| Bluesound Node 2i , Azur 851n or ... I've owned the Node 2 for 3 years and treated it to really good cables (i.e. power and IC's) and it performs extremely well - so well in fact, that I have stopped looking for ways to improve on it - perhaps I'm not a true audiophile?I use the Ethe... | |
| Phono Cable Recommendation Please KLE Innovations cables will get your toe tappinghttps://kleinnovations.com/I’ve auditioned many of their products and they all excel.BTW - Their looks are deceiving (i.e. for such an expensive cable), but their sound is what counts - neutral, bala... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? My biggest "eye opening" experience was discovering the effect of cable geometries and their impact on the attached components.Cable geometry is the placement of individual conductors in relation to the other conductors within a single cable. The ... | |
| "Loom" cabling vs. 'mix n match' ? @dr-john - I have been researching, auditioning and developing cables for the last 5 years.There are some excellent geometries in development, but the issue with a specific geometry is that it seldom "translates" nicely to other cable functions - ... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! @grannyring - re:I have found very, very little difference going from the Copper to Silver to Pure. I feel there are two real choices. Copper Harmony if cost is an issue and Absolute Harmony if you want the best. The other two add unneeded complex... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Alex - RE: What I didn’t like - on some records, the sound is too calm, too polite.Maybe it’s the actual wire that sounds "too polite" ?The RCA’s have always responded very well to the various wires I have triedI have been messing with cables for ... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR @last_lemming - take a look at Audiomods ArmsContact Jeff at Audiomods and he will tell you if his arms are a good match for your TTHe has an adapter plate for the Technics SL1210http://www.audiomods.co.uk/technicsarm.htmlHe will also make small c... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Alex - also remember the RCA's need considerable burn-in time.From new, I found small improvements still occurring after 300 hours.If previously burned in - I would give them at lease 60 hours to sound their best.Happy Listening | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Alex, The improvements between the Absolute Harmony and the Pure Harmony are small and you really have to listen intently to hear them.In my reviews I believed it was important to report on any improvements I heard (or not) so that people could m... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Alex...Do you think the tonearm cable RCA connector is the most sensitive place in audio system?Yes and no...- the amplitude of the signal is very small and therefore introduces the least amount of noise between the conductors within that cable.- ... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Alex - the Absolute Harmony and the Pure Harmony both perform extremely well. Perhaps the most telling evaluation was on my turntable which has one piece silver litz harness. The cartridge is a Soundsmith Mod’d Denon 103 with an optimized Countour... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! This thread is quite interesting....There are the people that like/love the KLEI plugs And the people that think they are unworthy - mainly because the silver appears to wear off.Has anyone considered that the problem may not be with the plug, but... | |
| Interconnects under 300 Take a look at KLE Innovationshttps://kleinnovations.com/kle-innovations-klei-products/klei-qseries/klei-qseries-ics/klei-qflow1-i...Even though I have not tried this model, I have tried most of their lineup and they make some extremely good cable... | |
| Jumpers - how long is long enough Forgot to mention that the two wires were separated by lots of space - they were not twisted or joined together.So it seems that the consensus so far is... - the length of wires used for jumpers can have some impact on sound quality, depending on ... | |
| What do you think of the DIY Cat 5 speaker cables Badcap - I have not tried CAT5 for speaker cables, but I have tried it for interconnects. The results were OK, but far from stunning.From a design perspective the cables you mention would be of a higher capacitance, which is something to consider ... |
