| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Everyone has their own idea of burn-in. I've been around a long time and the best way to "condition" your cables, Boil water in a stainless steel pot and submerge your cables. Be sure not to burn yourself. Boil the water down till the pot burns. T... | |
| Is there actually a difference? "SS amplification (pre and power) reached such a high level of development over the past three decades that competing units are functionally and sonically equivalent. "This is simply NOT true. If you have decent ears, you can tell the difference b... | |
| Surprised prof,I must rebut to some of your post and this will apply to all of "us". First, we all have different speakers, room conditions, subwoofers, and ideas of what information is supposed to sound like.Those who use a subwoofer OTHER than a REL, you ... | |
| Surprised kosst, with all due respect, you are far from correct. If you’re talking about inexpensive bookshelf speakers, their performance doesn’t justify the money agreed, however, spend good money and get quality products and a REL will integrate nicely. ... | |
| Stands? Try VTI "VSP Series"http://www.vtimanufacturing.com/product_category/speaker-stands-vsp-series/But, they're about $200 / pair. I have them and filled with sand to make for a very SOLID stand. If you go with cheeper wood stands your sound will come... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? I agree with wallyfl., Here's my two cents;I have three REL R-528 and one REL T-9. The T-9 is used for center in a home theater set-up and one REL R-528 behind the sofa. In front for LF and RF I have Paradigm Signature S2 and just outside them are... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length gdnrbob, It’s a good thing you aren’t me as I’m very happy with my current set-up. I assure you, if I ever decide to upgrade from these, which I doubt can be done under a couple large ones, I’ll let you know so you can buy them from me for a song.... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length The Transparent came with the Anthem P5 as I purchased it used. Got a heck of a deal since the Transparent Music Wave cables were $1,700 new. AQ cables are about as good as any when you get higher up the food chain. | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length I know this is an old thread that I started but haven't really taken an inventory of everything in my system until now. Heck, I might have missed an item or two but thought I'd share what I can see/find in the system. I definitely CAN hear a diffe... | |
| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. Funny, no one in this thread mentioned use of PayPal. They cover the buyer and seller. I wouldn’t buy anything without using PayPal. It doesn’t matter if you buy through Agone, Craigslist, or any other internet market. Just to CYA, whenever you bu... | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp I feel your pain. I have an Anthem A5 for sale in a sealed box just serviced by the factory so its as fresh as any untouched "B" stock. Been trying to sell it for two months now and only one low-ball nibble. I tried selling it here and now on anot... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Got 'em back and been listening carefully. I can't say what I'm hearing is attributed to just the cables since I've gone through my whole system in the last several months but, my audio sounds friggin awesome! I've listed all the components of my ... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length I'm only swapping out the FL & FR for the Transparent Audio. Hoping to have them back within a week or so. I think I'm done buying audio equipment for awhile. Maybe next year swap out my Sharp 70" for a Samsung 80" screen. 😁Regarding the FL &a... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Just called George Meyer today and they ordered the lugs for my cables last week. It’s less than a 1 hour job to install them. Simple crimp and solder but the cable is so thick, probably 10 AWG so soldering might be a bit tricky. I’d rather an exp... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Update----Dropped them off at the local high-end audio repair center. When I called Transparent Audio and got a quote, it was excess of $400.00. They would get new terminals, inspected, certified, and warranted. I said "Thank You"! I'm waiting for... |
