| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? It's pretty funny reading some comments on here. My really good friend has MBL speakers upstairs and Raidho downstairs. We've changed cables, including power cords and it's easy to hear the changes on both systems. | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). I talked to Audioquest, per their technical support there aren't any changes to the current Hurricane. They are looking into the possibility of a Hurricane source power cord in the distant future, if it materializes at all. | |
| YG Acoustics, Raihdo? In the right room I would take Raidho over many speakers, including Magico. Raidho's have an uncanny ability to sound detailed and warm at the same time. | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). I had the Audioquest 1000 and Torus RM15 at the same time. All systems are different, but I suggest you try to get a hold of the RM15 and try it in your system. I did sell my RM15 and now have the Torus RM20. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? mitch2,I hear a little sarcasm in your comments. I had Wireworld Platinum XLR cables and compared them to Audioquest Fire. There is a clear difference between the two. Wireworld is a neutral cable in my system. The Audioquest Fire is a more forwa... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? "We" make audio to complicated. It's actually pretty simple...if you hear a difference with cables that you prefer than purchase them. If you don't hear a difference or you hear a difference that's not to your liking, don't purchase them. Audio i... | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS FedEx isn't perfect, but I stop using UPS 10 years ago after a problem with one of their stores. I've developed a very good relationship with my local FedEx employees. They consistently go out if their way to assist me. | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? Every system and everyone's hearing is different. I've owned the PS Audio Directstream, Bricasti M1, Jeff Rowland Aeris, and now the Chord Dave. I didn't prefer any of them direct. To my ears everything sounds better with a preamp inserted in the... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 I had Aerial 7Ts for over a year and listened to A3s on two different occasions. Speakers are about preferences. To my ears the A3s are at the next level of detail, openness, and realism. Not night and day, but next level none-the-less. | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Elizabeth,They are horribly stiff and I submit their stiffness will prevent more than a few sales. I should have called Audioquest first. Their customers service said, "they may come out with a source version", but nothing anytime soon. | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). It's my understanding that they're coming out with a new Hurricane. I don't know what they've changed, but it's supposed to be different from the original release. | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I listened to the A3s on two different occasions. The first time was at a show and the sound was lifeless. The second time was in a dealer's showroom. They sounded like different speakers, detailed and very open. I submit Magico's are some of the ... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 Please describe the differences between the Salon 2s and Blade 2s regarding space between instruments, the soundstage, imaging, tonality, and dynamics. | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). ctsooner,I concur with your comments. I've tried several different power cords in my system with good results, but I prefer the Hurricane to all of them. My friend had the Hurricane and Dragon. He said, "it isn't a night and day difference, but if... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? No "best/absolutes" in audio, only preferences. It's about your ear and what type of sound you prefer. |
