| Techflex on speaker cable: sonic impact? It's not the techflex per se. By tightly coupling the conductors, you have increased capacitance. | |
| Power strip recommendation. If you only need six outlets or less, try the Cryo-Parts strip. I have one and it's well made and does not limit current like some devices do. I replaced a PS Audio Quintet conditioner with the Cryo-Parts and did notice increased micro-dynamics in... | |
| Cardas ICs are too warm for Tube amp I recently heard a system with all Cardas Clear. This was at a dealer playing Wilson Alexandrias driven by VTL electronics.It had the characteristic Cardas sound, i.e., warm, slow and lacking excitement. I'm sure system synergy plays a role but th... | |
| Power cord for GamuT? You should check out the WyWires Juice PC. I use one in my Esoteric SA60. Excellent. Check out the comments on Audio Circle. | |
| Anyone tried Wywire yet? Also, the company name is WyWires, not WyWire | |
| Anyone tried Wywire yet? There are multiple reviews on Positive Feedback Online - Very positive! Available for sale at CryoParts. | |
| Grand Veena and ? speaker cable WyWires cables were designed with Refrence 3A speakers as the primary speaker. | |
| Can Interconnects be converted to speaker cables I would not advise doing this. Speaker cables require a much larger gauge conductor than is typically used in an interconnect cable. | |
| Capacitance and mathematics Cable manufacturers who reveal capacitance do so as a per foot or per meter metric, without any connectors. Connectors will add capacitance, more or less based on their design. | |
| What material best for a custom amp stand Personally, I like maple wood. It's economical, dampens vibration and should be at least 3 inches thick with isolation spikes. I believe there is a guy making these types of stands to custome specs here on Audiogon. | |
| Silver vs cryogenic treated copper As has been stated, It's all in the ear of the beholder. More important than the actual metallurgy is the geometry of the conductors as well as the dielectric materials and their interaction. LCR parameters are affected more by the cable design th... | |
| Rega 700 rewire You may want to consider installing a DIN connector at the bottom of the arm mount. This way you can experiment with different phono cables without having to rewire the arm itself. Cardas makes one for about $10.00. | |
| Preamp suggestions You might consider an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A. Ususally can be had for $1000 or so. I know about the reputation for eating tubes but in my experience it's not happened. Great preamp but not the most ergonomic since no remote and two volume co... | |
| DIY ground wire Don't do it! You will experience no sonic benefit and possibly damage something. At best you will introduce noise. I heard about this too and it makes no sense at all. I listened to a talk by Gallo's VP of Marketing where he described this yesterd... | |
| Harshness in Midrange??? Any Help What AC mains cable are you using on the ML amp? |
