| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit James,1.) oxidation on OTA, views?It does oxidate, of course, at the ends. It is recommended to clean the ends every 4-6 months with either a specialized audiophile product for copper or just the plain baking soda. Some in excess of the cable just... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Asa,The way I see it (forgive me my eventual ignorance that may result from the fact that I am not a native English speaker), you seem to be among the very few in this discussion enslaved by their own matrix, or better yet, the matrix of common me... | |
| Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital Ken,there is one that seriously shatters my vinyl addiction and you know that my vinyl rig ain't really that bad (wink, wink).I know, I know, (and you know it too) two and a half years ago when I said that there is something close to vinyl in digi... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Redkiwi,Can it be that "fuller and richer" is actually "mellower"?Multiple strands are the negation of the physichal principles 47Labs cables are based upon. Really, we are talking about a "time domain smear" and consequence to that is your initia... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Mark,Gentle crimping isn't usually a good idea. Unless you can make a really good crimping connection, you better solder (and this comes from someone who hates solder). Good pressure is needed to keep the air off the contact.Thank you for your kin... | |
| Isolation Platform for CD Transport?? As a strong proponent of the school of thoughts that says that, since vibrations can't be dampened evenly throughout the spectrum, thus resulting in the cure being worse than the illness (please refer to Decay's post mentioning "dips and peaks"), ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi Ivo,I thought you went for vacation?Funny, we live like two blocks away from each other and we meet here. :-))My point was that Gaincard will work with other cables as well. Possibility is that most of these cables may do injustice to it but I ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit No, Gaincard doesn't have to be used with 4708 OTA Cable kit. I think this became obvious for everyone glancing through numerous reviews where reviewers wouldn't use it even if strongly suggested as a far better solution from what they've been usi... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi,4708 OTA is too thick and too inflexible for internal tonearm rewire. Eh, I wish it could run from cart to phono preamp... :-)My suggestion would be either to get a single run of a good tonearm wire and have it run all the way to phono preamp f... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi Kitch29,"And those guys at the Frankfort show used it for power cord?"Yes, we did, we do and we will. :-))"It doesn't seem like it would be possible to tightly twist the OTA but I thought someone might like to try this configuration."Neither it... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi James,»Hi sead, it would have been nice to talk to you at Frankfurt High End 2001, but I could not find you.«I was there 90% of the time, the remaining 10% of the time I was out for business talks. The fact that my wife wasn’t there either at t... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Dear Ken,I will have to dissapoint you - I couldn't make the functional and long lasting crimping in this particular application so, yes, I've betrayed my personal preferences by soldering Storatos to the speaker drivers.Best,Seadp.s. uh, how coul... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi,Me again_“Caterham1700, I was wondering where those isolation shelves came from! Nice work. 47 labs had them all resting directly on the floor (no rack at all).”I must admit that we were planning to use the rack_ Since it was late on delivery, ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi James,Thank you for the kind words. This is probably my first post on a public forum in more than a year.Since I was hoping to meet you, I wish you'd raised my attention by making the reference to our earlier correspondence. It was chaos in the... |
