| Help me build speaker cables please! Oh man, these things are incredible. It’s not that I’m hearing things I haven’t before. The cat 5 braided cables these replaced were surprisingly good. What I am hearing, though, is a smoother sound, a greater separation of sounds (I don’t say ins... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Funny thing is, I used a crown class d pro amp to good effect until a few months ago. Guess what? That system sounded better with vibration control on the rack, turntable, preamp and speakers. Pro audio gear can show improvements in performance wh... | |
| Will power cable work well as speaker cable? Fancy seeing you here, Steve!Steve (Willie) is right though, the helix cables sound amazing. Maybe not the best first diy cable project, but well worth the time and effort.. keep us posted on your power/speaker cable journey. | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Pro audio and home audio are two different beasts. Very different environments, with very different noise and volume levels.Plenty of mastering studios take vibration control measures.. and that environment is very much akin to the home audio envi... | |
| Will power cable work well as speaker cable? You could, gasp, dissect the cable and get rid of the shield. Throw some tech flex over it and call it a day. If you don't like the shielded sound, that is. | |
| Disaster Post it on your system page! I would love to see it too | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? What about those of us experimenting and building our own? Are we defrauding ourselves? | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard For some music from this century, Glass Animals self titled LP on their Wolf Tone label in conjunction with Caroline is amazing. Incredibly quiet with excellent dynamics. A beautiful world of sound! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... 😂 | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! And we're back to smooth, liquid sound... Still, I can never tell if it's me (tired, overly sensitive, in a good mood, etc.) or if it's the break in. This is why I never make my final decision on a component, cable or tweak until I've had it in my... | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? @williewonka - ha!My amps have no transformers.IC geometry will affect sound. An example that can’t be validly argued against is an IC made from two wires and no shield is much more susceptible to picking up noise than an IC with a braided shield ... | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? That was actually really funny Randy. C'mon though. There is loads of established theory regarding cable geometry and its effect on noise rejection, capacitance, inductance, signal integrity, etc. | |
| Dave's Picks 23 Hahaha! | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? @chewie70 - don't forget about cable geometry. That plays a part in the performance and 'sound' of a cable as well. Even power cables. | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil @tubegroover right on. There is no doubt that tweaks like this come in after room treatment, speaker placement, isolation/coupling.. in fact, I'd wager that, if you haven't sorted those issues, you'll probably not even be able to notice difference... |
