| TAD Speakers I am always on the lookout for a worthy upgrade to my KEF Reference 1’s. The consistently glowing reports for TAD speakers keep them on my radar. I have not had a chance to hear them, and am unlikely to spend that kind of money on a blind upgrade.... | |
| Woodstock 1969, or 1967? You lost me when you trashed a lot of great music and musicians. I like The Band, I don’t love them, but I wouldn’t put them down to try to elevate my own tastes. | |
| A cable too perfect? @kennyc I’m reminded of chicken little That's fair. I have broken in a lot of cables, this one was just really different. | |
| speaker upgrade fever I've narrowed my search down to the JA Pulsar 2 G and a the Harbeth 3.1s Both are used priced fairly. I will be very interested hear your results. | |
| speaker upgrade fever @kclone Disapointig to hear the KEF Reference Series are on the bright side, errr maybe not bright back lacks warmth is a better way of saying it. I think the OP clarified that he was not saying the KEF's were bright, only that he did not want ... | |
| A cable too perfect? @audphile1 if you want it even thicker look for Absolute Copper speaker cables. Might be a good match with those Kefs You read my mind. I am using the Hologram II's right now. | |
| Such Great help before. Maybe some more help now I am not suggesting any change, you have a nice system. I used to have Heresy’s and I liked them, but Klipsch and horns offer a certain type of sound. If you are feeling the need for change I would take the time to audition some other brands of sp... | |
| A cable too perfect? The sound is starting to fill in with more time on the cables. I am now confident that these cables will be very good after another week of play. I will report back once they have had more time. I have just never had a cable sound so different, an... | |
| A cable too perfect? @mclinnguy I agree that it would be hard to assess my power cords and how they might be affecting the system. Keep in mind that I have used several sets of interconnects with this system already, and there was no issue with leanness. You make a va... | |
| A cable too perfect? @steakster @mclinnguy Regarding power cables, I am running Neotech 3001 with either Neotech or Wireworld plugs, one into a PS Audio P15, and then from the P15 to the amp. Dedicated 20 amp line with Furutech NCF outlet. https://www.soniccraft.co... | |
| A cable too perfect? @lak Just a thought I had early this morning, I don't recall if the Acustic Zen Absolute Copper RCA's are directional or not. Is it possible they will sound more to your liking in a reversed fashion? @zlone you never said if the interconnects wer... | |
| How do you A/B amps in your system? @ghdprentice has it right, extended listening for each amp will tell which one is the best for you and your system. And you are right, you have to let the gear settle in for a while before you can truly judge its character, switching things around... | |
| A cable too perfect? Thanks for the responses. I agree the best advice is to be patient and let the cables settle into the system. I am usually very patient in this regard, but the difference was so startling that I decided to seek counseling. 😀 I will report back wh... | |
| speaker upgrade fever If I had to blind upgrade from my KEF Reference 1's tomorrow, I would go with something from QLN, either the new One's or the Signature stand mount. I heard their top model at AXPONA last year, it was the best room at the show. As @gryphongryph sa... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @evank Finally got to sit down now and listen since last night. The SL has smoothed out. Everything I heard last night has changed for the better. My soundstage is back as well as the highs. Added bonus is the reduced noise floor which gives more... |
