| 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! KLE Inn... | |
| How Big of a Difference? @oedstrom11 - your Schiit components are much better than most people realize - they just need very good cables! The Amazon XLR are fine for now - so stick with them I would start with speaker cables and then power cables Take a look at Zavfin... | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable @rauliruegas - my post was not commenting on any specific cable. It was meant to point out there there are cable design complexities to be considered other than simply the type of metal used in the conductor My apologies if it appeared otherwise ... | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable @jw944ts - cable selection is far more complex than Silver vs. copper and it seems that cable geometry and insulation type are seldom mentioned. However, as pointed out by others, these two design elements of a cable are most often responsible fo... | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 @jetter - WRT he states that there is little difference in sound from one XLR interconnect to another. He’s probably correct for many commercial products, mainly because they all conform to the more generally accepted cable geometries (i.e. tw... | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 @marktheshark - I would definitely go with the amp as close as possible to the speakers and use speaker cables that are as short as possible. I would also opt for speaker cables with totally separate +ve and -ve wires to reduce noise contaminatio... | |
| Unfiltered Power Bars @greg7 - Having read through the postings, a couple of products stand out for me Yout Furutech e-TP66(g) - mainly because they use the Furutech outlets, which are a proven product, but also because you can attach the power cable of your choice... | |
| Schiit Bifrost 2 question? I haven't played with the fuses on the Bifrost. but installing great cables really improved performance. Regards - Steve | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @lanx0003 - most cable companies provide very little insight as to why they charge the price they command, simply because the cables are poorly designed and tend to perform just above the abilities of stock power cables. But there are a few compa... | |
| WAudio 3900 "Hi-End Audio Grade" Noise Filter This guy was NOT impressed ! | |
| Analog upgrade @kerrybh - I have the previous version of the Moon 310 - i.e. he LP5.3 RS, and I have stopped looking any further. I did not go with the separate power supply, because I believed I could improve the sound quality by using a great power cable - an... |
