| Fuses that matter. Budburma, wow that is way too much testing for me. But I must say that I'm not surprised that you would hear such differences. I must say that once I decided that I liked the SR fuses, I did hear that on some components they made more of a differe... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calvinj, I understand your thirst for warm, textured, rich and organic sound. But I must say that I have found the HFCables to have cut off the road back to this. I have often had all tube electronic and often only horn speaker systems with SET am... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz We broke for lunch. I doubt if I had a beer, but don't remember. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Fluffers, I am torn between recommending the speaker cables next and recommending a single power cord from the wall to your ac filter, or plugin strip. I guess I still remember the sound improvement when Rick and I listened to the improvement afte... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calvinj, HFCs make reviewers' lives troublesome. Everything upsets the apple cart. They don't like to be moved. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, I just noticed the layman explanation of how the HFCables work on their web page. I think most here know that any current flow induces a magnetic field and that any magnetic field induces current flow. The idea that magnets and ease the f... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, it seems like I'm always waiting for something breaking in. Last night with nothing changed, I had a major jump in the quality of the sound stage on every recording that I played. I find breakin comes in big jumps-not at all smoothly.Also... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Fluffers, I think that you can turn off the tubes. Just don't move the cables. I have no tube components now, but I used to have your concern. I did turn off the amp when not playing music. I did leave the preamp on, however. Breakin may take some... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth, go to hell! | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Having just returned from the RMAF and again heard very musical reproduction of mono records, I think there is a clear difference between the best digital sound and the best vinyl sound. The first is very musical and the second can be very real so... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth, Tata Labs is listed as an exhibitor at the RMAF 2014 and I walked into their room. I was not shocked by the sound. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, I think the new Tara Labs cables were at the RMAF. I listened for a while and then left. I was unimpressed, especially given their price. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I should follow up on Ddraudt's comments. Basically HFC wave guides do NOT like to be in contact with wooden floors or carpet. This is a major issue with the HFX UR speaker cables. I don't even like to have any part of the cable in contact with th... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Rja, I don't think comparative listening really helps with outlets, cartridges, speakers, or ac plugs and IECs. Cables, however, are easier. | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors For years I used Eagle outlets having compared the three major brands available then. Then I moved to the Hubbel HBL5362 Extra Heavy Duty Industrial Series. Unfortunately the first one of these I got had been cryogenically by Jena Labs. It was for... |
