| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? @almarg - Al, thanks as always for you complete and thorough descriptions and reasonings.Your point about... one "Wire Type" being optimal for 50, 75, and 110 applications.It was the RCA connectors I was referring to as being suitable for those im... | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? @almarg - I too wondered about this aspect of digital cables design.It all started about 5 years ago when KLE Innovaitons contacted me about their products.I built a very good analogue cable and wondered how it would perform in the digital realm ... | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? @david_ten - Ooooops sorry about that….@williewonka Steve: within the parameters of (the "experiment" / components / systems) you tested them, correct? Thanks.Yes - I was testing with digital audio files up to and including 24/192. They connected ... | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? I tried an experiment a few years back...- I built an extremely good digital cable with silver signal wires and exceptional RCA plugs- I then "stepped back" the design by replacing the signal wire with copper - there was no change- I then stepped ... | |
| Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 Welllll - he did say - "At least for now!"Oh well - my post might be of help other readers.Nothing on this forum is ever a waste of time - except the obvious :-) | |
| Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 There are some great products listed here - so I’ll just add another to the pot...Take a look at Simaudio MOON phono stagesI have an older LP5.3 RS and have not even bothered to look for anything else.But I did originally try an LFD phono stage, w... | |

| How can we hear the difference in cables in a bad room? @martin-andersen - the answer to your original question...Hi after spending the last months measuring my room with REW and reading about room acoustic in small rooms.I began to wonder how we can hear differences in equipment when the frequency res... | |
| HELP! Streaming to my old school audiophile system +1 for the Node 2iAnd if you treat it to some great Interconnect and power cables it will perform way above it's "snack bracket".You can even get the Node 2 - the original version for a discounted price around $520 and the only difference is that ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation Just be aware that speaker cables that have high capacitance could send you amp into an oscilation state that can damage its internals.Tube amps do not have any problems with high capacitanceKimbert 4tc will probably be OK, but I would research 8T... | |
| Burning period for new connectors Depends on the connectors...- High Quality Bananas like the silver plated copper bananas from KLE Innovations take around 100 hours- Copper Spade connectors like Furez can take up to 100 hours- other metals and types of plating materials will var... | |
| Question about TT Power Connections I’m for the MMF 7.3.The power supply/cable in turntables of this calibre is perhaps the least important aspect of design. But since the MMF 7.3 has a DC motor, I consider that a significant advantageHere is what I consider the most important desig... | |
| Project Classic versus Rega P2 @avhomeguy - I’ve owned what I consider an "entry level" Rega Planar II. Bought it in 1981 However, I’ve spent many years replacing various parts to get it to a level of performance I am really happy with. The only parts still "Rega" is the lid an... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? @drbarney1 - RE:...That is why I am a little suspicious of over-priced cables and the questionable physics describing why you need them.The only proven method to gauge the effectiveness of a cable is to try them.But the good news is - there are so... | |
| Lets see your listening room dimensions. I moved into a new house 3 years ago and so I "planned" (commandeered) one section of the large "L" shaped basement for the audio system.The section I now use for the audio system is 16 ft wide x 45 ft long.- Speakers are 8 ft from the 16 ft wall ... |
