| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? @jrareform Perhaps I wasn't clear in that I was only commenting on amps/subs on power conditioners. Vast majority of equipment in my system running through BPT 3.5 Signature with film cap and AC outlet modifications (Oyaide R1). In my demos of amp... | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? TiListening to equipment is likely impossible for an audiophile. The question I'll always ask is, how much more resolution/transparency remains to extract from all sources? Most amazing discovery in audio has long been how much available from... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? I have three dedicated line, all are 10AWG wiring from same phase on 20amp breakers to AC outlets, never want any possibility of current limitations on any of the dedicated outlets. Power conditioner with any number of components connected on one ... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? Upon further reflection, I've been speaking specifically to my recent experience with the REL subs. In consideration many subs use class D amplification I'll agree they less sensitive to PC vs at least some REL's. Class D much more efficient, swit... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. @atmasphere Good advice, something I discovered on my audiophile journey, inefficient and/or insensitive speakers require watts, and not just watts, quality watts. Any amp capable of delivering quality watts brings a price, the more there are the ... | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest I suppose tubes and warmth go hand in hand. I also think tubes and reel to reel decks say a lot about one's level of curiosity. So many tubes, so many functions, so many voicings, so many designs. Reel to reels, so much mechanical complexity and i... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? @hilde45 I'm well acquainted with placebo effect, been around the block a time or two over the decades. PC's affect dynamics and specifically how those dynamics delivered. Specifically as to how they affect subs is damping factor, some cables can ... | |
| Cayin D30 DAC outperforms Weiss, Playback, CH and MSB @wig Based on it's tech I'd not expect it to better the dac's you listed. I have both Musetec 006, previously owned 005, 004, also own the Laiv. Don't need tubes with a well designed sabre chip dac, 006 just as musical, analog like presentation as... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I have a Technics SP10Mk II, completely rebuild, custom plinth, etc. etc, took far more than $2500 to get it to the point I considered it to be a finished product. I could never go back to a belt drive, went through the VPI belt drives, modified T... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? If one believes power cables make a difference with the rest of their equipment why would they not believe they could make a difference with subs? PC's also affect dynamics both macro and micro. So, per everything in audio, believe what you want t... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Your on right path with the Volti's, horns don't require loads of power which helps to keep total costs down. Horns specialize in bringing performers into the room perspective, pair them with some 300B SET amp and you'll have the beginnings of a g... | |
| It's been a long time. The fact you listened to your streaming setup for that long without firing up the vinyl rig tells me you were very content with the sound quality. I suspect what you're hearing now is only difference, give it more time to determine final conclusio... | |
| 845 tubes... As I mentioned previously, reliability issues with other types of Psvane and Linlai tubes, no issues with others. My take is why hurt your reputation with any model of tube production, poor quality control at these companies. Doesn't mean you'll n... | |
| 845 tubes... I've suffered KR, TJ Fullmusic failures. I probably trust Linlai less than Psvane. As I mentioned in your other thread Shuguang Black Bottles i purchased through Grant Fidelity years ago best sound quality and reliable 845 I've experienced. | |
| Pure Silver Wire I've long found silver/gold combo cables to deliver on all fronts, presently using Zavfino Gold Rush and Mundorf silver/gold cables in my system. Gold tends to just slightly mellow the silver, very unique voicing. |
