| New silversmith fidelium cable We talked about this; here’s what we concluded: While the music we were hearing was unquestionably beautiful, it wasn’t the beauty of the music that caused us to cry, it was the success of our system in convincing our brains that we were in the pr... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? Having both my wife and I brought to tears multiple times over the last two nights by music that we've played many times before on a system that had never elicited that response from us prior to changing only the speakers cables, for me, and for h... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Was asked by a member to comment on these cables. My reply: I think a quote from my wife this morning says more than I ever could: "Your best audio purchase ever."Our system brought both of us to tears multiple times last night. That's never hap... | |

| New silversmith fidelium cable Zoiks, these are great cables! Bi-wire adapters took a bit of attention to arrange, but otherwise easy installation. Wife from kitchen says "Wow, those really do sound good!" Doesn't get better than that! :)Warming up the table and pulling favo... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables and bi-wire adapters. USPS tracking says "Out for Delivery". :) | |
| Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"? There's a very good reason to ask others "what sounds best?", particularly here; there are people who are very well informed about audio reproduction here. It's literally that simple. Equivalent to asking Anthony Fauci about viral reproduction.E... | |
| Tube Rolling Woes Have purchased new production and NOS tubes from most of the well known vendors. Best results have been from Brent Jessee Recording. While a bit more expensive than most/all other vendors, the testing and matching service he provides is, I belie... | |

| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? "Correct"...is right!Here's an excerpt from what I wrote to the seller who had asked for a review of the tubes:"They produce such a cohesive sonic picture, that is so correct and natural, that it actually facilitates a more relaxed, less "critical... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Okalee dokalee. The Voskhod 'for export' mid 1970s 6n23p tubes showed up today. Clearly NOS; clean Ni plated pins. 5 hours on tubes so far. Definitely the "flow" thing is there. Most notable relative to the Siemens, Amperex, Mullard and Dario... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Yes on the Siemens grey plate Cca being a great tube. As our our fellow audionaughts (nuts?) here have convinced me, I likely wouldn't notice much difference relative to the 1963 Siemens E188CCs that I'm currently running.A bit more on the Voskho... | |
| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? I'll make sure to do so rodman. They're coming from Poland with estimated delivery between March 2 and March 19, so will be a while, but I'll for sure return the kindness of you and the other Audiogoners who contributed their hard won experientia... | |

| 1975 New Reflektor 6n23p SWGP or Siemens/Amperex/Telefunken Cca? Love this place. Once had a mentor tell me "All good scientist must have a latent masochistic streak"...what he meant was that, necessarily, scientists must enjoy the suffering that necessarily predicates the solving of hard problems.Could be wro... |
