Perhaps on a given planet it might make sense to use a Tannoy DMT 10 or Sterling HE as the Oops channel AND the Always On Channel, just by swapping or switching the cables, per function? I mention it because these are two potenti...

Seriously, those rear firing woofers (with bass reflex, driven by SET and only internal passive speaker covers) could be one point worth ridicule. The length of the cables, and size and probable acoustic deadness of the room, might be others. There...

I have no dog in this fight, in fact I have even no opinion on the subject. However, the subject is kind of fascinating and ridicules at the same time.
The guys who sell digital audio and all of those NAS storages f...

Hi, anyone sending their internet connection around the house via the electrical cables (CPL in french)? It would make my life a lot easier if I could do that but was wondering if it would have an impact on the hi-fi sound. I can't really try before...

I just thought it outrageous for Fremer, of all people, to be accusing anyone else of hypocrisy for offering incentives to those who sell his products, when Fremer is a freakin' audio reviewer, of all the preposterous things. A particularly cowardly ...

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...

Ok, what would believe…. but I am in needs to get another phonostage. Te older I become the lazier I become and there is no way I would switch those cables form tonearms again. Also, each time I switch the cables the unused cables drops behind my rac...

The normal audiophile has a problem when he marries first and wants to add a good Stereo System later.One of my friends did it right, he bought his system first and married later, before he did that he showed all to his girlfriend and said "You know,...

Why are cables generally so absurd?I looked again myself and had a hard time finding it, so:http://www.thecableco.com/product.php?id=4047More $ but less work than DIY.Keep us posted.Best,Paul...

Paul, thank you for your input. I think it is better to keep with AN UK cables then. :-)...

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...

[quote user="Stitch"]One of my audiophile Friends did it the only way a real man has to do (he had a HUGE stereo System with 2 big monos and fat cables everywhere in his living room)He showed that his girlfriend (they married btw.) and said to her:"Y...

[quote user="miab"]I have not seen it mentioned but I might of missed it. The PurePower absolutely demands shielded interconnects especially between preamp and amp in my experience. No matter how careful I route the cables, I was getting noise or buz...

I think it is time, today being both my birthday and the day when I received the first updates from Russ regarding the frames for my 'Rakeshorns' system, for an update. The idea behind the frame was to have a construction that both provided a fai...

[quote user="Amir"]these are my findings about computer audio after some trial error:1. computer audio is very very hardware/OS/software dependent. computer structure is multi task (time sharing) and using it as a real time single task processor is n...

From my short encounter so far, when it works, it works great. When it does not, it's a hell. I'm waiting for reply from PP, perhaps I'm overlooking something (not cables and not ground loops). ...

Well I don't know for sure about nirvana but we need to keep remembering that we have comparisons of battery operated (AC disconnected) audio devices that provide a control or criterion of sorts as we do in cables with bypass devices. So the maximum ...

I do not like on Connex that I cannot use tools to tight the post hard. With my kind of cables and the spades that they use the force of my fingers is not enough to tight the binding posts. BTW, there are some people who feel that the force of bind...

Even if we assume that this thing really "works" - does it not show fundamental problems in the design of the equipment usually placed north and south of these cables? Maybe highest end audio is wrought with impedance/reactance/capacitive and resista...

but it sounds like you just described the Nordost Valhalla cables, just after they break in, just before the HF shimmer short circuits. Or, maybe Nordost has fixed the part where they age badly with the Mk II, SE, the same way PAD fixed the old flui...

We have made a decision that we do go for the hardwood floors in listening room. We end up with unfinished quarter sawn red oak with Vermister" waterbase urethane. We will try to render the project in September.
This will imply to remove the w...

I'm also very interested in this also but can't find anyone that as used it.Also if anyone has used there Power Cables would like to know what they think....

That is very interesting post Romy. I noticed that I have changed a lot of CD-Players and Dacs over the years until I found the sound I wanted, but only had to change my Tuner once, and my analog playback has been the same for years and years n...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Wow, 6 x 15" drivers (!!!); though the curved profile certainly imparts rigidity, I'm guessing this horn must resonate more than a bit (no bracing until the mouth) -- but I like this thing.
Interesting, the phase plug-lik...

[quote user="drdna"] I can tell you already it will work. I have experimented extensively with adding lengths of metal to cables. It works well, but you can do a lot more by fine-tuning the amount of metal and in fact adjusting it slightly from l...

Hi Romy and Company:
My CD player has seen better days so I did some research and though you might be interested in my experience with the "Music server" concept. Punchline: fun, sounds great and is very convenient!
You can create your own aud...

Hi Romy and all,
first of all, my name is Henry, with a "Y". due to an Irish grand-grand-grand father called "O'Henry". the O' was deleted when my grand-grand father was born, due to a silly servant of registry office. :-) all my horns uses the calc...

Finally, it has happened. Sound. Two weeks ago I had a couple of mates help me carry up and install the first DSET on its pedestal on the horn stack. It was quite a bit of effort and three were definitely required for the heavy but delicate operat...
