| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound Sean: 0"What the audioholics article is/should be really implying is, for example, that connections are critical for, say RF (i.e. it simply won't work) and uncritical for audio frequencies (i.e. it WILL work -- but perhaps badly, i.e. with high l... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound !!!Transmission line theory does not apply at audio frequencies, unless your cable is a minimum of 500 feet long, and even then this is at 100 kHz and 1/10th a wavelength!!!There is no debating this, not b/c I mention it, but b/c this is physical ... | |
| Anti-cables alternatives Go to home depot (etc.) and buy a 500 ft spool of solid copper wire with the shiny thin red insulation. Get: 12 SOL THHN or THWN RED T90 NYLON or TWN75 600V, made in USA. American Insulated Wire Corp. THen go to, say parts express or Michael Percy... | |
| Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp? ARC 100.2: Refined, detailed, awesome presence, easy to listen too. Warm... tube like....? Not sure too subjective... but it's the best solid state for my system (Dynaudio 1.8 MK II, LS-15 pre, Marantz 8001, AZ cabling). I used to have DNA 0.5, DN... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? 1) enjoy what you have2) stop visiting the internet sites including audiogon (if this makes it through it will be a miracle)3) throw away useless piles of audio rags4) take a ~2 week break on listening to music.I think 2 and 3 are more important t... | |
| Listening out of the Sweet Spot - What Works? You have to to ask? Why the biggest jar of MD Brilliant Pebbles near your listening vantage point, of course silly. Don't you know? The molecular structure of the BP vibrates in lockstep with the phase irregularites to make sure the teeny tiny flu... | |

| Aragon 4004mkII OR Adcom GFA 555 II Totally agree with Csmgolf.The 8002 is underrated, for whatever reason. I used this amp with my THiel 2.2s and Dynaudio 1.8 MKII's. It drove them very well and maintained a nice coherent sound at very high levels in my mid-sized room. This series ... | |
| Beginner/ Starter cables I suggest you stick with clean, tight connections, as short runs as possible, and with the likes of kimber, signal cable, blue jeans, etc. Once the rest of your system, including the all important (and often overlooked) room acoustics, are up to y... | |
