| Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show? I can't answer about $2K plus cables, but HiDiamond's P3 power cords are on a whole another level - maybe two! - beyond the TWLs (10+, 8+), Teresonic and the WyWires silver (Juice 2). I just got a pair of D8 ICs, which are currently on a cooker, b... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Received two more P3s today, inserted them - so three P3s and 1 TWL 10+ - and the dryness disappeared, while lots more of other things appeared. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Fplanner2000, suggestions for RCA ICs that would live better with HDs? This is dac to Focal powered speakers. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... (I posted a reply over 24 hrs ago with links to two Teresonic reviews, but it hasn't shown and there hasn't been a decline notice). Unlike most silver ICs, the Teresonic Clarison IC is not dry - I would have returned it otherwise - tho it's not pa... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Replacing mainly TWLs. I haven't found the Teresonic ICs dry, tho not warm either, and neither did the reviewers awhile back (they're allegedly still the same): http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue43/teresonic_clarison.htmhttp://dagogo.com/teres... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... I need to add that I wrote the previous post after a frustrating several hour session with the TV system. Upon return to the computer one, with the P3 between (Maestro) outlet and UberBuss, it didn't sound half bad, though still a touch dry. I neg... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... I've got a question about the HiDiamond P3's. I bought a 2m demo supposedly with 200 to 300 hours and have put in another 190 so far. I've now tried it in various positions and cord combinations in two sonically different systems (listed below), a... | |
| Electrical interference in desktop system Hum-X quieted it down, now almost inaudible ear to speaker. | |
| Electrical interference in desktop system To pick this up again, I've tried both the Panamax M5300-EX line conditioner and Mapleshade power strip (Mk II Plus) with the same result. Starting with the Focal speakers and Dell monitor plugged into the conditioner/strip, if I plug the computer... | |
| Electrical interference in desktop system Any thoughts? I've just received a pair of Teresonic silver ICs and it's like listening to the inside of the computer with soundstaging. | |
| Buying speakers ten or more years old a good idea? Earlier this year I pulled a pair of Sound Dynamics 300ti's from around the mid 1990s that had been stored (boxed) since 2001, part of that in a garage that got down as low as 36F in winter, and they sounded quite good, pretty much as I remembered... | |
| Darwin Ascension: audio video revolution review Since this is an Ascension thread, I won't add my review yesterday of the Silver IC (unbalanced). While my experience with them may have a happy ending, getting there wasn't pleasant for the most part. See http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?r... | |
| Review: Darwin Cable Silver IC Interconnect Thanks for the reviews. I recieved a pair of 5" silver ICs in early June and after the Darwin-prescribed several hours of breakin was not a happy camper. Tonally they were among the best I'd heard, although on the dark side, but otherwise I found ... | |
| Fidelizer The simple answer to my question (Davide256), something I hadn't noticed, is that the user has to start fidelizer manually each time, and reboot to get rid of it.Now, being aware of that, there are a bunch of problems:1) fidelizer kills foobar2000... | |
| What do you use to check for brightness? Thanks for those ideas. Developers and reviewers have certain tracks they use for testing equipment. After awhile, one can get overly used to one's own. I envy those with perfect pitch who don't need reference points. |
