| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! It is not only the crystal structure that is changing with current. The diode effect has influence on the directivity of the cord, the saturation of the diëlektricum acts as an capacitor on the time domain and varies after burn-in. And then there ... | |
| How to tame a bright system? Acoustic - use absorbers at the back & ceiling. Electrical - use gold plated connectors. Use shielded power Cords. Placement - less toe in, some tilt, closer to the wall. Cabling - Audioquest earth as interlink. Vibration control - isoacoustic... | |
| Power Cord Shielding Shielding on power cords is not always a good option. It can induce eddy currents, a pathway for leakage currents, limit the bandwidth, make the earth wire noisier and create resonance. I also can kill the boogie factor because it messes up the su... | |
| Suggestions for rca connector - diy interconnects Hi ,- Neutrik is the standard for RCA and XLR and affordable.- ETI Research, Xhadow, KLEI, Oyaide, AECO are the best- Bang for the buck: EIZZ, Ramm, ViborgTry to get pure copper or tellurium copper plugs instead of an alloy of brass/phosphor bronz... | |
| Favorite cable brand. For DIY: Neotech, Ramm Audio, Oyaide, Furutech, ViborgFavorite Brands Nordost (Heimdall and up) Siltech & Crystal Cable.Brands that I need to check: Black Cat, Silversmith, In-Akustik, Townshend. | |
| Lack of Female Representation 1) They just don't care 2) They focus more on music than good sound 3) They don't give a sh*%^&t about electronic equipment in general 4) They don't like nerds & the mansplaining of audio jerks ("my toy is bigger/better than your toy bla b... | |
| Dedicated line question My apologies Ray, I didn’t get the part where I insulted you. The part "learning from other respectful audiophiles & manufactures (skipping the as^&(^&*es and knowitalls)" is a more general complaint about hate trigger jerk offs in thi... | |
| Dedicated line question Tantejuut, where did you get this knowledge from? A combination of 35+ years of audiophilitis, learning from other respectful audiophiles & manufactures (skipping the as^&(^&*es and knowitalls), EE degree, experimenting/DIY &... | |
| Dedicated line question You want a dedicated line for separation and less influence of nasty equipment to your system. You also get less contact resistance. If your dedicated line is shielded of (better) starquad wired you also get less antenna effect and less inductance... | |
| Bulk power cables suggestions I suggest Ramm Amadeus 5 MKII for hot and neutral and a counter rotating earth wire around the cable, and combine them with pure copper Viborg plugs (for example VE512R) with the plating that you prefer (gold,rhodium, pure copper). That gives you ... | |

| Benefit of shielded ac wire? Any downside? @cleeds . It is standard wire. I just braided it myself. It is a double run, normal wire for in wall use twisted in starquad. Pitch twist about 4 inch. It took a while for 15m. A good foundation for my system. Direct connection to my star wired di... | |
| Benefit of shielded ac wire? Any downside? I recently moved to a new house. I have wired my system from the breaker panel with starquad 12 awg solid core wire direct to my distribution block. And a 10 awg , counter rotating, earth wire. Starquad has the advantage that it is a selfshielding... | |
| Dynamic range - effect on different speaker cables - even very high quality ones "Cables may get over saturated with sound". The only thing I can think off is that the current can be too high for the given AWG and the dielectric is getting overcharged and starts compressing. Is the cable getting warm? The cable dielectric can ... | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables Real audiophiles have big buck cables and standard house wiring, because they are always happy with small improvements.😁 |
