Siltech G5 against the rest of the world.
Tgraffair, what is the name of the Siltech G5 speaker cables, you are auditioning?And what was your impression when you comparing the FIM stuff against the Nordost Valhalla? Would you prefer the Valhalla or the FIM Gold? 
Siltech G5 against the rest of the world.
The Virtual Dynamis arrived at my home today. I got their second top line, but there seemed to be an issue with RCAs when I hooked them up. So Rick will replace the interconnects for free with his top line interconnects.Of course I will only profi... 
Siltech G5 against the rest of the world.
Mikeam, is it Siltech G5 or G3 you were comapring the FIM cables to?The G3 are excellent, but the G5 is another dimension not even touched by the G3, if you ask me. I have a hard time trying to imagine, that FIM Gold will be better than any of the... 
Siltech G5 against the rest of the world.
Plato, I am not an arrogant person by nature and always am willing to learn and change setideas, if I am taught something else.That is why I have not mortgaged my house just yet and still have the hope that I will find the exact cable with the ver... 
Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla
You have no idea, what it means to me to read these words of support for what I am doing here. So many people have almost taken it personal that I prefer one cable above another, or do not believe that there is an audible difference of sound quali... 
Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla
I would love to try their squared designer reference with active shielding, but its even more expensive than the Valhalla, isn't it?So we are getting here into the price range of Siltech's new G5 stuff. 
Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla
I do not see my review as incomplete.I stated in another post clearly that I had stopped breaking-in the FIM, due to concerns I might damage the spades enough to not to get my money back.When this review was written, it was supposed to be a first ... 
Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla
Goodness, I could be mistaken about the copper. The spades are plated with a gold like high polish plating, are to me quite soft, but of course could be made of silver or some sort of an alloy. Its kind of tough to look underneath the plating.I re... 
"Double" bi-amping a good idea?
""That is because a REAL 4 ohm speaker would EFFECTIVELY be seen as a 2 ohm load by the bridged amp. Only BEEFY amps can run bridged at 4 ohms. If an amp can run bridged with a 2 ohm load, you KNOW that it is built BETTER than a tank.""Since my ML... 
Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla
Brianw, why does it leave you wonder? I was told by Winston Ma, that I will not get a refund if I leave marks and we are talking a $5000 cable here. I already left tiny marks when trying to hook it up to the amps and speakers, but imagine more mar... 
"Double" bi-amping a good idea?
You are right. I am not bi-amping, but monoblocking right now.But why must I use an external cross-over when trying your vertical bi-amping suggestion? Could't I use the internal speaker cross over in my speakers, like Martin Logan suggests?And si... 
Update III on the cable shoot-out
The cable cooker is sold by:http://www.audioexcellenceaz.com/audiodharma_cable_cooker.htmIt seems to work for me very well, but as Gregm said: the milage can worry. I heard that Jena labs have an Audiodharma cable cooker, since it makes sense to p... 
Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla
Well, after having put several cables on my new Audiodharma cable cooker, I am now in the position to tell that the cable cooker works and that at least the cables I have, did improve after 24 hours.I stated that I feel the FIM to have a certain p... 
Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla
I stopped playing around with this rather expensive cable, as I am afraid not to receive my money back.I had to pre-pay the cables and got the promise over the phone, that I would receive a full refund, in case I should decide to send the cables b...
