| Power Chords better than TWL at the price? "The male plug on the TWL power cords has the strongest fit to the AC outlet I've seen out of the many cords I've used and I'm sure plays a role in their performance."-- aren't these just entry level Furutech FI-11s? | |
| Airsine and other power cables to shortlist Thanks to both; exactly the kind of insight I wished for. Think I may look into retermination as a first option. | |
| Looking to upgrade amp Hi Scott, I've heard the Exposure and concur it's quite clean and neutral sounding.I think you might like the integrateds from Primare, Audio Analogue, and even Naim. | |
| Anyone Experienced Douglas Cables? My only purchase with Douglas' was to get a powercord using Furutech bulk cable and Wattgates. Ordering and communication were good.They run a money back guarantee, so there's no reason not to try these out.20ft is a long run - if cost is a concer... | |
| Blue Jeans Digital cable choices I've tried many coax cables, including Blue Jeans.I've found differences in sound exist, and cable performance varies depending on the components used. One of the explanations I've seen is due to the impedance measurements obtained amongst given c... | |
| Best DAC/preamp for under $2K? A few more for your list:NAD M51Cambridge 851DM2Tech Young DSD | |
| Thoughts on Clear Day vs Grover Huffman SC's? I've had both these so can comment:Clear Day - very neutral, detailed, smoothed at frequency extremes, Grover - lively, detailed, rythmic, dynamic, natural.Both very easy to use. If you want refined and neutral, go with the Clear Day, if you want ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations I totally get your description. You want a balanced sound. My best recommendation is Audience AU24(E/SE).Another is the Stereomatic LectraLine (which appears to have been upgraded / increased in price recently as a shotgun offering).You can get bo... | |
| Will I hear differences between 8TC and 12TC? The difference between 8TC and 12TC is extremely small, if even detectable. | |
| USB/SPDIF converter and DAC combinations I'm very happy with the iLink, which I got cause I also use their iUSB. Other ones to consider are the Halide Bridge and Bel Canto Reflink range. | |
| Power cord for DAC Unfortunately, it's impossible to say; you have to try cables in your system/room to say what's best.At near $200ish, I've had good luck on my DAC and digital transport with the Douglas Connection Bravo 15 (Furutech cable with Wattgate AG connecto... | |
| Anyone try Mogami Neglex for balanced interconnect It's fine and good value as a starter cable but in my system, I found it ultimately a bit forward and not as refined or rich as Grover Huffman's cables, nor Audience AU24E. | |
| Wireworld oasis 6 interconnect oppinionins It's the Equinox but they're close enoughhttp://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=cables&m=160194 | |
| Kimber kable 8tc or 12tc warm? "a warm speaker cable with rich mid and heavy weight in bass and mid bass" -- 8TC is not that, and neither is 12TC. They're both very clean and neutral, though.I think you would like Acoustic Zen Satori or Audience AU24. | |
| Isolating bookshelf speakers without stands? There are also the Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizers, but honestly, stands are best. |
