| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables I have about 15 hours on the the Valhalla 2 speaker cable copies which are 1.5m. I’ll give them a month and then will compare against the ones I’ve been using for the last year. Out of the gate I’d say they’re a very good cable and there is a brea... | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables Couldn’t resist the temptation though and have ordered a pair of Valhalla 2 speaker copies. Actual wire may or may not be the the same but they’re definitely made with machinery that looks capable of putting out the real thing. I have a pair of u... | |
| Superconducting speakers, are they on the way? Would you be first? Won’t be selling my cables or speakers just yet. From the good folks at Wiki... Replication attempts As of 4 August 2023, the experiment has not been successfully replicated, despite the initial experiments being completed in 2020. No replic... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights My TTW Gem V2 came with a 1kg weight. It makes a noticeable improvement. | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had @audiojan "Silversmith Fidelium (own), replaced Cardas Clear Beyond (which was the best I've heard and owned before the Silversmiths)" I recently added a pair to my system. What amp and speakers do you pair them with? | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures Very nice. Enjoy! | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Old thread but I'd like to add a brief comment that in the last few months I've gone from good quality star quads which I'd been running for years to Nordost Superflatlines which were a big step in the right direction to the Fideliums. The Fideliu... | |
| Newest Audio Research News: This is very good news for ARC. As I stated when Trent bought it a few years ago...I hope they don't muck it up! | |
| EAR Phono Classic / Phonobox tube rolling w/ 12AX7As Thanks. Hadn't seen that. I did find an answer to my question elsewhere though. V1-2 should have the highest quality tubes & V3 is not as important so I'll try the NOS RCA 12AX7As in the V1-2 positions and use the EH 12AX7 in the V3. | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables decooney said: "Are there non-knockoff (genuine) CN cables anyone likes better for the same price? What's puzzling some times is why most everything investigated or praised is some kind of "knockoff" cable. How about genuinely good well built ... | |
| Clearaudio Double Matrix Professional owners - technical question Thanks for your comments everyone but that's the obvious path I chose this morning after not getting any comments from owners. Turns out there is supposed to be 2 springs in the arm wand assy and they've been added to my order. Cheers | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Long thread at AK about this:https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/recieved-my-dartzeel-nhb-108-copy-from-china.825905/ The OP, Matt, of that thread sold it on. He gets really enamoured with some of his purchases but eventually moves ... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? BTW I don't support the out the back door overrun idea either (as much as I'd like to have a full loom of some expensive cabling at 10% of retail). | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I don't own any counterfeit gear.& don't agree that anyone should support counterfeit goods that are trying to be passed off as the real thing. However, I also don't have any issue with someone reverse engineering a cable and offering their v... | |
| what's the real story on china-hifi-audio? legit online shop or not? I don't know the answer to your question but they do have some very appealing prices on some gear. I do note that much of their offerings are only available in 220 which means you'd need a step down transformer or rewire your electrical panel for it. |
