| Need advice on rich sounding cables RichardS,Apologies for not seeing your post earlier. My speaker cables are not appropriate in bi-wire configuration, and sound far worse than a single pair with jumpers....Bi-amped is fine, but I think you're being kind in saying anything positive... | |
| Power Cables you like with Merrill Veritas Amps Hifial,Thank you for the kind words. Indeed, these power cords started their development intended for Class D amps, specifically Merrill's lovely Veritas monoblocs. Merrill provided me a pair of the monoblocks and I endeavored to make an cord spec... | |
| Kaplan Cable GS MK2 Cable review Bill - Thank you for the wonderful review! I really can't add anything other than GS stands for Gobsmacked, not 'God Smack'.I'm certainly pleased with myself over my latest GS mkII versions, but there are limits to my hubris.Again, many thanks for... | |
| Kaplan GS vs. Kubala Sosna Emtiions Speaker Cables Joseph,The Positive Reedback review was of the power cords. There is a review of the GS speaker cables in Audiophilia -http://www.audiophilia.com/wp/?p=4794where it was awarded an 'Audiophilia Star Component' award, fwiw.It wouldn't be appropriate... | |
| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord Indeed, Hubbell makes some excellent products. Specifically, if you're looking for a 'bang for the buck' upgrade for your system, if you've typical residential grade outlets in your wall, replacing it with a HBL5362 (20amp) or HBL5262 (15amp) rece... | |
| PC Recommendation for Furman Conditioner Should anyone be surprised that $7,000+ of Synergistic power cords and conditioning was much preferred to $1,550 of KaplanCable power cords and conditioning? I'm certainly not.Nor am I surprised that that same KaplanCable complement of cords and c... | |
| PC Recommendation for Furman Conditioner Bryan,Its hard conveying the subjective without having similar frames of reference. If I had to describe the copper/copper or copper/brass 20a cords, I'd opine they are most similar to a Hubbell HBL5362 receptacle, which was actually what I was ai... | |
| PC Recommendation for Furman Conditioner Bhoage, You could give Mr. Cline at TelWire a call and see if he could provide an appropriate IEC to meet your needs.As to why I offer the Hubbell brass contact h320c 20amp IEC on the KaplanCable as an option, its because it works very well with t... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? How can one tell when Mr. Nance is being disingenuous, dishonest, and duplicitous?His lips are moving or his fingers are typing.My unit uses an Airpax breaker switch which I have found to be far superior sonically to the breaker I was once going ... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? D911, I had assumed in my comments about that ludicrous 20amp breaker, that you are familiar with the time/trip characteristics of circuit breakers. My mistake. In an effort to save both life and property of your unsuspecting potential market, you... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Eric, I post as Occam on AudioCircles and Harmonic Discord, all other boards I post a pmkap. As you can see above, I freely acknowledged this prior to your enquiry here. Discord and Circles are the last boards I joined, and the moniker is a refere... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Satfrat,Indeed, I am Occam over on AudioCircles. But unlike Dandy Don, I only post under one name on each forum. No pudpuppets for me! Please don't misunderstand me, I don't doubt that the SLA, as is, or with a few $hundreds max, at retail from a ... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? From d911's website -"This is the mod that has to be heard to be believed. It is quite extensive and employs new sheet metal, computer grade capacitors huge chokes, 20 amp breakers, Cardas binding posts and RCA's and many more additions."http://ww... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Sean,I believe we simply has a difference over nomenclature. By ladder I'm referring to an attenuatior which switches both a single series resistor and a single shunt resistor for each attenuation level. This has a number of benefits in that it mi... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? d911,I just visited your website, and would like to ask a question about your reference upgrade. As I understand it, it includes your standard mods, plus dual mono attenuators to replace the stock detented potentiometers. Are these Shallco based a... |
