| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change The cures are to only buy when there is a significant audible difference in sound quality that you can verify in your home audio system. Spend more time listening to larger variety of music. Gift replaced equipment to those just starting out. | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" You got the usual response from the folks who have crap for audio systems, can’t be bothered to try, or have genetically inferior hearing. That said I think you have left out a lot for other factors on cable break in. One of many others that can... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be @traubr Ahh... then you are well experienced with cables. I would agree with the comments suggesting the Marantz is now your bottleneck. Marantz was good enough to hover at entry level high end for a good part of their history. Though I don't k... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be You don’t say what you run for cables. my thoughts are that if you are using ordinary cables is the first upgrade should be your speaker cables. I would recommend kimber kable 8tc for your first experiment. Make sure you use a reputable authori... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @dave_b Don’t disagree overall. When it comes to electronics bargain units that hang in there with good high priced components are quite rare. Its often the unit is overpriced compared to its nearby competition. But with cables? Yes the top end ... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @classic8 Great to hear. I think as you move up the audio chain to better components the Ataudio interconnects will hold up well. As I noted in my OP I have much pricier cables that are well regarded in high-end circles and was quite surprised t... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @classic8 Hi, how did your listening experiment go for the Ataudio cables? | |
| Interconnects My suggestion would be to contact thecableco.com and borrow some cables. There will be a small fee which they will put towards a purchase. You’ll want to hear some different cables for comparisons to see what sounds best. | |
| Please be gentle with me! 🙏 Hard to say. A lot will depend on the sound quality of the amp and speakers. | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... You are wasting your typing on the dufuses on this forum. Those of us who have experimented with different cables on our better than mundane audio systems already know. | |
| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question If you are on a budget and looking for oldie but good sound quality CD/sacd player try to find a Philips 963SA player. I still have one and use it as a transport. Used as a player it still has competitive sound compared to current good low pri... | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. Hmm…. Not if it’s the type of banana plug that spins. Then one always has a loose compression connection. if you tighten your spades enough so they don’t loosen it is a much tighter connection then a banana plug. If the spades loosen this is ... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @pennfootball71 While in general more expensive components are better in the audio world I have found that it is quite often not the case and sometimes not consistent across components. So, yep, we do want to be faithful to the music in our selec... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @vthokie83 Quite agree and I would not just go ahead and try any of the other cable brands on pure whim. But this one I tried because of couple of credible audiophiles mentioned them. I dm'd with one of them and he had the right cables and expe... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? @roxy54 Yea, I tried one of their other silver coated/plated cables also and found it to be bright. Mentioned that in my post, that I don't recommend their silver cable. Cables do need time to break in and at least 72 hrs worth of signal passing... |
