| Audio Envy SP12 Speaker Cables Thanks again. I can order a 28 foot run from Audio Envy right off their website. | |
| Audio Envy SP12 Speaker Cables @cd45123 Thanks for the advice! As for the Zavfino, the website only had one size, and it wasn't 28'. | |
| Audio Envy SP12 Speaker Cables I just bought the 12s a month ago. They bested a few other cables I have - Zavfino, Driade Flow 405, Anticables 4.2. I would be interested in hearing comparisons with the Anticables 4.2. Those just came out, so maybe you got an advance copy. ... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. People in the Wharfedale Facebook group who own Elysians say that they love the sound. I'm waiting for an official review in print or on YouTube. Tharbamar has been showing off his pair of Elysian 2's on YouTube, but he has yet to review them. | |
| Quad Z-2 Opinions The Evo 4.3 is currently on sale (manufacture price reduction) by $100 in the US. My guess is that it’s not selling as well as the 4.4 or the 4.2. If I were in the market for a floorstander, I would definitely get the 4.4 over the 4.3 given the la... | |
| Quad Z-2 Opinions AudioTroy,Thanks for the comparison with Opus--that helps. I think your autocorrect might need adjusting. :) Kenjit,Unfortunately, flat panels won't work in this room. | |
| How long do high quality speakers "last" Won’t the wiring and other metal parts oxidize over time? Before I got Anticables, I was using Monster Cable. Every year I would cut off the ends and peal back the jacket to expose fresh (less oxidized) copper. It always provided a big jump in cla... | |
| SACD Warning--"Do not use liquid cleaning..." ? Okay, I found this on the Auric Illuminator website, which seems to answer my orignial question:Auric Illuminator is not compatible with early made hybrid SACDs made by Sonopress. You can identify SONOPRESS SACDs by a marking around the inner spin... | |
| SACD Warning--"Do not use liquid cleaning..." ? Two of my SACDs that have this warning are on the Telarc label (Al Di Meola's _Flesh on Flesh_ and Ensemble Galilie's _From the Isles to the Courts_). The disc surface definately looks different on these. I thought I remembered the instruction she... | |
| CD-R Recs Okay, one more question. The elite line of Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs are described as waterproof. Is water capable of harming a normal CD-R? I usually wash new CDs to remove the mold release gunk and was wondering if it is safe to do this on a CD-R. | |
| CD-R Recs Thanks for the tips. I will be burning on a computer burner. I noticed that the TY discs are described as ink jet printable. Is it safe to write on these with a Sharpie Marker? I've heard concerns that on most CD-Rs the ink can seep in and mess wi... | |
| Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD One factor that might make a difference is whether you prefer a closely miked recording or one with more space. The Martin Pearlman recordings evoke a large hall, while the Trevor Pinnock recordings sound closer and more intimate. I like the perfo... | |
| Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger? Thanks for the warnings. I am recalling a story I heard some years ago about one of the former members of the Yard Birds. He electrocuted himself while tuning his electric guitar. I assume his guitar amp wasn't properly grounded.The hum is definat... | |
| CD Mats David12 and Maclogan,Were your CDs otherwise untweaked, or were you using the mats in addition to other treatments? | |
| CD Mats Aurex claims that its mat will work with changers as long as they are the horizontal type. The SID specifically says not to use it with changers. Not sure about the other kinds out there. |
