| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @jastralfu +1, my impressions as well. | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @t_ramey I have the gold plated copper spades. The audition is going well for me, no nasty sibilence heard. Tighter bass, more defined. What I'm noticing now is a more apparent leading edge, which in my system I like. | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @soix I still have them, Transparent Super (Gen. 5); I may use them to bi-wire the speakers. Thinking the VA (silver) on the LF posts and the Transparent's (copper) on the HF posts. Will have to wait until break-in is done and whether I still thi... | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables I’m using the Vogue Audio 7n OCC Silver Strand speaker cables at the moment. 2 meters with spades. I could have used 1.5 meters but I don’t think it would make a difference with these cables. So far, 3/4 through my audition, all is good. These sp... | |
| Personality Type? INTP describes me -- Poet turned litigator. Seems to me that since few will discuss audio or audio exquipment with any degree of interest in my everday life, but members of this forum will, that INTP characteristics would be a natural quality foun... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables Well this thread has inspired me to try some 7n OCC solid silver strand speaker cables. My system is extremely revealing. The silver wires did not come off as bright in my system, but rather deepened the various harmonic resonances around each n... | |
| Why not? Great and valid answers above. Merrill Audio provided Cardas PC’s and IC’s with the Thor monoblocks I purchased. Even though these cords were branded Merrill Audio, they were Cardas cables. I used them with great sucess with the Thors. I still use... | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? IME I noticed the greatest improvement in SQ (more believable micro dynamics and imaging) from installing a Zavfino Fina PC on my streamer. I started with DAC/PRE first (also a Fina), then the power conditioner (Acoustic Zen PC) and amps (Merrill/... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @thyname +1! Thank you for that post. Should settle a fair amount of the debate over whether we can, or are 'scientifically' able to hear what we hear. | |
| What's your profession? Age? Lots of great back stories. Me, I'm an attorney, 57, and just started up in this hobby about 2 years ago (though I did have an Adcom system in the early 90's purchased at Stereo Exchange on Broadway in NYC). Covid prompted me to find a stationary ... | |
| Core Tech USBe Perfect @ozzy Interesting, I also have those components. But I can't see where you would plug it in. Ozzy, I still owe you a response -- the USBe Perfect continues to work wonderfully in my system, just as you describe. In my case, the electronic box ... | |
| $1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please @jerrybj Managed to find a used Pro-Ject Stream Box Ultra 2 for $530 in October incl postage. That's excellent! I've ordered another Stream Box Ultra S2 and Pre Box Digital dac/pre for the patio. One is preowned from Portugal, the other is an ... | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? @emaillists, adding the AD Emperor Clock to the EtherRegen, in my system, added greater subtle detail (microdynamics) to the music such that imaging, sound stage and the emotional impact of the music was greatly improved. I listen mostly to acoust... | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? I'm using an UpTone Audio Ether Regen with an After Dark Emperor Clock. Sounds great to me. I heard a definite improvement in the microdynamics and imaging of my favorite recordings since adding these two items. Music became a bit fuller, more ... | |
| $1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please Best deal I found for quality streaming for around a grand is the ProJect Stream Box S2 Ultra combined with the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital (DAC/Pre). These need to be found pre-owned to be under a grand, otherwise they would cost about $1400 new... |
