| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable Here are some that are well worth looking into given what you’re looking for. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650194385-acoustic-zen-absolute-shotgun-bi-wire-speaker-cable/ https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650193097-acoustic-zen-absolute-... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? I’m looking into the acoustic zens. Just wondering why you suggested them. And if you don’t mind - what do you think about about Cardas Persecs? Thanks @mclinnguy. I recommended them because you think the Kimbers are bright sounding and the AZ... | |
| Looking for Advice on My Nearfield Setup – KEF Q350 + Yamaha A-S501 + Topping E30 II A couple initial thoughts: How many hours of play time are on the components? It’s possible they’re not broken in yet, which can often yield hard, thin sound. I’d give them at least 100 hours of playing before making any firm conclusions. Seco... | |
| Neutral-ish Speaker Cable What’s your budget for interconnects and cables, are you looking new or used, and do you use XLR or RCA? | |
| Did I Expect too much? Makes you wonder how much they may have skimped on crossover components. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @kevn It’s the way you supposedly “ask a question” that’s the problem here. You pose suppositions about what @atmasphere is saying that he’s neither said nor implied in any way — you just make them up in your own mind — and then after incorrectly... | |
| Klipsch vs B&W brightness @knotscott +1. Why are you even asking this? | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? I’m pretty confident these will bring significant improvements over what you’ve had to date. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650192681-acoustic-zen-satori-speaker-cables-25m/ https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650192584-acoustic-zen-zero-c... | |
| Opinions on McIntosh MHA200? Here’s another amp you might wanna consider, and like LTA they also offer a trial period. https://soundnews.net/reviews/amplifiers/laiv-harmony-hp2a-review-the-one-that-challenged-the-many/ | |
| Speakers sound too bright. Is it worth changing out my Blue Jean speaker cables? I feel like some of these expensive cables are over hyped. If its suggested not to keep the Blue Jean cables, what relatively inexpensive cables would you guys suggest. You have some ver... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? I've had the Kimber 8ts and Silver Streak about a month and things are sounding too bright. What cables/interconnects were you using before? I’d wait til you have at least 150 hours of playing time on the Kimbers before making any firm conclus... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? based on what I have read from your posts and the exchange between you and jea48, would it be safe for me to summarise that you are of belief the primary and perhaps even only issue of the effect of a power cable on sound has to do with voltage d... | |
| Opinions on McIntosh MHA200? Guess they’re gonna have to find another brand to tame those aggressive B&W tweeters. | |
| Getting started with Headphone system; what are the basics Just fyi, I’ve got the Arya Stealths (the model below the Organics I recommended above) and they really just do everything well. Great expansive “out of the head” imaging and soundstage, neutral but musical and very balanced from bottom to top, an... | |
| Primaluna evo tube preamps with Coda S5.5 I was also going to mention the Aric Motherload, but you’d probably want the XL version that is balanced and is a little pricier than the Raven so tough choice. Both end game preamps IMHO. |
