| Which preamp for Quicksilver mono amps? If you want your QS monos to sing, it's really worth trying some different preamps with them. While I've helped a few friends with the standard QS line stage, and its a value for the $, do try a few nice lower gain (or switchable) 6SN7 preamps at ... | |
| Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation @blackiridium if you are stuck with a bookshelf cabinet for placement, dealing with resonance and sound reflection - are you able to place the speakers where the front slightly overhangs the shelf (about an inch) and angle them toward your listeni... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @norust "he wanted me to reach out to him on his email- evidently not allowed. This was the last I heard of him..... " That's probably it. Same here, received a message asking to engage and share more. Maybe too enthusiastic for this forum -or... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Looks like all of @silverfoxvtx1800 posts are gone, removed from this thread, and a few others too perhaps. What's going on with forum posts lately. Is that self-removed or forum moderators, and if so maybe less effort is the way going forward if... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @silverfoxvtx1800 thanks for the history and all that you’ve worked through prior. I’m not looking for speakers for myself, yet helping a few friends looking at ideas from time to time. I have followed Gary/BorderPatrol and Greg/Volti some from th... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @silverfoxvtx1800 what is it about the Volti Audio speakers that you enjoy more [when compared with the same amplifier], Is it the bass, midrange, top-end, or maybe how its being presented differently in a more desirable way? Or, perhaps how the m... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? [to @gavin1977] As a quick test and self reminder of what just happened, try re-inserting a pure copper interconnect head of stream, back at the source, ahead of the downstream silver cables. You can move the cable up/down the stack and find a bal... | |
| Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…? @kennythekey "I’m sure I can get him to suggest what to use for the whole package and maybe this might be a loom of cables." I’d recommend trying one component cable set at a time -vs- jumping over to a full loom all at once or you really won’t... | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @plinko I think the newest Klipsch speakers (Forte, Cornwall, Klipschorn) are far better than their past versions. Good to know. If you don’t mind the ask - have you actually compared the different versions first hand? A buddy of mine has owne... | |

| Do your ears deceive you? @panzrwagn "Maybe you could define of what a sufficient system is made." @coralking "One where you can hear the differences between cables." Interesting question and points. A musician family buddy, also a very capable audiophile and I trad... | |
| What speaker cable for Martin Logan motion series (AMT) tweeter. @bobrock it seems like you’ve already got a good handle on trying different cables and helpful examples so far getting started. I got baited by a good friend 30+ years ago who had a massive supply, and later again with a few dealer friends who let... | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @classicrockfan "I write posts on this forum not for elon musk but for audio enthusiasts who live on a budget more than 90% of us." How do you write about something you've never tested before? Again, it's all just a bunch of babble until you ... | |
| What speaker cable for Martin Logan motion series (AMT) tweeter. @bobrock +1 to what @soix said and what about the Mogami speaker cables do you not like now? What are you looking for more or less of out of the sound? btw, for reference I also run ML Motion Series in my Home Theater and use silver-over-copper c... | |
