| Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but… Sounds like you have possibly both the crossover and volume on the sub set too high. If you want to get better results it takes a little work upfront but well worth it, and once it’s done you’re done. First, you want to find the place in your ro... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades @czarivey Your last post is telling and not even worthy of a response. Suffice it to say your opinion is in the vast minority here, but you enjoy your Mogami and Kimber 8tc cables and whatever power cords — the rest of us know (and hear) better. | |
| Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house? You are welcome to start with the construction of my house of stereo under my system details. The double sheetrock with green glue sandwich for walls and ceiling plus offset studs construction would be a good start. That’s a good start, but res... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades These truths do also reveal that for audio applications the differences will be so small that most of consumers won't notice and purchase fakes with happiness. @czarivey No, it does not reveal any such thing. Unless someone compared the Chin... | |
| new member, some questions, need help please I don’t think those older inverted-dome metal tweeters are competitive with today’s better designs and will likely need to be tamed by electronics/cables. I’d go listen to some of Wilson’s more recent designs with a silk dome tweeter and see what ... | |
| Power cord upgrade I’ve been impressed by reviews of some direct sellers that are worth exploring as they offer high value and generous free trials. On the lower end there’s the Ice Age OFC “Frankencable” and on the pricier side there’s the Snake River Signature bo... | |
| Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house? This book has a lot of great info. Chapters 6, 10, and 11 in particular would be helpful for tips on room design with instructions any competent contractor could follow. http://www.gedlee.com/downloads/HT/Home_theater.pdf | |
| Separates vs Integrated It’s that synergy that has me wonder about a high end integrated vs what I have. Well that’s just a total non starter. If you can’t be more specific about what specific improvements you’re looking for, even people who happen to own your pre and... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move Reasons for Changing. They do not sound harsh or bright. I'm not thinking of moving on because of that. I'd like to get a bit more depth to the soundstage and more finesse in the overall presentation. Depending on the tube amp I’d highly re... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades @tkrtrb125 +1 Copper: The second most conductive metal, and the most common choice for audio cables. Copper cables are perceived to have a more balanced, "warm" sound. I’ve often wondered about this. I’ve got both silver and copper and have... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades Chinese retailers were selling fake Harmonic Tech, Nordost, Siltech and other 4...5- figure priced wires for around $100 per pair and finding lots of success @czarivey That don’t mean squat. Anyone listening to the same cable one made of brass ... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades It's all about brass being same as OFC and even Silver. All three materials can be used in audio wires and all will sound nearly same. @czarivey You’re kidding, right? That’s just an absurd statement, and nobody makes cables out of brass wire... | |
| Separates vs Integrated You’ve got a nice pre and amp so begs the question what specific improvements are you looking for? Personally, and especially if you like the sound you have now, I’d look to upgrade your streamer first — something like an Aurender N200 or Innuos ... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 I'm sorry to be such a disppointing person to some of you You’re not disappointing anyone here, and in fact we’re just trying to help. If you don’t agree with some of the suggestions being made that’s fine. The thing is, the KEFs aren’t dark ... |
