I think considering carbon cables for limited frequency range is not a bad idea.van den hul have some carbon cables, they never improved their carbon cable but current models in my idea have a good sound.carbon have some restriction but in a proper c...

I think Utopia is alittle soft with less sharpness than wilson , I have no idea but maybe one of the reasons is internal wiring of utopia.personally i prefer wilson but in this level of difference maybe choosing right cable and upstream help compensa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Whoever follows this thread of mine note my exuberant reaction to the new fixed PP2000. What however I discover today is that for the last few days, right after the snow storm, the quality of electricity in my lines is ...

J, I mean no disrespect when I say it is not about you - at all.It is certainly not my place to instruct, and I am not interested in any aspect of the Monster Cable vs. coathanger (vs' "audiophiles") "controversy".Best regards,Paul S

The truth of the matter is that I believe that true quality has nothing do with audio systems, high resolution or otherwise.How many good musicians are audiophiles? and does it matter?They can listen via an Internet Radio and enjoy as the music is in...

Romy, do not forget Miab's valuable information about what happens in "unconditioned" spaces and how this relates to stuff that does not like condensate, extreme temperatures or temperature swings.I keep my amps in full view near the speakers for 2 r...

Amir,You can try to connect Toslink cable to your MacBook headphone jack, if your model supports this. In my case, it made a huge difference vs the USB interface. And then you can compare it to Toslink output from your CEC. Unfortunately, different s...

If you want to make God laugh - tell him about your audio plans!Or on a more serious note, I would tell people that they should align their cable budget with what they spent on the last anniversary gift of their compagnon, you have to keep this hobby...

Hi Romy, I am a little behind the times as regards internet radio, etc.. Can I run some sort of cable to listen to these stations on my audio installation, or is it just for listening on the computer sound ?Thanks,R Weissman...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance...

The question is not really "off Topic", tuga (this is a cable thread), but it's pretty close to fishing, IMO, and that makes me jumpy.I would really hate to see this thread go so soon where it was doomed to go from the start (hence, th...

Hello RomyI had a friend pick up the Expressive from the seller for me. I am a little disapointed in the physical apperance as there are a few scratches and the seller thinks I a crazy for saying so.I haven't tried it yet as my friend still has...

Miab, are you juts selling them of you use then as well? The reason I ask is because if you have too many of them then you might try to make one Balanced Synapses cable from two single ended. I know people tried - I do not know how successful they w...

Hello all,I recently bought a Purepower 2000. The unit buzzes loudly at about 70% load (buzzing is softer at lower loads).The buzz can also be heard through the speakers and is very annoying.If I disconnect the mains cable to the Purepower, the noise...

Hmmm, the steel tension rods remind me of this:Note the graceful arcing member that in your case, is analogues to the rafters.Unless you make these horns super heavy, my guess is you won't need the rods. In the event you do, you might as well make th...

I just - finally - checked the Acoustic Revive cable for continuity, and both legs are good. So I took off the threaded sleeves that tighten the male jacks onto the females, and that was it - just as I've LONG suspected, but never bothered to verify...

I can only offer a simple solution to this problem.Decide on which row you wish to place digital services. I would also include anything that has a switched mode power supply because of the Y capacitor thing. Assume Row 1 will be used for digital s...

Unless they process it somehow (cry?). I was going to order copper bus bars from a machinist friend but I realized copper as it is is way too soft for reliable screwed cable connections.M4 or M5 screws hosted in copper will not stand much torque and ...
