| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! There are no absolutes but always prefer modern/newer to older components SQ especially SS excluding NOS small signal tubes.I'm very familiar with older Krells FPB600, FPB700 ...and would NEVER consider them in 2018.@minorl just curious, what ol... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Yes Geoff, now that you hit 10,000 posts, can 20,000 be very far away? Nope, Geoffkait going after Mapman for Don't Have A Life! LOL!!! | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I never pay retail for anything ... Gryphon is no different. To my surprise purchasing a car, salesman told me 90%+ buyers don't negotiate and pay sticker + whatever markup. Most just don't like or know how to negotiate. | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects I have always had the best results using short speaker cable and longer interconnects, balanced or single-ended, especially with tube amps+1. I have monos with short speaker cables. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @lak You're a good guy. A little naive ... hope your patience pays off. :-) | |
| Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire @grannyring . I'm going to build XLR with 2 16ga runs so can you recommend a braided copper shield and sellers?BTW, I did twists the 12ga speaker wires.Thanks! | |

| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I have posted this before ( as well as in other threads ). Everything in audio requires break in. The more revealing of the system ( includes room acoustics ), the more obvious the breakin becomes. +1 Evaluating component is a marathon NOT a sprin... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @grm, Try Supra CAT 8https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supra-CAT-8-STP-patch-cable-1-meter-Made-In-Sweden-THE-BEST-FOR-NETWORK-AUD...Sounds best in my system and least expensive. | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? My proposal is that gear that is susceptible to a change in a short length of Ethernet cable is faulty. My proposal is that gear that is NOT susceptible to a change in a short length of Ethernet cable, need to replace POS gear! | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Yeah good.Testing out affordable amps $2k - $10k is a lot more interesting than nitpicking on those super hi end amps $20k - 50k. Always excited shootout between Corolla vs Civic. Happy Listening and Keep ME posted!!! | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? I have never said or implied anything that would be suggestive of a high degree of correlation between cable performance and cable price, when it comes to ethernet cables. And in fact several of the improvements I and a number of others have r... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @jinjukuIMO, whether Ethernet cable a factor is function to DAC buffer size. Bigger the buffer, less factor. Ideally DAC buffers the whole album, then anything before the DAC is not a factor ... play back from memory. Companies probably maki... |
