| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 Thanks for the recommendation @cfa88. I will look into it later. I am aware about the advantages of some of these pure silver or monocrystal silver interconnects from the likes of Siltech or other brands which have been recommended on the forums b... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 Thanks for the responses guys. I’m trying to find justification to spending the money for the ultimate XLR, perhaps my last cable upgrade before I call it a day. @audioman58 made a valid point and I surely agree. It is diminishing returns with mos... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 ryder Can you talk about the presentation/sound of the WW and Acrolink XLR? Jafant, WW Silver Eclipse 8 XLR sounds leaner with better separation and tighter bass, Acrolink sounds fuller and warmer in the midrange with more bass. The last compa... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 Thanks Soix. Guess what, I owned the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II XLR about 15 years ago and sold them for $300. I see the used price has tripled. 😅 I am not in a hurry and will keep these in mind. Thanks. | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 @soix i recently upgraded a mains power cable and was pleased with the improved sound quality. It is sounding quite perfect at the moment but I’m not sure if the system could improve further with a higher quality interconnect. If it’s possible I w... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest These are all solid state components in a Salamander cabinet, and up to this point I have never been a fan of isolation devices with SS gear. Based on my experience, a good equipment rack designed for the hifi is superior to a piece of furnitur... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Hi Jafant, A Lumin U2 mini streamer is feeding the Luxman DAC which is connected to a Luxman L-590AXII integrated with the WW Silver Eclipse 8 that is discussed here. | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K @cundare2 I was referring to the Acrolink 8N-A2080III having a warm and liquid midrange with a tube-like glow in the highs, not the Silver Apex which you currently own. I don't have experience with the Silver Apex. I consider the difference b... | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K By the way, I wouldn’t say Luxman amps are analytical sounding amps. They are generally considered to be warm but detailed particularly the L-590AXII that I currently own. I know warm and detail appear to be contradictory but that is what I experi... | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K One motivator is that after recently switching to more revealing Analysis Plus Silver Apex cables, I find I can no longer stand the sound of my last-gen Class D amps. May I ask if the Silver Apex are speaker cables or interconnects? If it's the... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Jdub39, less than 100 hours, perhaps 80 hours. I think you are right. The sound improved today as it sounds a bit more dynamic. The bass sounds slightly tauter although still not as powerful. It’s getting better. I hope the less than stellar sound... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? @tokushi You posted this earlier:- 1. Difference Between Silver Eclipse 8 and Gold Eclipse 8: The Silver Eclipse 8 is typically considered to be a more neutral and detailed cable. It offers excellent transparency and can provide a sense of ... | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i Thanks for the response, appreciated. | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i @ghdprentice what about the next step up from Cardas Clear Reflection which is the Cardas Clear? Does it sound warmer or brighter than the Reflection? I presume the clarity and detail of the Clear are better than the Reflection? I have a Luxman ... | |
| Wireworld Silver or Gold Eclipse 8 - IC or Speaker Cable? Hi Jafant, Thanks. This time it’s not the WW Silver Electra7 PC but the Silver Eclipse 8 XLR interconnect. I haven’t made any serious comparison between the Silver Elektra7 PC and Acrolink PC but may do it soon. I briefly swapped the Elektra7 PC ... |
