| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Again, this is semantics. What we learn is which cable sounds better in our system. | |
| ERS Cloth uses Freemand, I installed two pieces of ERS within the panel feeding my dedicated lines. I put a 5 x 6" piece in the top above the breakers and a 4 x 6" piece on the door above the circuit breakers themselves.I would not describe the effect as substan... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Pjl2122, until I heard the Feastrex 9 inchers on Sunday, I would have to say that the Grand Veena had my vote for the best speaker at the RMAF. Of course, the Feastrexs are far more expensive. I very close rival for the Grand Veena, however, was t... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Mlsstl, it is semantics. Since some cables sound better they must of necessity be passing the signal better and/or keeping spurious signals out better. They are subtracting less in the first case or adding less in the second case. I don't know wha... | |
| Reversing absolute phase Mothra, I don't think there is an industry standard. We have no way to know whether what people prefer in polarity is correct polarity, the best of quite mixed polarities on a given recording, or even incorrect polarity. This is the sad state of a... | |
| ERS Cloth uses Vx700, if by polished river stones, you mean Brilliant Pebbles, I can say that in at least some circumstances, I have found them useful. I am using none now and I am using no ERS cloth now. In my experience I cannot place the ERS cloth as anything... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Dazzdax. I certainly would not go so far as to say cables cannot elevate the sound to a higher level of excellence. Does this not imply a zero improvement? | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? How does anybody ascertain the percentage increase or decrease in performance, period? I can understand the notion of the magnitude of improvement, but percentages seem to me to be false precision. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Thesound, the ADAMs seem the philosophical opposites of the Feastrex. They do look like they use folded ribbon tweeters, which seems like a great chose. | |
| ERS Cloth uses Vx700, all that I can say is proceed slowly as your experience may be like mine. With the exception of one cut up sheet, I sold all of my ERS cloth. I am going to try Freemand's suggestions today or tomorrow. | |
| ERS Cloth uses Thanks, Freemand, I have one sheet of ERS and will concentrate on the circuit breakers and the box. | |
| Reversing absolute phase Lewm, I just don't believe it is all that difficult. I helped mic a recording session of a jazz festival while at FSU. We checked at all balanced cables were wired correctly, that all the mics when we blew into them showed the correct output on th... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Regalma1, on snow I prefer red to see the slope changes more easily. I am now using a ss preamp and amp as finally someone has made one that accurately reproduces music. SETs do alter the music but less than anything else, IMHO. | |
| ERS Cloth uses Freemand, I have yet to find a good place but have not tried the circuit breakers. Where do you put it? Just on the front of the panels? | |
| Reversing absolute phase Piedpiper, I agree about the degradation. I had a Millennium preamp made by Siltech, with a remote switch to invert. I noticed that the best sound was to invert the speakerwires at the speaker but not on the preamp. It turned out to be an invertin... |
