Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,

@ jmcgrogan2, whats uppppp!, I just sold my 1973 pioneer cs-901 vintage horn speakers!, thats ok, I have a pair of infinity RS-1 book shelf speakers that sound impressive for what they are!, very solid build and the timberal accuracy is uncanny for such a micro pair of speakers!, cheers!

Jmcgrogan2, I can understand why you had to order your priorities. I too had to do that when my wife was quite ill, but even then I got relief from listening to music. But I see absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the quest for realism. I don't run off willy-nilly and buy the "latest and greatest" but if I hear something great, I can usually afford it.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with your accommodation to life, nor with mine. If that's all there is, I'll just keep dancing.

Hello Gents, I see we are talking about different kinds of music now. That sounds like my cup o tea! Grey9hound, K&D is alright man, how old are you? I am a Thievery Corporation kinda guy myself. "The Outernational Sound" is my fav. Did you try Little Dragon?
Audiolabyrinth, my man, hope you are enjoying Dennis' favorite tunes played on your jaw dropping setup and havn some cold ones buddy! Give us some of you favs dude, and I hope it's not gonna be any of that "new rock" trash brother. That is almost as bad as this "pop country" crap that is all over the radio here.

C'Mon Audiolabyrinth tell us some of those CDs that you like .I need to get some spun up for Waxwaves who needs to come to knoxville and Critique my little Budget system.
I know i sent you a lot of Contemporary blues., which i would bet Waxwaves and even POps would like .

I have bit my tongue for a while here but cannot anymore.... Audiolabyrinth.... you have been giving advice to other (seemingly more experienced members) about cable selection, ground wires, floating ground stations etc etc etc for months now... all the while, judging 15k$ interconnects and 25k$ speaker cables with $100 bookshelf speakers from the 90's and an amp that is only functional in one channel?? hahahaha this is just too much!! Hilarious!! Actually, it is almost unbelievable how misguided your priorities in this hobby are.... I visit this thread everyday for a bit of comedy but now it's gone too far!!

I believe Winston Ma and Paul Weitzel, both well known recording engineers, teamed up to combine their knowledge of creating cables into CRL-FIM (or is it FIM-CRL). Since that time the company has seemed to split/transition several times. The current CRL company is not the same as CRL-FIM, but is related in its ancestery I believe. In any case the cords are not the same.

I happened to invest in a Dude preamp which is also made by Paul Weitzel. Paul of course recommended finding some of his cables. Recently I did find them on Audiogon by someone who use to be a dealer. I bought one pair and the difference in my system was significant. Much more than what I expected. In speaking with the sellar he confirmed they were the most dynamic interconnects he had heard as he has heard many of the top brands. Based on this all of this I actually bought 2 more pair from him.

I have a bit of an unusual system where I have an active x-over that has a channel for the tweeter, midrange and woofer. So when I try out an interconnect I can isolate it to a frequency range. As what many people have stated all cords have there own presentation with there own strengths/weaknesses depending on how sensitve your hearing is and how revealing your system is.

I can say confidently that if you want great dynamics and bass slam with tonal accuracy, but without over emphasizing any frequency or having bass bloat, CRL-FIM fits the bill.

I hope this helps,
Dave
