| XLO Signature and Reference Interconnects I have seen some clear out prices from Audio Connexion also. Don’t know- maybe the company name was bought recently and someone is reproducing cables again using the XLO name hoping people will jump on them? Compare your dealers prices with these.... | |
| Music server recommendations needed. @russbutton Iʻd run a pair of the Dutch & Dutch 8c Well I am in agreement with you there. There is something appealing and liberating about the Grimm MU1 & LS1 setup as well, I hope to hear it one day. | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @lanx0003 Well, if you are going to make a claim without backing it up with any scientific data or proof, then this is purely anecdotal, and should be dismissed as uncredible. why would anyone bother adding something unnecessary or unbenefici... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Here is a PC streamer that, in addition to supporting SFP, checks every audiophile box. Barebones price is 3900 € but I quickly customized it to 9660 €. It's a useful template for state of the art PC streaming though. https://griggaudio.de/prod... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @lanx0003 In such cases, the additional conversion step could introduce unnecessary complexity or even compromise sound quality due to the increased signal path. Do you have a graph showing the evidence of the compromised sound quality? | |
| Music server recommendations needed. @russbutton You do realize your LP12 is the same as a Thorens. I can find one on eBay for $165. Vinyl is vinyl. But hey, Expectations create reality. If you expect some thing to make a certain kind of change, then thatʻs what youʻre looking f... | |
| Silver spades How many different threads on spades did you plan on starting? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/gold-coated-brass-speaker-spades https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/cardas-spades https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/unplated-copper-... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I see the op has gone back to Harbeths :) | |
| power cable tryout High fidelity cables has me wondering..... need suggestions now The last Mcintosh pre and power system I listened to and tried to put some different (better) cables on led me to believe Mcintosh gear was rather unyielding to cable changes, and this was with $40,000 speakers. I still have no idea why any differ... | |
| Power cord upgrade Also Hijiri. On my "must try list". Along with that other Japanese cable manufacturer Acrolink, which I believe was a division of Hitachi metals; they could be believed to have the true 7N copper, they claim to use it. | |
| Power cord upgrade @devinplombier It is certainly not significant to a component’s sound quality Perhaps not, all it does is prove one particular cable can handle more current than the other. It was just my response to someone who keeps claiming all one needs i... | |
| Power cord upgrade @zuesman I see. I know all about OCC, I used to use Audio Sensibility products and am aware of the personal relationship Steve Huang has with Dr. Ohno. If there is someone who actually has the real OCC stuff I would wager on him. They are great p... | |
| Power cord upgrade @devinplombier That's 500A, which should cover pretty much any audio-related use case many times over. Does it though? I found it surprising also, it is a 20 amp circuit and he is pulling 1000 amps out of it. Apparently audio is not a hair dr... | |
| Power cord upgrade @zuesman I have seen you write this a few times in various threads. I can buy 24ga OCC wire for $2.20 CDN per metre. Given one needs 20 strands of this to make a 10ga power cable, the wire would cost me $44 per metre or $88 CDN for a 2m power cab... | |
| Power cord upgrade @hce1 Well said, you write well. The irony is those who profess science are usually the ones without any formal education in science, and attempt to "inform" those of us with science degrees how it all works, because they have "all the answers... |
