| How to test speaker cables by ChatGPT @vonhelmholtz Ask it if Aliens have found intelligent life on Earth. I posed the question. It gave a long response about there being no proof to date that aliens have visited our planet or made contact. However the very first sentence was suffi... | |
| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? Without a doubt vigorous exercise releases good brain chemicals and opens the mind. Music always sounds really good when I’m done. | |
| Favorite genres for fun listening I have become a big jazz fan purely because of the detail and depth I hear on my system. It’s just background music for me on anything else. I also have developed a liking for some electronica for the same reasons. Am I listening to the music or t... | |
| Digital coax cables @gammamike Thanks for the Silnote suggestion, I will check them out. | |
| The Right Speaker Cables @derfman66 I am on a similar quest and have tried four different cables under $500, including Blue Jeans which are still in favor. I have noticed more differences with speaker cables than any other type of cable. I know there is something better o... | |
| Digital coax cables I have been looking to upgrade my digital cable as well, I have a BJC and a Cullen, which work well but I cannot perceive any great difference between the two. I would like to try solid silver and the Take 5 Neotech looks like a good option, I nee... | |
| Advice on speaker replacement I love the LS50s, but the Yamaha doesn’t have the power to do them justice. I would lean towards something more efficient. Something bigger for your room size might be wise, as the others have stated. | |
| CAT 5 in 2008 built house CAT 6 has more shielding and would pick up less noise. Or, do the fiber thing with a nice piece of CAT 8 on the end. Noise is the enemy of digital, anything you can do to reduce it is good. | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? I got this. I have a constrained space as well, 9' x 11' room with the speakers on the long wall no less. And, they are LS50's. For a long time I had my speakers 5-6' feet apart and thought they imaged pretty well. Then one day, ignoring the compl... | |
| Looking for advise with selecting next integrated amp Sound-wise I think the Coda CSIB is worth a listen. | |
| What to listen for? @ghdprentice I got halfway through your post without looking at the author and said to myself this has to be ghdprentice. Ever the voice of wisdom in this forum, I could not agree more with your comments. I am in the middle of a speaker cable sear... | |
| Recommendations for better computer speakers I really liked my AudioEngine A2+: | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? I own a Freya + that I mostly run in solid state mode. I believe it is quite good, and was a significant upgrade from my NAD. Given the price of the S models, I think it is a pretty cheap experiment to try one, and resale value is good for these u... | |
| Quicksilver v4 monos vs CODA Continuum No. 8 Version 1. I am “biased” towards the #8 because I have one. Amazing sound. Maintenance and heat-wise it is also the winner. However it would come down to your preference and synergy with the speakers. | |
| recommendation of amps Coda is worth a look. A #8 would work well for you. |
