| Gold coated brass speaker spades $100...200 per pair of (*fake) Siltech were too pricey and unnecessary. I use mostly studio grade wires that are a lot cheaper than home-audiophile grades and a lot more sincere. Well, there it is. Why pay anymore when $20 cables conduct electr... | |
| Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review @classicrockfan I am well aware you flat-earthers think you can pull out a glorified multi-meter and take 3 simple parameters of a piece of copper and think you know what it sounds like, but you are all wrong. Oh wait, you think they all sound t... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @arafiq just caught this thread- how you gettin on with these? The Cardas setup for dipoles is a good starting point, George has had the 3 series for many years. Try the Limage setup and see if you like that: https://www.audioasylum.com/messa... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Not interested in any of these DAC’s, as I am happy with mine, but really admire and appreciate your obviously many hours of hard work (and fun?) in comparing these units @mitch2 . | |
| Power cord upgrade @zlone I know the Puritans take about two weeks to break in, but after five days of painful listening with terrible, etched highs, I had to swap out the cord for 20A Shunyata I had laying around. This quickly resolved that problem Interesting... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC @jymc but given this: You are well aware of the role "synergy" plays in a particular system of assembled components, not to mention the effect of the room itself. why would this matter? Buy a couple of plane tickets if necessary and audition... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs any similar priced DAC After almost a years time the OP most certainly made a choice- @seadog137 what was your verdict? | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades Yes both the Furutech GTX-D (both gold and rhodium plated) are UL rated, as is my second favorite Oyaide R-1. I own both, and just double checked them Confirmed, it actually states that at the beginning of the second video I posted above, and o... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades It states this under their FPX outlets, but it is not underneath the GTX outlets, so not sure.... SPECIFICATIONS All non-magnetic α (Alpha) Phosphor bronze Conductor All models c(UL) approved Unique pin insert construction ensures increased... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades Well, of course we know copper does sound better as it has less resistance, only bettered by silver, and Shunyata’s top cables are all a blend of silver and Ohno copper. In regards to the outlets a little research shows that pure copper does not ... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades @mpomerantz Just re-realized Shunyata's outlets are brass, can't sound that bad if Caelin produces and sells them, so yeah, maybe sometimes we overthink things. SR-Z1 outlet | |
| Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review @classicrockfan The best power conditioner is NO power conditioner... nothing between the wall receptacles and the audio unit, except for a power cord The best power power cord is the stock power cord that comes with the unit Provide the sci... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing Sorry in advance @kdoerner but due to the natural progression of conversations as it were... If we don't have protection, many Hi-Fi's are going to be fried while we sleep. All the more reason to consider adding a quality power device to you... | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades "some very nice sounding speaker cables" This is what matters. It all comes down to budget- whether the manufacturer feels it is worth it to spend another $100 to construct those cables with better sounding copper connectors, or to leave the c... | |
| Check This Out! When a PhD electrical engineer specializing in computing and fluid mechanics gets together with a guy with a masters in soil mechanics and they develop a DAC this is what it looks like Doesn't bother me at all; I like unique. |
