Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
"You can always tell when mc is lying. His lips are moving."I would bet that most of us here would not know when that is. But someone apparently does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uu_zPFVSPw |
Modjeski designed, made, and sold modestly-priced speaker cables (he stopped including a power cord with his amps, saying everyone already has a spare computer cord that would do the job ;-) , and Keith Herron makes interconnects. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess nether are directional. Yet both somehow managed to make superior sounding electronics. Thank God for good ol' blind luck. @tomic601, maybe on my next trip down to SoCal I'll stop by Vandersteen's place (it's not far off I-5) and give his new stuff a listen. I spent an interesting evening at CES drinking the expensive wine Richard bought for the dinner part (he, Brooks & Sheila Berdan, myself & my woman, another couple), eating Filet Mignon while listening to Richard and Brooks talk shop. I had been planning to go to Modjeski's new place in Berkeley/Oakland and listen to his direct-drive ESL's (OTL amp driving the stators directly---no step-up transformer), but that's no longer possible. Bummer. |
