| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I definitely believe in cable break in. However most of my cables including PCs I purchased used. Now here’s my question. Used cables are most certainly broken in. But ….. are they still broken in with your components? Or do they still have to bre... | |
| "Happy To Be Stuck With You!!!" That is the same way I feel about my B&W 800 Matrix. I’ve fell in love with the looks alone when they first came out in the early 90s when they were in the cover of Stereophe. Said to my self one day I will buy them. Bought them finally in 20... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... I too am a firm believer in cables. I have a very revealing system to begin with and for me it’s easy to hear good and bad or improvements within my system. First off I had for many years all Shunyata Sigma HC and Digital PCs for my sources and Ki... | |
| Power cords different lengths. @ozzy Thank you for the info. Because for my ARC Ref 9 CDP is the newer unbraided source version 15a . And for the ARC Ref 6SE is the older Braided source 20a. Also the HC 2m 20a for one of my ARC Ref 750 is the unbraided . So what ever I can fin... | |
| Power cords different lengths. @ozzy +1. Thank you for that extra information. I will keep an eye out for a good price on a used 2M. If I can’t find one in a month or 2 I’ll buy the 1M. I agree that all other cables IC , Speaker should definitely be the same length. Also woul... | |
| Power cords different lengths. @ozzy Ty for your response. Btw I’d like you to read about what ghprentice said and tell me what u think. | |
| Power cords different lengths. @ghdprentice + 1. Ty ghdprentice. That’s exactly the answer I needed to hear. I will be going with the 2 m for the amps. | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? I usually try and hear everything first. Speakers. Amps. Pre amps. But didn’t do that with my last 2 big purchases. The first one was the B&W Matrix 800s. Have read about them for many many many years. I knew they would be phenomenal. Also wit... | |
| Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough? @ghdprentice +1 I just switched and purchased 4 AQ Dragon PCs. 1 for my ARC Ref CD9 source One for my ARC Ref 6SE source. 2 HC for my ARC Ref 750 mono amps 2 m ea. What an improvement. 👍👍👍Was using before Shunyata Sigmas for the Sources and King ... | |
| Audioquest Dragon power cable. @dave777tx @vuch I bought the AQ Dragon 20a source PC for my Ref 6SE Waiting for it to get delivered. I also have one for my Ref 9 CDP. Absolutely love it on there. I will be next getting 2 > HC AQ Dragons for my ARC Ref 750 mono blocks. Ri... | |
| Audioquest Dragon power cable. @jafant I’m loving it. It’s a phenomenal CDP. And with that AQ Dragon source PC even brings it to totally another level. | |
| Audioquest Dragon power cable. @kennymacc Also I can not comment on the Hurricane as I have not even heard it. But from what I did read was that the Dragon PCs are in total different league. | |
| Audioquest Dragon power cable. @kennymacc That sounds awesome about the HC Hurricane for your dac. Question though. When u said that the Dragon was a little too rich for your blood. Meaning what. Money ? Or to rich sounding? Also u said u replaced a 4k PC. Do u mind saying wh... | |
| Audioquest Dragon power cable. @audphile1 I do too lol. I’m surprised that I even called ARC and my dealer up. Normally I woulda just bought the HC PC but did want their opinions. And I know they both know a lot more than me. lol. | |
| Audioquest Dragon power cable. @audphile1 Thank you for that information. I’m sure both would be fine and both phenomenal PC upgrades. |
