| Best Powercord for a TV? Me :-) See above | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC UPDATE:....Well it's been a couple of months since receiving this surprising little DAC and it just keeps giving.In that time I have upgraded the power cords and converted the Stager Silver Sonic interconnect with Eichmann Silver Bullets RCA conne... | |
| Budget RCA/Power Plugs for DIY Lonelyraven - I tried some chinese "WBT" locking rca's - couldn't get the solder to stick to the outter neutral - ended up tossing themWill never buy fake tca's again | |
| Best Powercord for a TV? Tls49 - been there suffered that :-) Better hearing? - maybe - different hearing? Definitely!Actually, my sister and I have omnidirectional hearing, but my brother and other sister has uni-directional hearing.Unfortunately for me my wife has uni-d... | |
| Budget RCA/Power Plugs for DIY BTW - I use Pass and Seymour MRI outlets - grip like a vice - have a job pulling the damn plug outHow do you find the hubbel? - lot's of Agoners seem to use them | |
| Budget RCA/Power Plugs for DIY I've just replaced mine with Eichman Silver Bullets - real difference of opinions on Agon - but I like them a lotThere are other Eichman Bullets that are cheaper if you buy into their design philosophy - which I doMy other favourites that I used f... | |
| Budget RCA/Power Plugs for DIY Here's a couple...I've just ordered this one to try it out...http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SONAR-QUEST-CRYO-Ag-Audio-Grade-Silver-plated-IEC-plug-US-Power-plug-/130856817529?pt=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1e77ac9379&_uhb=1I currently have t... | |
| Best Powercord for a TV? I put a 15 gauge furutech power cord on my lcd tv - when my wife saw it she asked, and I quote "what did you do to the tv"When I told her about the power cord she said she thought I'd been messing with the colour and contrast - more vivid colour a... | |
| Cable/Fuse Direction Matters? Silver cable is also directional - A friend just told me his left channel cable got reversed in a recent move and he noticed something didn't sound quite right - restoring it to the correct direction restored the sound to it's previous quality And... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Update - tried a 10 gauge romex power cord today.Tough to braid - but sounds great and definitely worth the effortPut the 12 gauge on my sourcesI guess it's the same as plugging everything i to the wall outlet really. | |
| Goodbye Sonos, hello ???? Confirmed - cat7 network cables didn't improve playback on my setup... NAS ->cat7 -> router ->cat7 -> iMac + Audirvana -> USB -> DAC But access to the NAS drive has improved a little - better cables fewer resent packets probablyB... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Romex Power Cord - 8 feet longSince there are a few post in Agon that mention this I thought I'd give it a try.Had some 12 gauge cable lying around - the 4 conductor stuff used for two-way light switching.Stripped off the sheathing and removed the... | |
| Cable/Fuse Direction Matters? Geoff - My thinking is - higher conductivity is a result of lower resistance - which I think would result in a lower rectification effect - but that's just my thinking - I might be wrong.I can see where you are coming from though - you might be ri... | |
| Cable/Fuse Direction Matters? Thanks Geoff - I guess I'm wondering if the better conductivity of silver reduces the effect of this phenomenon to a point where it's undetectable.Regards... | |
| Cable/Fuse Direction Matters? Question WRT directionality in silver cables...Has anyone witnessed the same directional issues in silver cables?Does it pertain to copper cables only?Is the effect more, or less obvious with silver cables?Thanks |
