| New Audioquest cables vs. Old? Carl eber wrote a lengthy, detailed, and very valuable review of the AQ Diamond X3 with references to new AQ products and posted here at audiogon and at another audio site. | |
| counterfeit NBS cables Some cynics would say: authentic NBS cables are already a copy of other cables (Cardas, PAD...) and there are a few cable companies that copy NBS "legally" already (Heaven's Gate in Germany, as one example): if the counterfeit cable sounds as good... | |
| 10 sonically best rock recordings ? Megasam, I keep my turntable set-up going largely to play recordings like the ones on my two lists (and also musique concrete, avante-garde classical and free jazz). This is challenging music to track down and find on vinyl nowadays but well worth... | |
| Need help from Z-Systems owners Also, bob bundus's advice is excellent: all Z-systems equipment reacts very strongly to power cable upgrades. Get the best possible power cables on your RDP and use matching power cables on the CD transport and DAC as well as other devices connect... | |
| 10 sonically best rock recordings ? Here is a continuation of my previous list: ten (10) more rock recordings that have excellent to superb sonics. They may be difficult to find, since they are vinyl, "independent" (small recording companies) recordings from the 1980s ownwards. All ... | |
| Need help from Z-Systems owners If the power to the RDP is interrupted by any other way than turning off the unit by the switch on the back (power interruption, power cable accidentally taken out), signal lock may take a while before it can be re-established. Best thing to do is... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi sead, it would have been nice to talk to you at Frankfurt High End 2001, but I could not find you. You have your headquarters in Sarajevo (correct?), and there can be no doubt that to meet you among your equipment there, in the very place where... | |
| PC Challenge Test Results It is noticeable how much serious interest--VERY serious, involving lengthy tests and debate--in power cables has increased on audiogon over the past half year. Yet, look at the "2001 Recommended Components" of "Stereophile" and you will not even ... | |
| Any DIYer s out there ? Sean, at a certain point I could no longer endure certain capacitors or chips or transformers which seemed to clog a singer's lungs or take the flesh off of the world's best orchestras in my system. It was with the hope of vanquishing these petrif... | |
| PC Challenge Test Results Nobody tell Jhunter the price of the NBS PC's otherwise this will influence his test;-)! Actually, I think they are slightly less susceptible to movement anomalies than the PAD Dominus, so it might be suited to his test methods. Just make sure to ... | |
| PC Challenge Test Results Jhunter, I know what you mean. I cannot tell if the sentence I quoted is from the recording engineer for the CD ("Russ Borad") or someone from NBS's promotion department--probably the latter. The recording itself is very simple: two acoustic guita... | |
| 10 sonically best rock recordings ? Souporhero, Albini (over-)mikes drum kits with alot of Neumanns and constantly searches for a powerful room reverb. But too much of the dynamics of "Rid of Me" are mechanical, as if the instruments had only a few volume levels that they moved betw... | |
| Carl hears through Diamond Carl's subwoofer cannon; or, the Sunfire bazooka. Is that why the military called them SUB-machine guns? How many dBs will you have peaking at 10ft for the stage divers? Sounds like a very extreme project. | |
| PC Challenge Test Results NBS is another cable company that produces its own recordings: fine microphones, preamps, hall acoustics, recording media, AND excellent cables. The booklet for NBS Listen Records cat. 002 even says "NBS cables are the key to the clarity of this s... | |
| I normally don't ask for help, but..... I am too modest to pray, but Cindy is in my thoughts. Thanks Albert. |
