| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables Safeblayer, Mammothguy54 got it right. I used to be a cynic as well but there is a difference with different grade cords. The main difficulty is differentiating quality cords built by good honest companies from high priced voodoo cords. | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables According to my dealer, the Furutech Nanoflux NCF which is the top of the line is the one to get. It’s very good. One of his customers initially bought 5 for his system and added 1 more after hearing the improvements that these cords brought to th... | |
| Luxman 505uXlI vs Cary SLI-100 No to tubes. My pick, Luxman. | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting Better change speakers. P3 is ok for mid and highs but has no bass. For small money you can have a used PMC OB1 and be fully satisfied. I upgraded from PMC LB1 Signature to Harbeth SHL5. I would take the Harbeth over any PMC which include the big... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting I can't imagine the P3ESR sounding bright even if you use the brightest amp on it. It's inherently a smooth sounding speaker. Something doesn't sound quite right. | |
| Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help Between those 2, I would pick the Hegel. At this price range perhaps look at Accuphase and Luxman integrateds too. They make Class AB and Class A integrateds. | |
| Luxman L-509X For those who are using a cheap off-the-shelf power cord on the Luxman L-509X or L-590AXII, do try a Acrolink Mexcel PC9900, PC8100 or PC9700. The changes that these cords bring are incredible. | |
| Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long Right. I'm not sure if some of you guys are exaggerating on the numbers. Currently I'm between 100 and 150 hours. I would say the sound quality is great after the 100 hours mark is passed. No more fluctuations. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable Thanks rnrmf1971, that's it. I'll snap up the 9700 if one comes up. The 8100 should be quite limited as I read Acrolink Mexcel only make 100 of these. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable rnrmf1971Thanks. I guess the 9700 although inferior to the 8100 in some ways if evaluated in separate entity, is still a very good cable if used throughout the system. Guess I’ll take your advice and keep a lookout for another 9700 instead of the ... | |
| Luxman L-509X Douggie, I hope you get that sorted out soon. The holes should be perfect in form. | |
| Classic Integrated Question: Krell or Classe? I owned the Classe CAP-100. It is very good. I liked it better than the raw and unrefined Krell KAV-300i. No experience with 400XI so cannot comment. Personally I would go with Classe CAP-150. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable rnrmf1971, thanks for the clarification. It wasn’t me on Audioshark. I posted on the comment section of Eric’s blog though. I think you responded there as well. Looks like I may consider getting another 9700 complement the 9700 which I currently h... | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante Power Cable rnrmf1971,Thanks for the response. If I am interpreting it correctly, you find that using all-9700 or all-8100 sound better than mixing 9700 and 8100 in your system (integrated amp and SACD/DAC). Interesting.If I’m reading the reviews correctly,... | |
| Sonus Faber sonetto II vs Harbeth 7ES-3 Harbeth for sound and music. Sonus Faber for looks. Good for display or to impress guests. |
