| Cables more hype than value? Danoroo - how cheap do you want to go?Are you able to make your own? The spiral design IC's detailed under my System link (below) are excellent performers and depending on how far you want to go with them, they can start from around $70 for an all... | |
| REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect Yping - there does seem to be an agreement on the capabilities of these products from several people.Stefano's system does look very nice ;-)But at the prices charged - it does take a bit of a leap of faith for people to dip their toe in the "KLE ... | |
| KLE Innovations zFLOW Cables: REVIEW Yping - I consider my system to be approaching it's resolution limits (especially with the zFLOW cables installed) and for that reason alone I have decided not to purchase the zFLOW cables at this time.But I do think the zFLOW cables would provide... | |
| REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect I thought the gZero20's were excellent - but I've just auditioned the zFLOW33 IC's and zFLOW22 Speaker Cables and again...They are noticeably better !!!See - http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1442175373&openusid&zzWilliewon... | |

| Class D Amps Cable matter?? Mlapenta - an exceptional cable in your price range is the gZero3 from KLE Innovations.They are exceptionally good at defeating EMI/RFI and they sound amazing.I use their cables throughout my system, including their digital spdif.Take a look at th... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Danoroo - some very wise advice from the posters above.Cables are fickle and perhaps the most difficult to attain success with.I have tried lots of cables with differing architectures and also had some amazing opportunities to get to my current ca... | |
| classe ca 200 running too hot? High capacitance speaker cables can cause some SS amps to oscilate. This can cause them to heat up or even blow.Look for speaker cables with a capacitance of around 35pf/meter or less.Van den Hul d352 is one such cable as well as NAIM NAC A5 (the ... | |
| interconnects 68Pete - you have received a wealth of good info from various posters - Almag's observations should be of particular interest and made note of.A practice I have always adopted is to try to ensure the best cables are in place in the following order... | |
| Does a Good 20 amp cable Make a Difference Zy - if I had your investment in Shuyata products I would personally keep with them.The Black Mamba HC CX would be a good choice for outlet to the power filter link and from the power filter to your ampYou could try buying just one to start with a... | |

| Cables more hype than value? Zd - to quote you..."Surprising, because it didn't sound like one"what about the 5i made you feel it was active?I bought the 5i because of it's sound, and at that time I didn't even know it had a passive front end.I seem to like the sound of the l... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Zd - The 5 had Active, but the 5i(italics) had a PassiveFrom the NAIM forum...NAIT 5 (active) preamp: • electronic switching• buffered resistor ladder volume control• through-hole construction• fully isolated from power amp ("split")• six DIN-5 in... | |
| Cables more hype than value? ZD542 and Mitch - I can only speak to what has transpired in my system, here goes...A few years back I purchased a NAIM 5i integrated amp - mainly because it was the one amp that impressed me under around $6k and since my budget was much less it w... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Mitch2 - I used NAIM as an example because their customers seem to be extremely loyal and believe NAIM can do no wrong.I was on their Forum for a while and it seemed that anyone that even dared to mention another brand would be labelled a heretic ... |
