| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @roxy54@soix@ghosthouse@lancelock@shkong78Thanks for the kind words and suggestions. It was my first time making a post here and didn't know the discussion thread would get active this quickly :-( I honestly don't think I can keep up with all the... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables I think I should add some clarification to point #3. If "system dependent" means someone might prefer cable A while another might prefer cable B, then yes, I agree that cables are system dependent, wholeheartedly.What I meant in the original post ... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @geoffkait Ah ok but all of them had an arrow printed on them. | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @millercarbon "Simply handling a cable, wiggling it around connecting and disconnecting, is enough to affect the sound" - That’s interesting and I would love to try it. But I don’t know how easy it would be to separate these two different actions ... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @geoffkait All of the ones I tried had the signal flow printed on the cables and I never bothered experimenting with going against what the manufacturer was telling me to do. But it would be interesting. | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @motokokusanagiYes you are right; we don't hoard all the cables we purchase. I don't think my wife would understand it although she's generally very understanding toward my hobby, and even encourages me to buy the top of the line (and expensive) s... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @inna About more expensive cables being better than others IN GENERAL, I am actually open to that possibility. I was only saying the price wasn't a reliable indicator of sound quality with the cables I have personally used. I am only reporting my ... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @rnabokov I guess I should have written "I felt like I was hearing the upper and bottom frequencies more clearly with these cables". Never meant to be scientific. And I am open to the possibility that all this is in my imagination ;-) | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @elizabeth The personal observations other members posted here meant something to me and helped me more than any professional review I've read. That's why I shared mine here. Just to contribute a little after many years of getting free help from o... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @jayctoy Yup I know. And I don't mind people disagreeing with me :-)And maybe my understanding of the definition of "system dependent" is different from that of others and maybe even wrong. I am just trying to report my observations in case they a... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @jtcf "do you mean if you swap ic A between various components in your system that it always sounds the same?For instance ic A between Dac and pre sounds exactly the same as between pre and amp?Just curious:)I always have a preference as to where ... | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @lancelock Thanks! I will try Cerious if I ever see it coming up here for sale | |
| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @roberjermanFor me the runner up was Harmonic Technology Pro Silway. But I have a feeling many people would prefer Audioquest Sky or Columbia actually. To me, they sounded a bit too smooth, pleasant and soft compared to other brands | |
| LS50 and Big Fat Dots I ordered the Big Dots and am curious if they would be an improvement over the cheap isolation solution I devised. I have B&W Nautilus 804 speakers (towers). Each sits on one AA battery and two chrome balls. The result is extremely satisfying ... | |
| Can B&W Seres 80 802 Sound This Good? Hi Jerry - Thank goodness I stumbled upon your review here! I might make an offer on this 802 Series 80 but am hesitant since many people regard them as not so good speakers. Would you kindly inform me as to why they are rated so poorly? And I am ... |
