| HomeGrown Audio Impressions A number of companies produce them, including AudioQuest. They are cheaper than cheap. I see that the Musical Fidelity NuVista interconnects, which are also silver, come with them built into each cable. Antony Michaelson has spoke on the topic, an... | |
| homegrown price increase I have used both the Super Silver and the new cable, Silver Lace. I see that the price of the Super Silver has increased by $10. This is still an astonishing value. Better performance than Kimber KCAG, for the price of PBJ. I cannot fault the cabl... | |
| Best cables for Krell Components I would listen to the opinions of Brulee. I can personally attest to his wisdom in the world of audio. He has given me advice above and beyond what you would expect to find from anyone. Bruce, thanks again for all of your help and concern. | |
| do tubes rock ?? John_l, I too am glad we politely agree to disagree. I have never thought about using the Baron(it's stereo) for guitar. As I am not around them now, I am not sure... My friend just got a Boogie last month, and let me tell you, it kicks SERIOUS bu... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers I know this may be unorthodox, but when I buy products, it is for the long haul. I buy the best piece I can afford. It also requires I fall in love with it. But, my ultimate goal is to build a long term system. I don't want to build a $3500 system... | |
| kimber kable I also find the HomeGrown Audio to offer everything the Kimber does, only better. The wire they use is solid core rather than stranded. It tames a bit of the harshness of Kimber. The Kimber do come with better RCA(WBT) plugs, but you could probabl... | |
| Fortunes on Cables?? Help! Dkuipers, could you please be kind enough to give us the infomation on Bear Labs. Do they have a website, what are their prices, anything you can give. Thank you very much. | |
| New Sade Album I am also a huge Sade fan. I cannot wait to hear her new album. I find her albums to be excellent sounding, and use her Best Of CD during component evaluation. I do understand the boring comment however. In my opinion, her first album is her best.... | |
| How many of us fall asleep while I always fall asleep during listening. The music renders me completely relaxed and at peace. My girlfriend always gets mad at me for this. The first time I saw someone else admitting to this was Sam Tellig, in a recent review. I knew I wasn't alon... | |
| do tubes rock ?? EL34(my favorite tube) is a polite, sweet, laid back, warm, euphonic tube. 6L6 is trashy, gutsy, punchy, and dirty. Which is exactly why you don't see it much in high end audio these days(Mesa Baron and Golden Tube used it). It would get trashed b... | |
| do tubes rock ?? Of course tubes rock!!! Why else would they be in the serious rock 'n roll equipment? But, for Thiel 7's they are not a good match. Not unless you want to get a beast with 16, 24, or 32 output tubes(probably wouldn't have the right tone anyway, an... | |
| Coincident interconnect opninions Eljif, I think that for the vast majority of audiophiles, copper is better. Not that I think it is better, but that it will reveal things to the point that we may not like what is there. I think in the right setup, silver is superior. In my opinio... | |
| Silver Banana Plugs Gthirteen, just came across the fact that Audio Note makes silver plated bananas. Very reasonable too(2.95 British pounds each - not sure what they sell for in the US). Contact a US distributor, or I presume you could order them directly from the ... | |
| New AudioQuest line I would not say it is better. I am kind of funny about cable. I have only have one cable ever "blow me out of the water", and that is one I am listening to now. I am not sure as to the equipment in your system. But, I think the question comes down... | |
| New AudioQuest line How's it going Gthirteen? Thanks for your opinions. I have been a pretty big fan of the old AQ line, as you know from our dealings. Glad to know you are enjoying the Diamond. As you know, we are both big proponents of silver. I cut my teeth with s... |
