| Reasonable RCA Connectors? I’m building my first set of cables using switchcraft ( so my mistakes are not too expensive). If all goes well, I’ll seek nicer RCA’s. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Japol316What Pre amp are you using? You could always hook up a DVD or CD payer directly (do not play anything...it could damage speakers) and see if the hiss is there. I had a hiss issue but it was due to my RP-5 tube pre output. I solved with a S... | |
| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect Thanks. Just general continuity from end to end? | |
| Which power cords should I look at? I just purchased a ZU Event (mk 1) power cord. I'm looking forward to trying it. To be honest I'm not expecting any sound upgrade. I mainly wanted a shorter cord so the back of my rack is not so cluttered. | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? @tomcy6 No I don’t believe recording standards are very high. In fact it’s pretty obvious that most of the industry has very little regard for the concerns of audiophiles. We’re just far too small a group for them to take us seriously. The Steve H... | |
| Preamp Choice... a hard call for me. I’m not big on Dac built into a preamp. Dac technology changes so quickly. A great preamp will last a lifetime. | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions Who would be a good supplier of terminated/finished Duelund 16ga RCA interconnect cables? | |
| 10 db or 20 db attenuator? I suggest this. https://www.schiit.com/products/sysI’m using one between my Rogue RP-5 and Nuforce STA200 which has super high gain (My ZU Speakers are 101 db). The attenuator allows me to lower volume a bit so tube hiss is not so loud. The unit i... | |
| I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind... Ebay is your friend. Go thru your attic, closets, etc. Find things that you can live without. Sell on ebay. Enjoy less "stuff" in your house and enjoy your new cables. That's what I do. | |
| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. I agree that cables can make a huge difference. Especially, high quality, quiet power cables. Plus, I agree price does not necessarily mean better sound. I'm not in a position to compare super expensive cables (plus, my system does not merit such ... | |
| Speaker plinth material bottom ported Zu Omen Defs I wrote Sean at Zu. I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts. | |
| Nuforce STA200 My speakers are so easy to drive (101db efficiency), a clock radio hooked to them will fill the room. As far as the amp blowing, there are so many variables it would be hard to figure out what happened with so little info. This is the first time o... | |
| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. Thanks. I’ve always heard great things about Clear Day. With any component or cable, my philosophy is that one should get the sonic impression out of the box. If you do not like a component out of the box, then you will just be forcing yourself to... | |
| A Better Bluesound AC Cable? IMO, lowering the noise floor will improve any component. In fact, I could see where you may get more "improvement" with power upgrades then stepping up super high priced interconnects (assuming you have well made interconnects). I'm not certain i... | |
| Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds? Some "port holes" even get by in the classic view mode. |
