| Soundstage depth how to improve? Shootout @klappertjedundas - what are the dimensions of your room? How far are the speakers from the wall (behind the speakers) How far away from the listening position is the wall behind the listening position RE: your statement - Cables not, that is... | |
| Would my system benefit from cable upgrades? @jay73 - So I am wondering if my system may benefit from Cable Upgrades. The short answer is YES! But also wondering if it would really be a benefit to my system or would I need to upgrade to much better components for cables to matter? T... | |
| XLR cables for component connections, or from preamp to powered subwoofer @hz79hc - For components, take a look at Zavfino products that use OCC copper as a minimum e.g. The Fusion - Solid Pure Silver & OCC Copper - ZavfinoUSA - these would provide stunning dynamic performance - but they only come in 1.5 meter a... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz re: All I know for sure is that the specs which are rated in terms of “per foot” or “per meter”, seem to favour using monoblocks close to the speaker. That is certainly correct for cables that use more commonly adopted cable geometries... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz let’s start with About 11-12% of the time the mains voltage is too low to pulse any current into the power supply (Assuming that the rail is at ~28V). The only point in time where electrical energy does NOT flow is at that point in time... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @holmz - lets start be looking at the process at different points in the audio system At the speaker the power required to satisfy the volume level selected has two components - voltage, and the current drawn, which is a product of the speaker... | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? Contact Jeff at Audiomods - he made a mounting plate for the arm a friend of mine ordered from him for a similar turntable His arms are spectacular as well Regards | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @mbolek - a really simple cable geometry that also performs very well, uses a Ribbon geometry Two Teflon tubes held apart using some sort of tape the brown paper tape used for parcels is quite good The tubes should be spaced at least... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @johnnycamp5 - I hope the following provides answers to your questions I always wondered about the improvements from cables but never (not yet) went down that road. My biggest unanswered questions are on “power cables” Are these more like a ... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @ozzy - that could be due to the insulation - larger wires have thicker insulation the greater the amount of insulation the greater the dielectric impact resulting in distortion also larger wires have a larger surface area - again exacerbat... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? @ozzy - RE: I don’t understand why doubling up the cable is better than just using a heavier gauge wire? Mainly because the resistance of the "signal conductor" is halved So why not 3, or 4 or 6 wires? wouldn’t that improve performance ? ... | |
| Rega P9 or VPI Classic1 - Which would you choose?? @billandsol - I’m Not a fan of Rega - so out of the two I would go with the VPI, but even that has some design deficiencies, despite the +ve feedback from owners. My preference (if I were buying) is Music Hall - they are very well designed and do... | |
| Skogrand Cables? I like their website because it details the important features - like Solid UP-OCC wire for fast dynamic performance low dielectric constant - for clarity and details Conductor spacing cable geometry - for low noise floor These are the thin... | |
| How Big of a Difference? YES - The power cords are definitely worth upgrading ! Regards - Steve | |
| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers I’m a fan of the single cable run with jumpers - but not just those silly little jumpers that some with the speakers You need to make your own jumpers using 0.5 meter of 2 x 18 gauge UP-OCC solid copper from VH Audio FOR EACH JUMPER!
