| How Does Gold Wire Handle? Compared to copper, gold is a poor conductor - you would be building an inferior cableIf you use a single strand then either copper or silver would be much betterGoing to multiple strands of copper you have to think about stopping the conductors f... | |
| SOTA diy speaker cables Is anyone able to any identify any brands for which high or low capacitance cables present problems?My own personal belief is that some amps sound best with low capacitance cables and some amps sound best with higher capacitance cables regardless ... | |
| Audiomods Series 3 Review After a few very important power cable and speaker cable connector upgrades I am now able to hear the full extent of the improvements this arm has brought to the systemBased on the improvement brought about by these changes, I believe this arm has... | |
| FUREZ products - anyone used them? After a couple of days burn-in the bananas are proving to be quite amazing - the spacial imaging has become very focused leading to much improved clarity.Did I think they would make such a profound difference? - no, but I am delighted they have - ... | |
| Schiit Gungnir DAC - anyone have one of these? Eagertrader - after having the Bifrost in my system for a few months now, I can tell you it only gets better :-) Since installing it I have upgraded the interconnect to a pair of Stager SilverSolids - with Eichmann Silver Bullet RCA connectors and... | |
| SOTA diy speaker cables One thing to remember - some amps do not like high capacitance speaker cables - it can cause some of them to oscillate, degrading the soundIn the u-byte2 article I looked at, the cables were rated at 800pf for a 5.5 meter cable - that's 145pf/mete... | |
| furutech bulk ac cable I have the following cables in my system Fp-314Ag - 15 guage - good for source components. I've since replaced these with DH Labs Encore 14 guage, which I find has better dynamics and detail.Fp-3TS762 - 10 guage - the best cable I have - dynamic, ... | |
| FUREZ products - anyone used them? P.S. - Furez also have some very affordable 10 gauge speaker cable that may just perform as well as the bananas.BTW - I have NO affiliation to Furez - but I do like to give praise where its due. | |
| FUREZ products - anyone used them? So - they arrived this morning Now, I'm not sure whether Furez are the anal ones or AV Outlet from where I ordered them are, but the package contained 4 pairs of individually packaged banana plugs and the little torx driver, with the requisite num... | |
| SOTA diy speaker cables Recipe?Are you asking for suggestions of cable "ingredients" Iike - for example the construction of cables using cat5 telecoms or network cable and how to braid them for best results etc...Something like this..-http://www.mejiatryti.com/SpeakerCab... | |
| SOTA diy speaker cables What exactly do these formulas allow you to calculate?How do they relate to- interconnect- speaker- power cable'sThanks | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Mceljo - here's some basics of the science...In simple terms it's all about conductivity . i.e. how fast a metal can conduct an electrical current.King of the hill is silver closely followed by copper - everything else pale by comparison.See - htt... | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? Install Audirvana - it bypasses the apple processing and delivers the raw data from the file to the dac. - it can also play flac if you desire.It pre-loads tracks - so there is less of an issue using wireless, which can lead to dropouts with itune... | |
| Ray Samuels XR-10B phono stage - anyone got one? Jperry - how do you find the spatial imaging - specifically the depth?Do you find the battery power provides enough dynamics?I'm trying to decide between the the f-117 and the XR-2 with the mains power supplyMy main interest is for classical/orche... | |
| Ray Samuels XR-10B phono stage - anyone got one? Oops - the subject should have been for the F-117The XR-2 also looks interestingAny feedback appreciatedMany thaks |
