| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic You are there: very expansive soundstage, feels like you can visualize the recording space. First speaker example that comes to mind is DeVore.They are here: forward presentation, very solid, focused images, such that the performer feels physicall... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic Interesting views, here’s a user comment I found for instance on SST Sistrum platforms and racks:“It feels as though the window into the music is even more clear, that a film has been stripped away making the illusion of actual musicians in the ro... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic @Millercarbon - thanks for your definition. However, it seems that there are two camps that still prefer one or the other. Like people choosing to build a setup aimed at the “they are here” sound over “you are there”, maybe rightly so as you said ... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? There is no strange voodoo happening with cables moving. 1) changing antenna effect (rfi) 2) induction by magnetism off other cables (emi) 3) picked up leakage current from other cables. 4) dielectric absorption can change for a little ... | |
| Power Cable Comparison Anyone here? | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech @michelzay The cable will probably be at least NRG 4 or maybe 3 x NRG 1.5 (psc+) in an own design, who knows. It will be Audioquest at least (or in some cases Kimber PK10). My PC will always be full copper, never silver (maybe only for the ground ... | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech @michelzay Thanks for your suggestions.How do the Iego 8085 ac gold plug compare to the Neotech OCC ac gold plug?Do you have any better suggestions than the above as AC plug?What is the best IEC plug in your opinion?Have you tried any of the Oyaid... | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech @michelzay Thanks for sharing that.To give some more information about my project:The cabling will be Audioquest psc+ copper. It is multiple wires/ strands of solidcore, to have the best from both basically.I have noticed that resonance control ha... | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech Here are my ideas:• Iego 8095 ac (silver, rho) and Neotech nc-p303 iec (occ, gold)• Iego 8095 ac (silver, rho) and Neotech nc-p302 iec (occ, rho)• Oyaide M1 ac (b.copper, pal) and Neotech nc-p303 iec (occ, gold)/ or Iego 8085 (cop. gold)• Oyaide M... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Thanks for the input above.Here’s some more info on the existing geometry and gauge of Audioquest nrg4:http://www.elusivedisc.com/images/aq-pcnrg4inset.jpghttps://i.pinimg.com/originals/d2/79/bc/d279bc65cc3be29b315bf596488572f7.jpgGauge: 14 AWG ag... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2) @minimus"From what I understand each of the three conductor bundels in the new design has its own unique geometry. Through testing and “trial and error” Audioquest has learned certain geometries work better for positive for example vs the negative... | |
| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? "yeah, the total cable is 16awg, but it uses 2 x 19awg conductors for each leg."the site says 2 x 16awgso does that mean 2 poles and in total 16 awg?I read it as 2 times 16awg, so 1 x 16awg conductors for each leg?This is what I found on another s... | |
| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? The people at AQ replied me again of using NRG1.5 cable and not speakercable:"Alasdair Patrick Apatrick@audioquest.com Yes, if you wish."The cable is 2 x 16awg, not 19awg.The other problem is that the sleeve of the nrg1.5 is quite thick.Is there a... | |
| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? Can anyone give me a definite answer if the nrg1.5 can be used as a DC cable when changing the plugs?Please have a look at the materials and construction.How would they be any different from stock DC cables?I am about to buy. | |
| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? Hi guys! Thanks for the answers here! Alistair at Audioquest replied my email and he highly recommended me to NOT use the type4 or cv4 cable as a dc power cable.He said that: "It’s not recommend to use these speaker cables as power cables due to t... |
