| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank nonoiseBeing an objectivist is merely a facade for being subjective in that belief.Ultimate catch 22. Well played. Objectivity is no longer possible. | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank Correct! If you blind test and fail to hear the difference in a between a $15 cable and a $300 cable you must throw the evidence out. What will be attacked next? Perhaps walnut speaker wire elevators? Special on eBay now. 8 elevators for | |
| Single wired hookup I have the Salon 2 speakers and keep them hooked up to the recommend setting. That said, I have had them set up to the LF connections. I could not perceive any difference in the sound. | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank I would say prior to spending even 10% on cables for your system, check out Gene DellaSala's (Audioholics, youtube) advise on what cables can and can't do. You can buy well made, basic cables for very reasonable prices. | |
| Taralabs cables I have some older Tara S/T Quantum's hooked up to my Revel Salon 2's. They sound exactly the same as my unbranded 12 gauge cable. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I would say if you haven't used some of the extreme high end tweaks like audiophile rocks, please don't judge them. After all, I remember the once thought snake oil products such as snake oil, bust cream and sea monkeys were thought to be somewhat... | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? JBL 250ti in decent condition. | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. I'm not trying to be completely negative or insulting concerning this subject. However, I am always interested in new advancements in audio. Cables included. I think comments positive or negative are a good balance to subjects that are controvers... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. "Prove it?" Would't go there. You may challenged to pick out high end cable with the lights off. Better yet, pick out the same high end cable with various levels of burn in times. You are correct, talk is cheap. | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. Good point. "If you keep your eyes shut tight, I am certain you will not see anything.. either." With your eyes still closed ask yourself, can I hear the difference? | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. One poster wrote, " I had used Kimber PBJ for the 7 meter run, and back then, I never noticed any change but I was not looking for any". Interesting, that some people are looking for the change in sound. Perhaps if you were not looking for a cha... | |
| Small drivers vs big drivers Many good points. All tech stuff aside, I had a pair of jbl 250ti's for many years. They were a 4 way speaker with 14" woofers. I sold they recently and bought a pair of Revel Salon 2's with 3, 8" woofers.The Revels are better speakers in every w... | |
| Only you expensive cable owners, is this real? Really have to consider the size of the eye in the needle. | |
| Brilliant Pebbles, a new tweak, cheaper than high end cables. Perhaps better noise reduction if the pebbles are placed in the ears? | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s I'm using McIntosh 601's and a c47 driving my Salon 2's. My listening room is somewhat on the small size, but fairly well treated. For me, the room treatment was the key to a really good sound stage, deep and wide. The speakers pretty much disappe... |
