| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice @ezstreams - cable science has advanced considerably in the last few years and it is very difficult without knowing the science, to determine which cables may be affective. You are probably due for an upgrade, so it might be good to familiarize y... | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice @ezstreams - You said your Power and Interconncet cables are "mid Level" What are you speaker cables? My own system has been elevated to amazing levels of details with the introduction of highly detailed cables that consist of... Advanced cab... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation to upgrade Tribuataries in Wall UL rated cable Take a look at this neaotech cable... Neotech bulk OCC cables The OCC copper should imrpove dynamics and the geometry should improve clarity and imaging Regards - Steve | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ketchup - I was looking for bare OCC wire I can find Neotech insulated wires on Parts Connexion, but they used to have their own PC brand of bare wire in thicker gauges - They onlt have the thinner gauges right now Cheers | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I haven't had cause to buy and bare OCC copper wire in a while and I'm now finding that it appears to be scarce. Does anyone know a supplier for 12/14/16 gauge bare OCC solid copper wire? Parts Connexion, my goto store, only has 18 gauge oe sma... | |
| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? I;ve seen tungston mentioned in a few high end acables and it puzzles me because copper is a better conductor - OCC copper even better using a metal that does not conduct as well as copper would degrade dymanic performance degrade clarit... | |
| Phono cable (RCA-RCA) from TT to Phono Pre Question @mmcgill829 - while zavfino does not post values, several reviews state that all their cables are described as low capacitance in several reviewse. I would think they would b lower than 38 pf per meter, probably closer to Nordost cables. Hope ... | |
| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? @gte357s - Take a look at the higher end of the product line from Zavfino - they are well designed cables that perform extremely well They should provide a noticealble improvement in dynamic performance and bass detail and depth. Regards - St... | |
| Phono cable (RCA-RCA) from TT to Phono Pre Question @mmcgill829 - rarther than simply replace the cables with another basic interconnect, I would take a look at Zavfino cables. They have a lot of experience with well designed phono cables. Cable science gets complicated and the capacitance of a ca... | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? @mmcgill829 - what makes a good cable? Cables are surrounded by a lot of misinformation - e.g. people talk about resistance, capacitance and Inductance as being key, which is in fact far from the entire story! Read this thread for some basic kno... | |
| Need some help picking my first MC Cartridge One thing about the Denon 103 that is not discussed above - tweaking ! I started with the 103-conical stylus and loved it over the other MM/MI carts I had tried But @jasonbourne71 is right about the Shibata stylus - it recovers more details I h... | |
| Upgrade from Bluesound Node What cables (power and IC's) are you using on the Node? The Node ups it's game considerably when treated to very good cables Take a look at Audio Envy or better still, Zavfino - select cables that have OCC copper or silver in their contruction ... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? WRT @yoby’s post above - if you construct DC power cables using solid OCC copper or OCC Silver (even better) you should notice an improvement in dynamic performance, compared to the more standard OFC copper wire generally used. Even though we are... | |
| Speaker cable lifters. @tattooedtrackman - the answer depends on your cables - you said they are thick,which suggests a complex cable geometry They probably take into account the effect of different floor coverings I doubt if risrs would make any improvement ... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? @macg19 - thanks, hope you can make use of the info If you have some spare time - take a look at https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-conversion-to-diy-helix-geometry-cabling to see what others have contributed to the Helix Cable d... |
