| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio I agree with roxy54. What a memorable story and a keepsake you will cherish forever. | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio I’ve reached out to a few sellers regarding counterfeit Nordost cables. I actually received one reply stating that the cables were made by Nordost in a different country. Keep in mind, all Nordost cables are made in the USA. If a Nordost cable is ... | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio Where can you purchase Hijiri cables online? | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio I totally agree! A number of knockoffs are out there, especially on eBay. I’m definitely interested going the used route. I’ve thought about sticking with Nordost but I’ve read a bit about matching other cables for a better overall sound. On the u... | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio I just looked at the Xangsane online. I’m a bit skeptical about the quality. Obviously, a lot of knockoffs are listed in the same search category. The Tuneful may have better quality control. I am really focused on the quality and sound characteri... | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio I wonder if any members are currently using these cables or compared them to name brand, higher end cables. I agree, $100 isn’t a big investment. However, if they aren’t an upgrade, it may not be worth my time. | |
| Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio Cardas Golden is a pretty high comparison. I’m currently running MIT Shotgun from the amp to pre and CVT from the pre to the DAC. I’m curious to know if these would be a step up and offer better performance or if they are similar in quality and pe... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I just purchased a pair of B&W 805 D3’s. I’ve been thinking about purchasing a pair for a long time. I’ve had three other B&W speakers over the years. I recently found a pair of 805’s in mint condition listed for sale and available locally... | |
| Best place to live for good quality power deep_333 is spot on. Run at least one dedicated 10 awg line with shielded wire or use metal conduit to shield the wires from point to point. You rarely, if ever, see conduit in home construction. This topic is definitely something to think about i... | |
| Best place to live for good quality power I wonder how the use of smart meters impacts our power source. Unlike the old analog meters, new smart meters may not provide any surge protection and send out radio signals to the provider to measure usage multiple times per day. The radio signal... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip You can’t go wrong with Hubbell Hospital grade receptacles. They are built like a tank. Luckily, we have all 12 gauge Romex for every receptacle/circuit in our home with 20 amp breakers. Normally, you will find 15 amp receptacles on a 20 amp circu... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip I’m not an expert but this is what Cardas states on their website. “The Nautilus features our own 4181US power outlets. Rhodium/Silver plated contact surfaces and excellent grip tension make both of these premium connectors ideal for audio applic... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip I purchased a used Cardas Nautilus Power Strip a few years ago. You can pick up a used one for under 1K if you’re patient. I use a heavy 10 awg Silnote reference power cable from a heavy duty Hubble receptacle to the power strip. Silnote installed... | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. pdspiegel provided great insight. My Conrad Johnson ET3se has a single 6922 tube. | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 I just purchased the Lumin U2 mini. So far, I’ve been pretty impressed - replaced a Bryston. It’s definitely worth an audition. Like others, I wanted a separate streamer and the Lumin U2 was at the top of my list. That said, I don’t have as nice o... |
