Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable?
I think I will try the KLE connectors though. I'm curious how much better than the standard cardas silver plated copper they are. 
Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable?
@williewonka , I just wrote you a novel, but it wasn't posted for some reason. I definitely noticed more of a difference when I put a power cable on the amp than when I put one on the pre.. But the amp has a switching power supply, so I think they... 
Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable?
@williewonka I finished the cables and they sound great from the start. Though I think a lot may be attributed to the silver plug and IEC connectors. I have a DIY power box wired with 10awg silver plated copper straight through a DIY power cord li... 
Room treatment-I was afraid of this
I’m working on room treatment right now. Just ordered some broadband absorption panels and a HF absorption panel. I’m excited to get rid of the boominess. One problem I have is my left wall is pretty much all glass. I’m hoping the panels absorb en... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
It's morning, but whatever..I'm loving the new Bon Iver album '22 a Million'. Also digging M Ward's 'More Rain'And lastly the beautifuly melancholic Nick Cave album 'Skeleton Tree' 
RBH Speakers ???
I own a pair of 1266-SE floorstanders and absolutely love them. I did upgrade my drivers so that I have a pair of 1266-SE/R. The scanspeak tweeters are amazing. Very detailed and smooth and able to get loud! The drivers are burly and can take a be... 
Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable?
@williewonka I'm waiting on some cable then I'll be building a couple of your power cables.. I'm interested to hear what change they bring, if any. I'm currently using diy cables I made based on the VH audio designs. However, I filled the PVC tubi... 
Little help please
Definitely swap amps, as you’ve decided. See if it follows. I can’t see how it could possibly be the ICs. And I agree, no need to send it back to the manufacturer. See if you can get schematics and specs from the manufacturer to aid whoever fixes ... 
Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) Acoustic Treatments - A Question
@shahzada123 Any chance on you posting those pics? I'm starting in on room treatment and you sound like you know what you're doing.. 
Is sound quality effected by twist connecting 2 speaker wires together for extra length?
I would crimp them with copper sleeves. A good crimp shouldn't oxidize on the cold welded contact surfaces. You could then wrap with Teflon plumber's tape and put some heat shrink tubing over it and it should be good for a long while.. 
Power Cables for Class D Amplifiers
I definitely noticed a difference when I upgraded my power strip and power cords that feed my class D crown amp. I went from a crappy surge strip to a diy box with 10 awg wire, filtering caps and Hubble non ferrous outlets. That improved the sound... 
2 prong power cable
I recommend you research power cords a bit, only because you seem to want recommendations for specific cords, but you keep getting advice for what to look for in a power cord. For an amplifier, which draws a lot of current in order to drive the sp... 
Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews?
Akispapadsvvas, I think you meant to direct your comment at jafant. He's the very anti China participant in this thread. I have a bunch of Chinese made components that sound beautiful, have high quality and that have been driven hard for a few yea... 
Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47?
Hey there gents. I have no input on the differences between all these outlets, as I installed the HBL5362w in my wall and in my home made power box. They sound great and I’m not about to dismantle everything for the nth time. I did want to share, ... 
New cutting edge cable tech!
