| Another Speaker Recommendation Request What are your musical tastes? Some speakers reveal everything, but cannot "boogie", so if "swing" music is your thing, you might not want that type of speaker. That's the first question that should be asked.So, a bit more information might yield n... | |
| Nola contender tweeters - modify? I cannot imagine, having owned 4 or 5 models of Nola speakers, that tweeter harshness is likely.I have Contender 1s, and I’ve never heard them sound like that - except for when they were first breaking in (weeks of continuous play, which you would... | |
| Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference? Ah, someone with experience. I tried an Alpha NR recently and didn’t keep it (which I note I did not mention in my original post). What did you experience with the Alpha and Sigma in your system and were they both the "NR" designation? I have some... | |
| Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference? I've had every generation of Shunyata power cords ever made, and most of the models, including the Sigma Analogue, Sigma NR, The Alpha HC, The Alpha NR (the last three current), the initial ZiTrons (Cobra and Python), the CX Python and so on.And ... | |
| Best Shunyata Power Cord for.,, The Sigma NR is quite a jump up from the Sigma Analogue, in my experience. There is more "there" there. Even with modest electronics, the dynamic "jump" on an NAD C325BEE is surprising, never mind ASL Hurricanes. | |
| Shunyata CX cables People like the "coloration" that the CX generation provided. I didn't notice the coloration (manifested as warmth over the entire frequency spectrum), until I got ZiTron cables. I actually re-purchased a CX to see how it sounded after I acclimat... | |
| Need quick Shunyata answer Yes. Although Shunyata had a previous generation, called the "Alpha" (ZiTron) cables, the Alpha HC is a newer ZiTron generation. | |
| FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard I have used an FIM 880 for many years. I also have the Furutech NCF and Prior Furutech generation, Furutech GTD Rhodium, Oyaide R-1, Maestro, Furutech 101, PS audio PPP, and standard PS Audio outlets (blue). I’ve been living with the Maestro for s... | |
| RIP Dave Wilson I just learned of Dave's passing an hour ago. What is there to say? I'm very sad to read this. I knew Dave back when he was in Novato, CA and had just put out the WATTS. I got a pair and was enchanted.He was a very accessible man. I asked him to ... | |
| Shunyata Alpha/Delta NR Line. I wouldn’t say that cables are "system dependent." I would say that many people have tailored their system towards a certain "type" of sound and when a cable comes in that contributes less to the sound, it can be mistakenly thought that it is the ... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 So, I’ve had the Delta NR for around 10 days now. And I think I see the difference in the Alpha HC and the Delta NR.The Delta NR has a slightly "fuller" sound. It is not at the expense of transparency at all: it is just more powerful-sounding than... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 If you have not yet purchased that Transparent, might I suggest doing the 60-day trial at Music Direct and getting a Shunyata Delta NR? If you don’t like it, just return it before the 60 days is up. No re-stocking fee.I say this because the Delta ... | |
| Shunyata Zitron Cobra vs Transparent Reference G5 I would NOT advise the CX line: there is a built-in warmth which colors the entire frequency presentation. You would do FAR better with a Python ZiTron (I have both the Cobra ZiTron and the Python Citron): the Python is (naturally) better, sonical... | |
| Townshend Maximum Super Tweeters Ribbons, Amazing Results Definite Keepers I did not find them a good match for the Nola Contenders, which surprised me. | |
| Shunyata Sigma Analog vs Alpha Analog - Need advice!! Mikey, I believe I said the old Furutech RHODIUM version was more bleached out, not the Gold. As for outlets? Ps Audio Power Ports, and PS Audio PPP; Synergistic Tesla Plex, and then The Synergistic Tesla Plex SE version; Oyaide R1, and some other... |
