| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer "Why do you think he has so many Wilson’s ? People don’t keep them . " Sad. It’s a shame really when people make generalizations like the above and try to spread disinformation. I don’t know how many speakers Wilson Audio has made over the years ... | |
| New Cartridge Causing Intermittent Popping I experienced this same thing once in the 1990s. A loud pop ever so often for no reason I could find. I took the cartridge back to my dealer. Exchanged it and never had the problem ever again. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? You are missing the point that the average stereo system extracts just a fraction of the information from the recording. More resolving systems extract more information. I hear footfalls, whispers, movements in recordings. It was very distracti... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? OCC copper wire wasn’t created for audio. It was created for Aerospace- same with silver plated copper wire. The goal is resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Back in the day I would spec MIL-W-16878 wire, if I remember correctly for LVDTs used ... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Ieales, I love the sound of Quads. My first encounter with them was in the late 1980’s pared with an ARC SP-8 and Quicksilver amp. A Sota Star was generating the magical music emanating from those modified Quad ESLs. That was where my true hi e... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Ieales needs a graphic equalizer- much easier for adjusting the tone of his system. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? So many opinions here based on little to no life experiences. Learning comes from listening and thinking, never from talking. You can read a book about swimming but until you watch someone swim and jump into a lake yourself, you have no idea wha... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? So bazaar | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Counterpoint: Wires move. If the current is high enough the movement is visible to the naked eye. Transducers have wire in them. The wire affects the sound of the transducer. i don’t get this argumentation contrary to what is obvious. Me... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I own the expensive stuff and I did not feel it was lacking- at least not until I tried some upper tier cables. I don't see it as tuning or tweaking. It is refining. The music is there, the detail and the soundstage is there. Its more like pol... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I'm trying not to get drawn into this discussion but I can't help myself. So as someone who has been fortunate to buy some higher quality gear I will share some of my experience. I are an engineer not a professional stereo reviewer but I will tr... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? So you guys are trying to tell me that in a blind listening test I would not be able to tell if my system had cables connected or not? Preposterous. Now could I tell in a blind test if it was the power cord that was missing vs. speaker cables? ... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Try operating your stereo without any cables. You will quickly discover that cables matter. | |
| Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8 I know. I had to work up the nerve to spend the money for the cables. Very good but not cheap. The Wilson’s have one spot in the room +-0.5”. When you find the spot you will know. Lesson learned- distance between the speakers is crucial to get the... | |
| Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8 I have a pair of Pass X260.8's driving a pair of Wilson Sasha DAWs. My preamp is an ARC Ref 5SE. I use Purist Audio Design Corvus power cords and speaker cables with the amps. A Purist Dominus XLR connects the preamp to the amp. All Purist Aud... |
