| Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks Ivan_nosnibor,This is an intriguing thought. All I can do is speculate. | |
| Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks Ivan_nosnibor and Geoffkait,Your points are well taken. Using a so-called "loom" from one well-known cable maker turned into what I will politely call the wrong decision for my system. The claimed synergy was pale in comparison to what it was when... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System When I stated that the sound was awful -- thin and lifeless -- with the switch in Oyaide plugs, I should have clarified my statement. I did not say that the sound stage collapsed. It did not. I did not say that the holography disappeared. It did n... | |
| Tube Amps and Cabling Pdreher, Rrog and Mechans,Thank you very much for your comments. They are most helpful.Pdreher,I am looking at the VAC Sigma 160i. I have Joseph Audio Pulsar monitors. I have read they are a good match with VAC amplifiers. | |
| Some Thought on Cables and Tweaks Nonoise,Your comments ring very true. If we look critically at reviews instead of accepting what is said at face value we can find all sorts of contradictions -- and ample evidence of outright manipulation. It has been mentioned many times that it... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Onhwy61,With all due respect, there is no hole anywhere -- except the hole that is perceived by those who wish to see one where there is none. There is just a lack of understanding by those who do not know what having a system based on using cable... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Sebrof,With all due respect, my system did not sound "at the same time" both great and lifeless. How can a system sound like two opposites "at the same time"? This is impossible. Changing the plugs transformed the sound. And this happened at two d... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Mechans,Thanks for this observation. I will be rolling tubes soon and look forward to listening to the difference between various 6DJ8 tubes. | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Onhwy61 and Sebrof,Of course, I knew this was coming. It was too obvious. With all due respect, your comments show a complete misunderstanding. There is absolutely no contradiction at all -- except that which is caused by elements that do not matc... | |
| Have you heard or own the Shakti Hallograph Unless Elizabeth's remarks are based on using Shaktis in her system they can be easily ignored.I have had Shaktis in my system for quite a while and would not be without them. They are an essential room treatment. Even Ted Denney at Synergistic Re... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Elescher,I didn't allow any break-in time because both plugs were well broken in -- thousands of hours.Mrtennis,This is subjective. Each person is judging his own system. Who knows your system better than you, after all? It is not a matter of disa... | |
| One Small Step ... That Transforms Your System Elizabeth,In my system the change I described was much more than a slight variation. It transformed the sound from lifeless to highly musical -- not a subtle change. Amazing, really -- just by changing the location of two plugs. | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Jon2020,Yes, my system is very resolving and has reached a level of continuity and holography that I really never thought it would reach.Thank you for your observations. I find them very informative. In fact, they are so detailed that I wonder why... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Jon2020,This is an interesting observation -- one that I had not heard before. Since I live overseas, taking their 30-day trial could get complicated -- and expensive, with all the back and forth shipping. Based on what you have to say, the QOL do... | |
| Marantz sa-1 stop playing Photon46,Agreed. But for me it not only solves the problem of a one-box breakdown leaving me high and dry. It also give me the opportunity to have two excellent components in my system. The PS Audio transport and the AMR DP-777 are a match made in... |
