| Ultimate Cables Thanks to both. Any others? My intrigue lies in the pure silver/copper mix, not coated wire. The prices are ridiculously low. I realize they have a 30-day, but was hoping for more opinions before going down that road myself. | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? I feel sometimes (a lot of times) the joke is on us, the audio geeks, with the outrageous price of admission on 'high-end' gear. Last time I bought new was internet direct. Every purchase after that was from agon.Could be they just work well with ... | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? Isn't that just Belden wire? | |
| Most overlooked part of your system? I doubt pouring any of the aforementioned on your stereo will make it sound better, but its worth a try. | |
| Most overlooked part of your system? My .02 is cabling can make a difference to a point, but gear will trump cable differences. I found that cabling material (ie silver vs copper) made the most discernable sonic differences. But there are better and worse cables made with the same ma... | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used Hey no worries. I think you helped yourself quite a bit as well! Hope to run into you in some threads in the future. It's cool to find like-minded audio-fools. You prob have read up on Shindo gear in general. I'm always drawn to things that have s... | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used Matt's a nice guy. I'm almost afraid to go listen to his stuff, I would likely come home depressed. | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used Are you going new or used? If you can get hold of one I would say its worth an audition. Within the huge category of "rock" that I primarily listen to there are variables -- voice type (and sex) of singer, acoustic, electric, intimate, driving, va... | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used I have and love it. I wouldn't say it's especially tuned for rock, but it certainly plays it with verve. It's more involving then other pre's I've had. I'm close to picking up a pair of mono Class D amps that I'm interested to hear with the Aurieg... | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used Pace Rhythm and Timing. I meant it to be in this case not a sluggish or slow sound, something with perceivable drive | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used I've heard pre's that are light in mids and bass (and therefore slam). Others seemed to be a little slow. Those may work fine for some types of music, but for rock specifically I think the listener would find it lacking. | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used Is there such a thing as a good pre-amp that is not "rocking"? IMO some may be better then others. Read my OP for what I was referring to specifically. | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used I'll add that old doesn't necessarily mean bad. | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used morgoth, haven't heard th SF stuff so I can't give you an answer. There seems to be some good suggestions here, and I stand behind my Rogue recommendation and I've read good things about Manley products. It seems that if a company has an element o... | |
| Tube Amp,Solid State Preamp. Thanks Almarg. You certainly shed some light on the situation. Since they made the point of making that comment in their own product write-up, it's probably good advice, for whatever reason. Though I'm sure that it's a general rule, and not a hard... |
