| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Blind tests demonstrate that differences may be too subtle to notice easily. They don't prove there are no differences but they do show that the differences are very subtle and at a level where it may not matter to some listeners. That serves a pu... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "To believe that cables make no significant difference is wishful thinking. "Huh? Did you make a typo? Surely the wishful thinking is on the part of any person believing that a mere piece of copper wire (even some wire costing a ridiculous $5000) ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Coat hangers would be very difficult to work with as they are quite rigid and lack an insulation jacket. In theory they might work electrically but are very impractical compared to ordinary wires suitable to the task.For sure there are several dol... | |
| Tom Petty Box Sets I have Ryan Ulate remastered Damn the Torpedoes in Hi-res digital and I think it is pretty good. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? If a system is resolving of or highly sensitive to the wires then it is designed incorrectly. I don't invest in audio gear to hear the wires - I prefer to hear the source music. | |
| Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio @mb1audio02 Active Speakers bring many technical advantages. There are cheap not so good ones and low end PA types but there are also really good ones. The really good ones (like higher end PMC) are often much better than a speaker with a passive ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? If cables make a big difference (and I believe they can in some cases) then the audio gear is not doing a good job to begin with. Audio gear is not supposed to highlight the interconnecting wires but the source material!!! | |
| Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio PMC is a good choice. | |
| You were right about adding a sub. I don’t use my 15" sub with my 15" mains, however, in the past I found the sb was very effective at flushing out the ultra LF with small main speakers. | |
| Quack System Upgrades If your systems full potential requires special expensive wires and different bits of wire between components actually materially affect the performance then it says a lot about the equipment design and build quality and/or your equipment choices.... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Bo1972,Your testimonial about yourself is impressive. You are not the first to claim you have discovered the holy grail. None of what you have written demonstrates any understanding of loudspeaker construction and design but I guess your enthusias... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @bo1972 I note that Monitor Audio use a dampening ring (similar to accuton rubber dots) to help prevent and dampen all the unwanted energy from the ringing of their rigid drivers. My ears are very sensitive to this type of coloration which is why ... | |
| My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers... You get what you pay for. ATC make their own drivers in the U.K. in small volumes. You have to decide whether the diminishing returns of a better build are worth it - many speakers can do a great job at lower listening levels where compression and... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @dlcockrum Not exclusve but correct timbre/musicality/dynamics is more important to me. I respect others have a different view and they may place much more importance on 3D effects.Our brain processes sound for both directionality and the timbre/m... | |
| My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers... You should look at ATC and PMC. Your comments suggests that you really notice the true dynamics of music when playing Dynaudio. Some people are not very sensitive to this aspect but obviously you noticed it. Many suggestions above are good but the... |
