| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? Qobuz again | |
| How can I tell if I am overdriving the amp or the speakers? Please tell us your front end components and cabling on the front end. Also, give us an idea of speaker and listening positioning. Toe in etc… Thank you. | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Actually, you may be surprised how good speakers can sound near, 1 - 1.5 feet, from side walls. Depends on many factors I pointed to in a previous post. My findings based on doing many hours of listening tests with speakers not necessarily sold fo... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Very well stated @wolf_garcia ! | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? It would be nice if your posts would stop generalizing about the ignorance and ineptness of most other audiophiles. Just a thought for you today. Enjoy your music and I do find your tweaks and builds most interesting. | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Sonic priorities are subjective and definitely play a role! | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Yes indeed @johnk. I will add that sometimes looking at pictures can be misleading. I have the Fyne F704 speakers which are one model above Jim Smith’s speaker. I have also upgraded the crossovers with top notch parts. I worked with a dealer who ... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Good point on Sonic Craft! Great source. I use a heat gun to remove the adhesive lined heat shrink pretty easily with no mess. Cut a slit being careful not to gouge the connector barrel and then apply heat. The shrink separates and pulls away. Le... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Wow! Just looked. Interesting. The DH Labs is the same part based on my use of them when Vampire was out of stock. They are equally good. PC has far too many out of stocks. | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas I like the Vampire XLR connectors at Parts Connextion for the money. Pure copper and solidly built. If you have the budget, then I bet the ETI’s would sound a bit better. I only used the Vampire in my builds as they represented great sound at... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Parts Connextion is a good choice for adhesive lined heat shrink. I have had good luck with these also, https://www.amazon.com/inch-Adhesive-Diameter-Protector-MILAPEAK/dp/B07CVX4KT4 | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas @rixthetrick I have used ETI RCA plugs only. I liked then. In the end I liked the KLEI just as much for lower cost. I have not tried their bananas and bet they are very good! The Viborg option was based on the great value they represent.... | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas Erik, the ones I linked you to are a great choice. I have used a plethora of brands over the years. These are the real deal and priced right. The only ones that sound better are the KLEI bananas, but they are fragile and solder only. | |
| Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas These are great. Use double walled, adhesive lined heat shrink tubing over the barrel as your finishing touch. Sound good and lock in very securely. Build quality is high. https://www.amazon.com/Viborg-Locking-Connectors-Receiver-Amplifiers/dp/... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @larryi Have you heard the latest version of the Horning Aristotle Ellipse PM65. Spectacular! Love to compare it to the Cube Audio offerings. No resistors or inductors in the Horning. Only one cap on the tweeter. True full range performance ... |
