| Power Cables @dmance... I think we just don’t know enough about electricity Interestingly - I believe you are not wrong.I spoke with an "electronics technician" that repaired a friends solid state amp which "self destructed" due to the speaker cables he had... | |
| Power Cables @wmarkhall - as stated in my first post - components with large, well designed cords do not show as much in the way of improvements, compared to those components with smaller power supplies, such as source components.WRT ... explain to us how thi... | |
| Power Cables @wmarkhall - I’ll attempt to address your questions in order, but some answers overlap...what part --specifically-- inherent to the "advanced" power cable enables it to allow more power from the station / to the pole / over the lines / into your h... | |
| Power Cables Here’s the thing - Powerful transient signal demands - such as the crack of a side drum or the slam of a bass can draw significantly more power than the 5.21 amps sisyphus51 calculated BUT only for very brief moments in time. However, they do cont... | |
| Audio Education For some pointers on cables and various cable geometries (i.e. how they are constructed, take a look at this link...http://image99.net/blog/files/category-cable-science-basics.htmlIt mainly deals with DIY cables but it also explains the benefits o... | |
| How do you think this AC power will be? @tjbhuler - There is a growing consensus within the "cables community" that having a thicker neutral than the live/signal provides improvements in sound quality. Perhaps the lower resistance of the neutral plays a larger role in the performance ... | |
| Speaker suggestions for saround sound. Personally I like Tannoy. They sound a little more dynamic, more musical and more natural.Regards - Steve | |
| How do you think this AC power will be? @todd1010 - I always order this pair from this store KAMKAM0770https://www.ebay.com/itm/SONAR-QUEST-CRYO-Ag-Audio-Grade-Silver-plated-IEC-plug-US-main-plug-sonarquest/181355696313?hash=item2a39a450b9:g:J~oAAOxyhXRTKcHiNever had any issues with his... | |
| How do you think this AC power will be? @todd1010 - that is correct - the braided mil-spec wire will provide better sound than both the DH Labs and Furutech bulk cable.If you have already purchased the DH Labs wire you can remove the outer sleeve and braid the three conductors for great... | |
| How do you think this AC power will be? Guys - If you have any questions - just ask - happy to helpIn terms of inprovements that can be acjieved....- the Helix Speaker cables offered the most noticeable improvements- the IC's were perhaps the next best- the power cords are a little more... | |
| How do you think this AC power will be? I have tried the DH Labs Power Plus with the Sonar Quest.ConnectorsIt is better than a stock power cable and about s good as Furutech 10 gauge bulk cables, but without the expense.The Connectors are one of the best out there - I use them on all o... | |
| Gershman Avant Garde Upgrade? @jab - have you ever listened to Avantgarde Horns?When I bought the Sonograms, I was not really in the market, but one listen had me returning to the dealer with amp and cables in tow - the rest is historyMy experience with the Avantgarde DUO was ... | |
| Cardas Cables @Thyname - It would appear that only the top of the line Cardas cables suffer from high capacitance due to their advanced geometry.Clear Bewyond is 446 pF/ftClear Speaker is 278 pF/ftThe other models seem to be in the range 30-55 pF/ftKimber Kable... | |
| Recommendation for packing/shipping large speakers Wrapping each speaker in the Pink Rigid Polystyrene Insulation available from any large hardware store will protect extremely well- easy to cut to size- The red Tuck Tape sticks to it very well and is strong- even if the box gets damaged the pol... | |
| Cardas Cables A couple of Cardas speaker cables (not all of them) have high capacitance values.This does not have any affect when used with tube ampsHowever, some High Current design solid state amps will self destruct due to oscilation - Ayre and Gryphon are t... |
