| Audioquest vs. Others "I just bought some new SR power cables. I seem to be falling down the SR rabbit hole."Stevenday_ I have also added a few Synergistic power cables. But so far, I have found them best on source components. Their powered component bases give a simi... | |
| Best Shunyata Power Cord for.,, " 4425 OP"Just got them but no doubt they present a refined sound with a little too much bass at first but I expect that to change. Being a little(?) flaky I purchased an AQ Hurricane thinking it was just a must for the AQ 7000 conditioner. There... | |
| Biggest difference between Audioquest power cables against Shunyata power cables? A cord getting hot, or even warm is from the IEC metal contacts not having enough tension. I have found many through the years, mostly audiophile connectors from Furutech and Kimber. Those companies have the connector disassembled, for plating the... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? Here is why buying these high priced outlets is not good. It gives the owners free money and intices others (like Audioquest) to do a similar advertisement and sales tactic. I have a few of the earlier ones, Oyaide, Teslaplex, Cruz first, Furutech... | |
| Power conditioner or outlet? QUOTE :easola01 OP142 posts10-05-2018 1:48pmVair68robert.....wow, complicated! For me at least. I don't understand all of that, you have obviously invested a great deal of research in coming up with all this. What I think I do understand is I shou... | |
| Amplifier and Digital Streamer on Single 15A Circuit? I like tomic601's advise of checking connections.Besides that a balanced transformer in the power cord, such as the one Core Power makes may be excellent on the streamer, and it will isolate.For the amp, a heavy duty outlet such as Hubble is neces... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? That is a poor question because some manufacturers do state some measurements.What measurements are you looking for ? The trouble is no set of measurements directly tells the consumer how well the cable will sound. Especially since there are thous... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? How much profit do you believe they are making ? | |
| Power conditioner or outlet? kalali1,949 posts10-02-2018 4:52pm"it’s not so much the voltage that’s critical, but the current, and no simple voltage regulator can increase the available current - it’s the law of conservation of energy."Sorry, I probably need a refresher on my... | |
| Power Conditioners Use the cheap ones for cell phone chargers, and the better constructed ones for your audio components. Make sure you run them in for a full day or so with a fan, TV or other appliance, then do several listening tests. The power conditioner may sou... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Instead of cackle like this :I've tested out 3 botique cables from $27 to $233 a foot. In three systems, didn't do anything more or less than 315 foot of 5e. Also in a forum members system a $13, 100 foot cable, put the bamboozle on that members s... | |
| Ethernet Cables A few CAT 8 cables are on the market now. Cables & Kits has a relatively inexpensive one and looks good quality. I am using one now, on my computer.DH Labs makes a CAT 8 with better connectors and silver plated high purity copper wire for a li... | |
| Ethernet cables No Geoff. At least not controlled at the factory. Are you trying to control them ? | |
| Solid Silver Ethernet Cable? The responses here are still valid today (2020). As for the metals used, I am impressed that they do make a difference, even in Ethernet cables.J-Cat makes one with a small percentage of gold, similar to interconnect cables made by Silnote Audio. ... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Thanks for the info, cal3713. The f4s may be good for Klipsch owners who prefer tubes, but have issues with enough power. |
