| Cable Synergy Zar, how powerful is your amp? Unless it's 500wpc or more, and your speakers are very inefficient, I can't recommend the lab for it. While these mega-gauge pc's do help mitigate the damage done by powerline filters; they really do unbalance the na... | |
| Comparisons of Audience and VH Flavor 1 PC's Try the $50 Absolute Power Cord MKII...Or you could spent the $50 on beer...:) | |
| what digital cables for my dac? Mrtennis, I agree, the xstream digital from ps audio was an overlooked gem. I suspect alot of people didn't care for it because of it's extremely revealing character. The digi-cable from Discovery cable is another standout, but too inexpensive to ... | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? It's good to see there's still some humor around this hobby. | |
| Cable Synergy The xstream statement is an okay cable for before the power plant, but I'd look into something smaller in gauge with more resolution for connecting your components to the power plant. Keep in mind that 6 gauge is way beyond the internal capacity o... | |
| The best power conditioner for less than $1K? Before going to the expense of buying another PLC, you might consider changing your outlets. Hubbells and Pass & Seymour tend to be very revealing outlets, especially if cryo'ed. Furutech outlets might work, although they tend to be more dull ... | |
| what digital cables for my dac? Tobias, yes, I've tried 1.5 meters in digital cables. I think it has much to do with what cable you're using. I read a statement by Ray Kimber that their digital cables tend to have more upper-frequency emphasis in shorter lengths, which is my exp... | |
| what digital cables for my dac? TobiasJack Dotson, there doesn't seem to be very much at that site. The nav buttons don't load anything--no cables, no systems, no speakers... maybe it's my browser.I think it's your browser or its' settings, it worked fine for me. It's interesti... | |
| what digital cables for my dac? DrubinSterevox. This is the designer who created the Illuminati digital cable, which was something of an industry standard for many years in the 90's. He's back and with a digital cable for well under $200. This is an easy decision.Agreed, it's an... | |
| what digital cables for my dac? It seems that most of the analysis of digital cable length is based on theoretical levels of reflections in cables. These usually assume some horrible mismatch between transport and dac, or a digital cable improperly terminated. If we are talking ... | |
| what digital cables for my dac? Feel free to try shorter lengths of digital cable. While some cables may sound better in longer lengths, the general rules about all cables still apply to digital, shorter is always less damaging to the signal being passed in the cable. I'd sugges... | |
| Anyone have experience with "Signal Cable" Cables? I'm sorry if my response was too 'forceful', I was only trying to refute what I felt was a too-broad statement. If there's one think I recognize, it's that everyone has an opinion on matters audio. I tried to allude to that in my post. Again, sorr... | |
| Anyone have experience with "Signal Cable" Cables? I think the response that Frank's cables are for those who pay attention to the aesthetics of cables is a bit condescending, and frankly (no pun intended) off the mark. Yes, there are other offerings that may sound better in one system or another,... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? personally, I was taken aback by twl's tone. The last thing we need in this over-hyped hobby is people who use the poor logic of twl. Things are better because someone else says so? HUH? I have many years in this hobby, and don't expect anyone to ... | |
| need amp advice Forget the amp...go with a good integrated. I would definitely look hard at the used market, you might even be able to pick up a good classic preamp...like the adcom 565 or 555, and then spend the rest on a used ROtel amp ( the best budget amps in... |
