| Can speaker cables be too thick? I would like to add my two cents, for anyone that's interested.First, the impedance of the cable and amplifier combination (resistance plus inductance and capacitance) needs to be low relative to the speaker to maintain control - this establishes ... | |
| Tube Phono kits Take a look at the Transcendent Sound Tube Phono Preamp kit. I don't own it (I don't have a turntable), but I do have their Grounded Grid Preamp and love it. It also has 52dB of gain. Just a suggestion. :o) | |
| Synergy between shunyata and Richard Gray I do not have experience with Shunyata power conditioners, but I have owned Richard Gray products for several years now, so hopefully I can shed some light on these - as I understand them (someone please correct me if I have this wrong).The 1200S/... | |
| Mixing speakers, 6 and 8 ohm? As long as your receiver can drive both 6 and 8 ohm speakers you will be fine. You will compensate for the impedance difference when you set the speaker levels - if you used different amps with different gains, it would be a different situation.Th... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 - packing? I would be nervous as well. I don't remember how my Maggie 1.6's pack, but I would look to see that you have styofoam on the bottom, top and in-between the speakers. Those are the areas I would look for styrofoam and as I recall, the box needed so... | |
| what speaker cable betters my audioquest slate? I'm sold on Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables and would like to put in my 2 cents for them. The MI-2's are a great bargain. :o) | |
| Please help with interconnects Since you like the Alpha-Core Goertz MI-2 speaker cables, I suggest you try the TQ-2 silver interconnects that sdcampbell recommended. I have both of these cables in my system and have no desire to use anything else. | |
| New tube preamp Take a look at the Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid tube preamp. I've been enjoying mine and think it's a great value. I don't have experience with the others mentioned, but this may at least give you something else to consider. | |
| Review: Aragon 8008 BB Amplifier Zar,You should get the benefits of common mode rejection with a balanced transformer that plugs into 115VAC power, like the BPT unit provides. I haven't used them myself, but the BPT power conditioners have received excellent reviews.As far as you... | |
| Review: Aragon 8008 BB Amplifier ZarI just want to mention that when it comes to power conditioning I have found balanced power to be important, by reducing noise through common mode rejection. I mentioned the RGPC products I use in my earlier post, but what I didn't mention is t... | |
| Braided cable covering? Ven Haus Audio also carries it. | |
| low resistance and highest quality Speaker cables You can lower the resistance by increasing the gauge of the wire, but that doesn't get you better sound. My experience has taught me that lowest series inductance is the parameter that determines better sound quality. Alpha-Core wires fit this cat... | |
| Most neutral speaker cable for less than $5 a foot Look at Alpha-Core HT speaker cable. This is what I plan to use for my long outdoor speaker runs. | |

| Speaker Wire material Bgrazman: I agree that the amount of oxide in the high purity metals used in quality cables is small, but does that mean that it is not affecting the sound? I don't know the answer. The understanding I have on copper vs silver came from a cable de... |
