| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Alan, where do you buy the Jenna Labs hookup wire? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Grannyring, I did a lot of resistor comparisons including the Duelunds when I was trying to get the very best sound out of the crossover for my high-efficiency speakers, and I am pretty sure I reported my conclusions somewhere in this long thread.... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Grannyring, what happened to your Harbeth 40.1 pair? | |
| Double run of 2 sets of speaker cables from stereo amp to single binding post speakers That type of wiring used to be called "shotgun" wiring. Sometimes using a second set of identical wires in parallel with the first set is a nice improvement, but sometimes not. I have a bi-wire pair of Audio Note SPx cables which have both + con... | |
| Cardas RCA Silver connectors I didn't have any trouble soldering wires to the tabs on the KLE Absolute RCAs and I moved them from one cable to another a couple times without any problems. The Absolutes sound pretty good too except for the bass which is too soft for my tastes. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Silver isn't always bright. My Ocellia Silver interconnects are certainly not bright sounding. And neither is my Audio Note SPx speaker cable.The bottom line is you just have to listen to different cables yourself and reach your own conclusions.... | |
| Dan D'agostino classic stereo amp + Dartzeel NHB-18NS Jeff, did the Krell replace your Absolare amps? | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? Bach Cantatas No. 196 and 18, Musical Heritage Society MHS 3485. Played on a Galibier Gavia with Triplanar VII and Benz LP. I have played lots of records during the past 24 hours as I am getting used to some new speaker cables (Audio Note SPx) b... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? That's right. All amps sound different. All tube types sound different. Choosing a particular amp is very much a personal choice, and there are no absolutes here about one specific tube or topology being best. One has to listen to a variety of... | |
| SET amp comparable to First Watt SIT 1? If the Volti model you are buying is the Vittora, you may be able to use a lower power SET amp using a 2A3 or 45, which opens the door to lots of options other than the 300B. I have heard the Vittora at several of the Capital Audio Fest shows, an... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I realize this is off-topic but for those who might be interested in trying different resistors in their tube electronics, I highly recommend the new Audio Note Silver tantalum resistors. They are only available as 2 watt and so may not be suitab... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Granny, my speaker cable is a Wireworld Eclipse, the original version that dates back to the 1990s. I have tried many other cables over the years but I always return to the Eclipse. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob, you're right, I have been the minority view throughout. But I find it interesting that my complaints about the WE16 are now acknowledged as the areas where the Duelund improved on the WE. The majority apparently didn't hear these limitation... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price For those wanting to try the Duelund wire as interconnect, I suggest waiting until the new small gauge Duelund wire is available early next year. It should have greater potential than the 16g. I have posted a few times that my experiences with W... | |
