| Cable Quality vs Customer Service Congrats! Hope you like it. My cables took I think about two weeks to arrive — they come from Eastern Europe somewhere, but I forget which county. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Did you spring for the burn-in service? | |
| Sonus faber Venere 2.5 I had the 2.5s in my system on demo, and while they do some things well they also have some significant flaws so I’d look elsewhere. If you can stretch a little I think the LSA-20 Signatures would be significantly better all around than the Vener... | |
| Cable Quality vs Customer Service I didn’t do the burn-in service (too cheap) and very surprisingly I have to say I didn’t notice much of a change in sound, and the Grands are cryo’d so they may sound pretty darn good right outta the box. Just trying to maybe save you some $ FWIW. | |
| Cable Quality vs Customer Service I contacted Lavricable last night. They will be willing to make me a cable at their Grand rank. Sweet!!! I never called them — how were they over the phone? Not sure the Master is worth the upgrade over the Ultimate line, but the Grand that ... | |
| Cable Quality vs Customer Service Seems we have done a great job of destroying the systems which have served us successfully over the years. A big part of this IMO, is too much dependence on computerized systems for their customer service rep. Or worse — India. | |
| Cable curmudgeon it solves everyone’s cable dilemma perfectly: a Bose Table-Top Radio with Built-In CD Player (it does have a short wire antenna to pick up local FM and AM radio stations). Nothing could better help us avoid having to deal with interconnect cables... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers Unledd I missed it the room is as important as the sub. The room (acoustics) are covalent to sub/speaker sound. The room becomes less of a factor the more subs you add. With a swarm (4 subs) the room becomes almost a non issue. | |
| Cable Quality vs Customer Service I’ll save you a little work as I was already on their site. Here are Lavricable’s two Nighthawk cables — all silver and can be had as low as $193 but even their top cable can be had for only $268 although I’d recommend upgrading the plug to the A... | |
| Considering moving on from B&W... I have found myself losing interest in the B&W house sound. I am looking to move away from the super forward and highly analytical sound they bring to something much more musical. Totally agree. I respect B&W’s sound, but I never loved... | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers I’d much rather have two good subs than one great one unless you’re planning on adding another great sub in the near future. That’s all I got. Best of luck. | |
| Cable Quality vs Customer Service I asked a well-known cable company if they would make ever headphone cables as it’s a growing market, and he said he did a few but that some of the connectors are so hard to work with he doesn’t promote it anymore. My takeaway from this is to stic... | |
| Cable curmudgeon I am not prepared to concede, as quite a number here have posited, that exflute's ears are good for playing in a professional orchestra but bad for hearing cable differences. I just can’t — it’s like trying to reason with a bag of hammers. | |
| Offline Music Storage & Playback Options I would reiterate that if it’s at all possible you should hardwire whatever streamer you use to your router. It will sound better and you won’t have to deal with any WiFi issues. | |
| Offline Music Storage & Playback Options I think an excellent-sounding and elegant option would be the Innuos Zen Mk3 server streamer. You can load all your CDs into it, and as a streamer your best sound quality would come from running an Ethernet cable direct from your router into the ... | |
| Cable curmudgeon Big +1 @newbee Bingo!!! I’ve played in a band for many years, and there’s very little from playing live music that translates to assessing individual components of an audio system. And I don’t care how good you think your ears are — being able to ... |
