of these speaker cables and will be in room 1302 of the Alexis Park using a Rockport table, CTC Blowtorch preamp, CTC/Parasound JC-1 amps driving Rockport speakers.....I really want to hear how much better th... | |
| What's better 100w class a or 200w class ab? I would go for 200w class AB as long as you have at least 8-10w Class A....If the 200w amp has less than that it will likely sound bright after it blasts through the class A region and say a female vocalist is screaming away at the top of her lung... | |
| Cable directionality Cable directionality is one of those things that is very easy to hear and very difficult to measure to the Hard Line Objectivists (HLO) satisfaction as the differences are buried in the noise and couldn't matter anyway....Ben Duncan heard the diff... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Sean, the quote is all wire is crap, but some are less crappy than others....I don't try for state of the art, but a very good reference with all my wires. I am happy with their performance and that is all that matters.....Regarding state of the a... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Spend your dollars on better gear before you think about better wires.....10% of the cost of the system will get you down the road just fine for wires.....There sure seem to be a lot of folks out there that have 15K in their systems with 1/3 of th... | |
| Solidstate substitute for Bat Vk75se? Add the new JC-1 by Parasound to your list of things to listen to....Specs are very good at 400w/130a current/damping >1,000/122dB S/N/50K input impedance....Big monos....If you don't like the sound then I am the guy to blame as they hired me t... | |
| Best Phono stage for a .3 mv Ruby 2 ? Albert, I think everyone here knows what I do for a living as well as my warped sense of humor.....For those that have never heard of me below are my companies.....Bob CrumpTG Audio/CTC Builders/DDR Mfg | |
| Best Phono stage for a .3 mv Ruby 2 ? Albert, I just restated the facts as they have appeared in print....Power cords make a difference? | |
| Best Phono stage for a .3 mv Ruby 2 ? The Boulder has 47 dB S/N according to Stereophile or is 38 dB noisier than the Vendetta tested by Audio Magazine about fifteen years ago.....Updated units are still available in a full function preamp made to order.....Time marches backwards :-) | |
| Valhalla vs. Audience AU 24 Good for Brian! Nice to see a reviewer tell it like it really is.....I've played with Valhalla and let me say there is at least one other cable besides Audience that blows away the Valhalla speaker wire..... |
