| Need 25 foot interconnects I'm running 20' RCA cables and it didn't make a difference in sound when I used a 3' RCA cable, I compared them in the same room with the same equipment. I'm not saying your balanced output may not sound better, but I don't think that going from ... | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects I dunno @nymarty - I would do the XLRs either yourself or from some place like BlueJeans with a star quad shielded wire and the XLRs. Then just use the Neutrix to XLR jobs which are $10-$15 each. If there is not hum you are done. And if there is ... | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects I would get Mogami Neglex star quad and some ProFi ends. You‘ ll be way better off with the MBs at the speaker. However it is probably best to use that Neglex (or Cardis, Canare, etc) star-quad and fit it with XLRs. Then back at the monoblocks... | |
| Order of importance and budget percentages So you already have passive speakers @systembuilder ? The speaker cables are generally more important than ICs, expect maybe TT IC. | |
| Order of importance and budget percentages I would forget buying piecemeal and split the budget 15% room treatments, 10% power conditioner, 25% for source (s) and 50% on active speaker system like the KEK LS60, the Devilet Phantoms, the Dynaudio Focus XD series, etc. That certainly cuts... | |
| Wilson tiny tots You could start with a $70 AIYAMA A-07 and at least listen to them. It is not a bad amp… but it is just an amp… So one could do the TV or the CD or… just not TV and CD. And they peddle those amps on Amazon. Then you can listen and take your time ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @juanmanuelfangioii Easy there sport. No need to go on an ASR attack. holmz go back to ASR where you wear the badge of honor as a super donor I am a not Donor, much less a super donor. This thread about Atmasphere amps, and Ralph would ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Maybe someone should send the counterfeit Odin 2 to Ralph and have it evaluated on the amp? | |
| Order of importance and budget percentages What are you envisioning for your new system? a wire with gain… 😍 | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing My reply today is for anyone who may not be totally impressed with Ralph's GaN amps. I don't have them, but I do own a GaN amp (MSRP $3000) for about a year. I have been powering it with a Chinese counterfeit Odin 2 PC and connected from my dac/p... | |
| Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding The Kate Bush song is called 'Wuthering Heights'..... yeah the title, “It’s me, I’m Kathy” did not work… 😁 | |
| another arm/cart question (long post) I am not sure about how one would tell about the chatter wth knife edge bearings. But I did put on a Korf head shell and the sibilance seem pretty much gone except for the loudest pressings and is only on a few LPs now. | |
| Phono Stage Upgrade @4krowme which 4? | |
| Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding That Bax stuff is nice @newbee ! There is also Vagner’s “Ring Cycle”. and Kate Bush’s “Heathcliff.” and Benjamin Clement’s ‘Winston Churchill’s Boy” The historic references crosses a many a gendre… | |
| different people may hear the same sound differently... It is getting a bit metaphysical. There is only one piano, regardless if 1 person or 100 are in the audience. if the reproduced piano sounds like the real one, then it is “job done.” If it doesn’t then the EQ or equipment changes to make it more ... |
