| DIY Interconnects review My complaint about ribbon IC's is their lack of ultimate weight. They seem a bit dynamically 'flat' as well. But then again, I haven't heard a perfect cable yet, so everything is a tradeoff. | |
| Preserve Golden Referance sound add Netrual Ref ? Jwpstayman, FYI, I've owned the Cardas Golden Ref., for which Cardas makes the same "same at any length" claim. I've owned both a 1 meter and 2 meter, RCA terminated, and I could clearly hear a (minor) difference between the two, which is why I ma... | |
| DIY Interconnects review JD, first, I'd like to say thank you, and second, to wish you better health soon. What I think you've discovered is what most cable manufacturers already know. While there are certainly some that strive to produce quality products at different pri... | |
| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? You also should think about trying VH audio's 12awg twisted-pair DYI cable. Treat the ends with a little progold, and you've got a very powerful and uncolored speaker cable, for less than 4 bucks a foot. | |
| Preserve Golden Referance sound add Netrual Ref ? Tplavas - you are correct, but only because Terry mis-stated what Cardas says about their Neutral Reference. Neutral Reference has the same sonic characteristics at 30 feet that it does at 3 feet. If you like the sound of the system with the 3 foo... | |
| W and M Audio Speaker cable and Interconnects Tubears, thanks for that review. It's strange, because I've heard that strange dynamic 'pumping' from IC's before, although they didn't have ferrites on them. The Audioquest ferrites I tried years ago just seemed to shut down the very uppermost tr... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CD-Player Powercord proposal Fredrik, the Taipan didn't work very well on my front-end gear, it lost too much midrange texture, although it was very smooth up-top. I think I'd be more willing to give the JPS a try. The JPS was very close to my custom-built reference in many w... | |
| Preserve Golden Referance sound add Netrual Ref ? Sorry, but only in an alternate universe. 8 meters of any IC will change the sound, no matter what Cardas says about the NR. | |
| Signal Cable or Audio Art Cable for best budget... If it were me, I'd go to accessories4less.com, and buy IXOS XHA406's, and then have them all cryo'ed.Keeping in mind 'bang for the buck'. | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CD-Player Powercord proposal Fredrik, to answer your question, I'd say you might be more than happy with the SR cable on your A5. The SR cables have fell out of favor with many because they don't diminish the midrange and highlight the bass and treble the way most of the 'meg... | |
| No chance for good power cord for dCS P8i??? The DCS website states only that the IEC connector can't be more than 22mm in diameter. This should allow any number of cables to be connected, as long as they don't use the large round IEC connector. | |
| Need help on which cables where?? Zaikesman, is all that stuff still true, if like, I turn my amps down so I can turn my volume way, way, up? You know, like to impress my friends? I heard some guy say that his amps went to '11', so I had my preamp screen-printed with 11 AND 12!!!W... | |
| Anyone tried the Shunyata Venom PC? You should hear a noticeable difference by going to any of the Shunyata cables from the stock cord, since it's a 4-6 gauge difference, even with the 'lower' line models. If you don't, then you've got an exceptionally well-designed component. I'm p... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Tvad, just an FYI, but while using the DEQ2496, you should definitely try using it with it's stock power cord first. That eq was one of only 2 pieces of gear I've ever heard that didn't sound better with an aftermarket PC. Also, be aware of it's h... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CD-Player Powercord proposal If you have to go with a new PC, I'd also recommend the Shunyata Diamondback. I haven't had great luck with their 'heavier' PC's on any of my front-end gear though. |
