| Speaker Cable Recommendation Like you I have a low power, high efficiency system, with fully horn loaded speakers. After playing with various cables including Duelund, which I found charming but ultimately too colored for my taste, I’ve now found audio nirvana with some "Chin... | |
| Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV To answer the OP's question, well obviously Heresy sits on the floor and is not very tall, so soundstage might be better with Forte. You can always put them on stands, which depending on the room might call for subwoofers. (but if you put them o... | |
| Soundstage Heresy IV and Forte IV @panzrwagn I believe you haven't heard the last generation of Klipsch Heritage. While it is true that previous models were not the last word (to stay polite) in audiophile attributes such as smooth response - realistic soundstage etc, the last g... | |
| Tannoy Westminster’s Audition? You really ought to audition them before making any purchase decision. They are notoriously (and surprisingly, in regard of their high sensitivity) difficult to drive. They can sound "slow" and "ponderous" with the wrong amp. Big Tannoys (GRF? I... | |
| Can "Dark"Sounding Speakers Be "Brightened"UP??? @deep_333 well, I just did it: I replaced my previous speaker cables (silver plated copper + teflon) with some Duelund DCA cable, and it has shifted the tonality of the system, towards a darker, more laidback presentation. Just what I was hoping i... | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under I would get the Cornwall IV. They are an absolute bargain. Not perfect, but they do offer a lot of great attributes at the price. | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? I find my tiny flea power class D amps to have some of the subjective character of SET amps (to some degree, of course, but more so than many "traditional" class A or class AB solid state) They have been ON for the last 10 years, 24/7, just like ... | |
| Duelund speaker cable gauge for my system? @pdreher well yes I suppose there will be some break in happening, altho quite surprisingly there doesn't seem to be this awkward rollercoaster burn in period ( or maybe it hasn't started yet!) where you wonder why in hell did you purchase the cab... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? My amps are Chinese. My DAC is Chinese. My cables are Chinese, at least most of them. Most of my accessories (footers etc) also are. My Audiolab transport is British but made in China. I'm "poor". There is no way I could afford ANYTHING half d... | |
| Duelund DCA12GA 600Vdc used as speaker cable: first impressions @roadcykler maybe, or maybe not. I believe when budget is very limited, a well designed class D is preferable to a cheap class AB. I have tried a lot of amps, there is something magical about what a well implemented TA2024 chip does when connected... | |
| I need a class D portable integrated with power Aiyima A07 or A07 Pro with the highest voltage PSU you can get That things is a bomb and sounds amazing. | |
| Monster m 850 cable upgrades Xangsane silver cables are absolutely fantastic, unbeatable at the price and hard to beat at 5x the price or more. | |
| Duelund speaker cable gauge for my system? Well, a friend of mine sent me a short length of Duelund DCA12GA 600Vdc. It is the wire that is recommended for power cables, but some people like it a lot as speaker cable. I know my friend did! On horns. The difference is the dielectric, which i... | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable @roxy54 yeah I use those interconnects too. They are the bargain of the century. Being familiar with those, I needed to give the coax cable a shot, and I'm not disappointed! @jtcf definitely check them out. Their silver wires are fabulous. @thyn... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I'd be ready to make a poll and I'm pretty sure that, in 2023, the vast majority of audiophiles agrees on the fact that cables matter, that it's completely normal to hear differences and that spening a certain amount of cash on cables is, in fact,... |
