| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Listened to the GM cables in my system for a little while yesterday and today. They didn't sound quite as good as they did on Friday when they were straight off the cable cooker. Since they are still just 10 days old I am assuming they are still... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I let the GM cables break-in for 100 hrs on the cable cooker while I tended to clients this week. After three stressful days of presentations to my largest client, finally got to reinstall and listen to my GM speaker cables. All I can say i... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Yes Hansen is still making speakers. You'd hardly know it because it's virtually impossible to reach them.They came out with a Prince V3 about 2 years ago. I bought these V2 speakers sight unseen having never heard them because I've never seen a... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Ozzy,I have the cables burning in on the cable cooker and will (hopefully) have time to evaluate on Friday.As far as buying more CT cables, I want to get a handle on how everything sounds first. I have some pretty expensive cables in the system no... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I got my pair of Graphene Matrix Speaker Cables today.First impressions, wow what a friggin beast. When I first opened the box I thought the cables were pretty thick but reminded me of old MIT music hose cables I had 20 years in terms of diamet... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? I purchased and installed a Synergistic Blue outlet to replace my Oyaide - XXX. The Blue immediately seemed quieter to me (less grain) but right out of the box it’s compressed dynamically and in terms of soundstage. Everything does sound pretty ’o... | |
| Hansen The Prince V2 - Question Speakers are about 5 years old but look brand new.If Hansen is out of business it would be very, very recent because their website appears updated and has a 2018 date.I will be able to determine thread size once the speaker arrives. I was trying ... | |
| Hansen The Prince V2 - Question I did, yesterday. That # is out of service. When I looked them up in the online phone book there was no listing. They don't respond to e-mails either.I get the speakers next week. I hope the sound quality is a lot better than their customer se... | |
| Hansen The Prince V2 - Question I could do that but there really are more than 2 possibilities. I am ASSUMING it’s a metric size because Hansen is a Canadian company. Further assuming it’s M8 or M10 because it’s a 200lb speaker. I’ll see what Herbie thinks.The footers are not ch... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Yes and no. My buddy who is a large dealer said he's still having a pretty good year. I guess not all dealers are. He wasn't slamming SF, he likes them and I traded in my Liutos to him. He just commented that he's getting a ton of calls from d... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE The dealer that told me about SF being weak had no dog in the fight. It's a guy I've done business with for 25 years. He's one of the largest used/demo dealers in the U.S. We were talking and I mentioned I was thinking about new speakers. I as... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Thanks for the reply. A close friend of mine that's a dealer told me today that Sonus Faber is completely dead in the market. He said you can hardly give the stuff away on the used market. Not that that should scare either of us. Probably just... | |
| Best Place for Pre-Owned Cables I look at eBay. I guess you have been luckier than I have. With the 10% fee ebay charges sellers (plus the 3.5% PayPal fee) it's tough to find anything cheap. I know I only sell there when I have to. | |
| Best Place for Pre-Owned Cables Dave and Troy1. I wasn’t implying that was dealer profit margin. I know how to calculate a P&L. Been doing that for two decades now.2. Dealer discount IS correct. Most lines 40% off, some 50%. Those in demand slightly less. REL is about 1/3. S... | |
| Best Place for Pre-Owned Cables I will be patient. Usedcables.com is the site I referenced selling 10+ year old cables at basically what dealer cost was then. Seriously?I saw a couple that might do the trick there then looked up vintage and saw they were near decade old. That’s ... |
