| RCA to XLR cable question. I would just go with the XLR. You'll feel better, have more peace of mind about your choice, and be more confident that you went with the very best available option in the end. And XLR will sound better, to boot. Happy listening. | |
| AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound? I use a JPS Labs Aluminata power cable on my Hegel H590 and it's the most uncolored PC I've used on it yet. Another neutral PC that I would highly recommend would be the Audioquest Firebird (source) power cable, which I use on my DAC. I could s... | |
| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable You could go either way. They're both excellent brands. Suggestions and recommendations from others to get you started has it's place and can be very helpful, to a certain extent. However, there is just no replacing in-home auditions on your ow... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @classicrockfan Yes, I do have some Audioquest cables in my audio system and I do love them all. However, I have no idea how I could’ve given anyone the impression that I was an AQ dealer. I think you were just being facetious. At any rate, about ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Very insightful. Why shouldn't you be thoroughly believed. The proof is in the pudding!!! Either there's a discernible difference or there's not. No rocket science involved here. Hopefully, the AQ dealer will give an unbiased assessment, as w... | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer Not me!!! I'm perfectly happy with and satisfied with my 3 year old Nucleus Plus unit, which I'll be enjoying for years to come. All my high end audio purchases are carefully selected with the intention of me keeping them for the long-haul, and ... | |
| My new Borresen X3's No, the answer is to buy something great and just be satisfied with it for many years and stop chasing the next shinny penny that's just around to corner. Happy listening. | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer @ boucher, I don’t know about your Auralic Aries Femo with sBooster power supply. I’m sure they’re swell. At least to your ears. Anyway, prior to installing iFi, my source wasn’t inherently noisy or abnormally noisy. However, iFi along with the ot... | |
| My new Borresen X3's I’m not a borresen owner or dealer, but I’ve heard the X3 speakers a couple times, and I was absolutely blown away by them each time. And that’s saying a lot for me, an old audiophile who’s heard more than his share of great speakers over the yea... | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer @boucher Sorry to hear about your very rare negative experience with the iSilencer. I have three iSilencers in my system to brilliant effect. Happy listening. | |
| Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching. There's always been more than one way to skin a cat to achieve the best possible sound quality in any given audio rig. And, cabling is no exception. It's all good, whether you go with a full loom of the same cable brand or not. It all depends o... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Revel Salon 2 speakers!!! | |
| Beryllium Tweeters Any metal dome or ribbon tweeter can be bright depending on what you use for cabling and electronics with them. | |
| Audiophile frame of mind Well, as an experienced audiophile for over 25 years, I’m here to tell you something that you probably already know. You can delay the purchase of the upgraded cables all you want. But, the desire is still there, and it’ll always be there, nagging... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? Nope!!!! Never happened to me. Over the years, every single time I've changed or upgraded a power cable, whether it be for an amp or any other component, I always heard some kind of change in their sound. Sometime the change in sound was subtle... |
