| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). RE: Garth Powell is on record (see below) that the braided design is not for sound quality, but only to make the cable flexible Pehaps that is the case in his design - however ...- if you take a 12 gauge extension cable from home depot- remove... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). I have tried braided geometries and they are much more beneficial when compared to a more standard cable geometries.However, it gets more complicated as you delve further into the "science" of cables.The best geometry I have tried/built is this He... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @unsound - It's good to know Goertz includes the Zobel network free - perhaps a few other companies should do that as well.Thanks for the info. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @unsound re:... and know that I use a wide bandwidth ss amp with high capacitance speaker cables Which amp and which cables - I'm curious 8-). Thanks | |
| How much difference could a simple Banana plug make? OK - so I have had the opportunity to try these connectors more as an "adapter".Yep - I simply inserted the bananas into the binding post of both amp and speakers and then inserted the existing bananas installed on my cables into the KLE bananas.H... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? @almarg - you bring up anothre very interesting point... In less extreme cases, though, there may be subtle but significant adverse effects on sonics, including things like overshoot, ringing, or low level ultra-sonic or RF oscillations that are n... | |
| I learned the hard way RE: oscilation...I don't want to hijack this thread - topic is continued here...https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/would-you-change-your-amp-selection-knowingCheers | |
| I learned the hard way @jetter - would that be - after the amp has oscilated to destruction? :-)Actually, I had not heard of zobel networks until your repsonse (thanks) - I purchased a NAIM and the dealer warned me of the issue - so I bought cables that worked with the ... | |
| Need Some Assistance With Rega related Issue @noromance - I can honestly say I think it sounds the same at 33 rpm.The SRM Tec Deluxe Acrylic Platter for Rega comes with a large "rubberized band" that fits the outside edge of the platter to subdue unwanted micro vibrations in the platterThe o... | |
| I learned the hard way @mikexxyz - I took a read of the article and stopped when I got to... It can be solid, stranded, copper, oxygen free copper, silver, etc.--or even "magic" wire--as long as the resistance is kept to be less than 5% of the speaker impedance. There ... | |
| I learned the hard way @slaw - I became aware of this issue because I have a NAIM amp and they promote the use of low capacitance cables as stated on their web site, probably because they have had to deal with the issue before.Their NACA5 cables have pretty low capacita... | |
| I learned the hard way Some (not all) solid state amps that use a high-current design can self destruct due to internal oscillation when a speaker cable having a high capacitance is connected to them.This is NOT an issue with TUBE amps to my knowledgeAyre, Gryphon and N... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable @tobor007 - RE: Weakest link may be in the box. it’s a bit like the reverse of taking the position that using good power cables is sensless when there is romex in the wallHowever - the wires inside the box are generally individual conductors and n... | |
| Need Some Assistance With Rega related Issue @mr_m - THANK YOU :-)Your post prompted me to grap the pulley while it was turning to see if it was loose...If you prevent the pully wheel from spinning the motor shudders.The shuddering from the motor was about the same frequency as the weird spe... | |
| Need Some Assistance With Rega related Issue P.S. - I am using ISOkinetic Bearing oil - so I’m wondering if it is too thick/thin for the Rega BearingIt sounds like really bad wow and flutter and it does not run at 45 - more like 40 rpm33 rpm is spot on because it matched the digital versions... |
