Clarity Cap CMR Impressions

My back up is a Coda Unison 3.1.... sounds like it would fit the bill for you,  just a touch on the warm side of neutral,  well controlled bottom end nice soul & swing character to it... 125 watts to 8 & 250 to 4 with class a for the first...

Hi   asahitoro,   Recently I was displaying at a show that SVS happened to be at.  I went by their booth and to my surprise,  the US Marketing director was there and happened to be an old friend.... The SB12NSD is a product that we intended for Bl... 
Denon DP-60L vs Technics 1200 MK III
Hard choice, The Denon is just beautiful.....way back when, I sold the Technics, but 90% of them went out of our shop with some type of mod... The one we used in the shop was just tricked out.... incredible amount of damping, litz wired arm with a... 
INTERNAL CABLING- Heres some choices, give me your two cents on these cables..... Please _
@idahifi   my experience is that wire will start coming to its own at around 100 hours,  hard break in can take 400 hours.  As far as 9497 on mid & tweeter & the 5000UE on the woofer or all 5000UE???   I've payed with the 9497, it is smoot...

one last response @idahifi then I believe that I have given you all the advice that I have without a further question... I said all of your wire choices would perform well,  I re read your post and saw that you were consider snowline... I have use...

idahifi,    I don't want to confuse you with what is said between grannyring and myself.  Neither of us are steering you wrong.... He is looking strictly at the purist DIY point of view.... I am looking at cost vs performance... I just don't want ...

Idahifi    I would not stress over the resistors like you would the caps.... Once you get to a very good resistor, you will get good results... I've used mundorf, lynk, mills and Vishay/dale all with good results... As grannyring said, the Mills a...

The 9497 is a very musical cable, I'd compare it to the WE16ga that grannyring mentioned. I've used he WE16ga, very nice wire. On the 5000UE, By dynamic,  I mean,  slightly better bass and faster transients. I've not played with the Duelund.... I ...

grannyring,  you are absolutely correct... just as skin effect changes makes changes in solid core vs stranded wire, insulation resistance changes how signal transfers also... The old Marcof Speaker cables that I referenced earlier were individual...

@JbuhlSounds like you should give JohnnyR a call at audio connection... I'm sure that a dealer on this forum wouldn't tell someone to get an attitude adjustment  when you clearly posted a $2000 budget... That is a steal on Vandy 3A sigs.... Jump o...

Well really,  I just didn't want to spend the money on both and I saw so many looks for the 9497 and didn't want to buy a large bulk.  I found this link on ebay, he still has some.  Remember, this is a stiff cable... The 9497 is an enchanting cabl...

Just looked up the Supra, Madisound sells it... several wire gauge sizes,  from 15 to 12 gauge....$1.04 to about $4 a foot. I have heard good things about this cable for years, but haven't tried it... For internal cabling, I would go for the Belde...

@idahifi My audioquest speaker cables are Midnight +.... I also have my marcof cables an old set of straight wire and a set that slips my mind, but a highly reviewed inexpensive 12 gauge. They audioquest are a very nice cable... I've only used the...
