Hotrod your Hermes
I own the new Kora Hermes with the Auricaps, JenaLabs cryo wiring, etc., and I was wondering besides the obvious tube rolling, if you folks think my DAC could benefit from some of the mods mentioned here. I'm not technically savy enough to attempt... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
"...accidentally pressed pay". I love that! I can't even count how many times I've gone "doh!" right after I pressed "order" or "buy". 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Subaru, that's a good one, just think how my dinky Bel Canto DAC 1.1 went airborne with my VD Power 2s. The Auditions I'm getting have three smaller strands. so hopefully they'll bend easier.Viggen, I'll keep your review and experiences in mind wh... 
Are You Content With Your System?
Viggen, yes I listen to KCRW once in awhile too. I just saw and heard some VERY neat ethnic music this weekend at Cal State Long Beach. I was there both days for my Maya Certificate course and CSULB was having a Native Amercian Pow Wow all weekend... 
can speaker cables help?
My brief experience in this hobby agrees with George's statements. I have and haven't noticed changes both good and bad to my system's sound by altering components, cables/cords, isolation tweaks, power conditioning and positioning.But that being ... 
can speaker cables help?
I completely agree with the two previous posts, speaker placement is SO very important. My listening chair has castors so I can roll around and change my listening distance. The change in soundstaging and location of musical elements is very notic... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Hi Mzn50. Yeah Rick said the orders are piling up and the wait will only get longer now that word is getting around about the cryo option and his cables in general. I should have my cryo'd wires in a week or two so I'll be able to give you a one w... 
Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions?
Or how about this one Psychicanimal, "True refinement seeks simplicity". Not from the Tao of JKD, but something of his I read when I was in high school. 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Viggen, actually I've never posted a virtual system, because it keeps changing so often. But, I think I've settled into something that I both like and maxes out my budget. I'll definitely let you know what I think of the Audition Package when I ge... 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?
Viggen, thanks for your detailed reports. I'm sure many people considering Virtual Dynamics cables and cords will find your experience helpful. I have the Audition Package with full cryo treatment on order and should be receiving them in 1-2 weeks... 
cable cooker, do they work?
Hi Ramond. I'm getting an entire set of new cables and have been pondering this same question, so I'm thinking of getting one myself. I've talked to other Audiogoners who've used them and can attest to their effectiveness. Here are a few links tha... 
Do "Cardas Caps" make a difference?
Hi FZXguy. This is one of the first tweaks I ever purchased, and have used them whenever an RCA jack needed covering. To be honest, I don't know what if any effect they have regarding EMF shielding, it's more a matter of peace of mind for me. Howe... 
bad for an amplifier when there is no speakers ?
Eltbee , I spoke with an authorized NAD service tech a few years ago and told him I was having trouble with an NAD 214 that I was running in bridged mode. He said that in bridged mode excess stress is placed on the amp. During the course of that c... 
Best Dac you ever heard
Here's my opinion based on limited experience. I've only heard the MSB Link DAC in someone else's system, but I own both the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 and the new Kora Hermes and without a doubt like the Kora the best. 
Need help with a pair of small speakers
I agree with those that have mentioned that ProAcs need to be away from the rear wall. I love my Tab 50 Sigs, but they definitely benefit from being into the room more.Jla, I've been thinking of getting a pair of 1SCs myself. Sounds like you have ...
