| Furutech FI-50 NCF (R) vs FI-28 (R) Differences? I found the FI-28(r) to be too bright and too lean. The FI-50 NCF is much better balanced tonally and is more detailed to boot. However, I should add that after using FI-50 NCF connectors on all my cables for several years, I recently replaced t... | |
| All New Treehaus Audiolab Phantom Of Luxury Open-Baffle FIELD COIL Loudspeakers Review I wanted to like the Treehaus system. The designer has an interesting take on things audio, both speakers and electronics, and I liked the look of his gear. Unfortunately, each time I heard the system, at the two CAF shows, I was very disappoint... | |
| The fascination of vintage hi-fi: A Look Back Nice story @doyle3433. I have heard an IPC horn setup, also mono, and it sounded great for sure. I can understand your enthusiasm! Count me among the vintage fans. My speakers have horns from the late 1940s, drivers from the 50s and 60s, and c... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? @ps I must have watched the Ron Carter special at the same time you did. An excellent presentation and it filled in some gaps for me. It also prompted me to pull out a number of my CDs and LPs featuring Ron Carter and enjoy them all over again... | |
| Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC I agree with @yuviarora —-crossover inductors make a massive difference in sound quality. People like to swap caps but rarely do you hear comments about coil comparisons. In my high efficiency speakers with 12db crossovers, I have tried quite a ... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Congratulations Dan! Your impulse purchase turned out well. | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! @fsonicsmith Your feelings about attending shows are clearly stated; fortunately other people myself included do enjoy going to shows like CAF. Where else can you sample so many different components in a short period of time and, if you are so inc... | |
| Best way to spend $1000 on used bookshelf speakers? Dyna A25 or A35. Still a huge bargain even after 50 years. | |
| Cost to Rewire a Tonearm? @paulcreed I bought the Discovery cable already assembled directly from Discovery, not as raw cable. I assume the skinny wire portion is the 32g wire sold by PCX but I don’t know for sure. As I said, that wire only extends a few inches past the ... | |
| Cost to Rewire a Tonearm? I would estimate $100-150 for the labor alone. The cost of cable and connectors can vary all over the map. I replaced the Cardas wire and KLE plugs on my Analog Instruments Siggwan arm with ZavFino 1877Phono copper Litz wire. By that time I had... | |
| Capacitor I hardly ever check this forum any more but I did today and I read this entire thread. And it reminded me why I don’t read threads here. Same people arguing about the same topics, over and over. Don’t you get tired of this? You guys need to mo... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? As a jazz fan, I would say the golden age was the 40s, 50s and 60s, sonically as well as musically. | |
| What high end cartridge matches best with the Wheaton Triplanar tonearm? I use a Benz LP on my Triplanar VII, and it’s a great match. | |
| List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound Unplugging unused gear from your preamp and from the AC wall outlet ALWAYS results in better sound. In other words, if you’re listening to LPs unplug the input cables for your CD player, DAC, FM etc. from your preamp or amplifier. And also unplu... | |
| Cost of state of the art? I have never understood the hype over the Starker discs. I have the Speakers Corner reissues, and I greatly prefer the Pierre Fournier recordings on Archiv, both musically and sonically. |
