| Harbeth SLH5 plus. Top or bottom binding post? The best solution for bi-wiring posts is generally to attach one speaker lead to one set of posts and the other lead to the other set. For example, connect the + speaker lead to the + woofer post and connect the - speaker lead to the -tweeter pos... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles Jazzonthehudson,Like you I have a GTX-D (R). Mine is the NCF version with the aluminum housing and the cover plate. That's the only Furutech outlet I have tried so I can't comment on how this differs from the non-NCF version or how the outlet so... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles There is just no point in arguing in a forum whether "burn in" of something (anything) is real or not. Either you have tried this and noticed a difference, or not. I have experienced the changes with burn-in many times and with all sorts of comp... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" This thread unfortunately got way off track. Looking through all the posts, I only saw one comment about the upgraded wiring vs. the stock Discovery wiring. Does anyone else have any reactions to the upgrades for the Triplanar, especially the wi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have several pairs of Path Audio resistors and they were all the correct value. I didn't like their sound quality though.I am surprised this thread is still continuing. Haven't all possible issues about component part quality been covered by now? | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Audio Note SPx silver Litz, one of the few components I doubt I will ever replace. The retail price is very expensive but I managed to buy mine as a demo from an Audio Note dealer within your budget. | |
| Top resistors Sbl, I am afraid I can't help you. I abandoned my Duelund resistors (regular and CAST) several years ago. Same thing with my Path Audios. All of them left too much of a fingerprint on the music. Therefore I went back to where I started---with ... | |
| Do re -wired BI wired speaker cables need break in time ? The new bi-wiring setup has new connectors---spades or bananas---and they need to break in before you can evaluate the sound quality. When I change spades, I allow them to break in for 40 hours or so before listening. | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? Autospec,I suspect you have been out of touch with the boutique cap market for a few years. InfiniCaps (and WonderCaps before them) are quite dated and no longer in the running for a high quality coupling cap, IMO. The regular Mundorf Supreme is... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Thanks. | |
| 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. |
