| The best speaker you ever heard? I have had the BMC Arcadias now for over a year. I knew they are very good as they reveal differences in every cable, isolation device, and ac filtering I have done. Yesterday I heard a sound reproduction that I never would have believed possible.... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, I must say that yesterday I had really the first instance where something was jaw dropping. I got several HF power cables. We put one in prior to the HF Magnetic Waveguide power filter, listened briefly and went to lunch. On our return Ri... | |
| Fuses that matter. Audioman58, I used to double check on rule of following the lettering as the current flow. In six trials that sounded better than the opposite. I will also note that I have always found the little WA fuse chips help the SR fuses if put on the cent... | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Schubert, as rare as unicorns! I like that. You will very seldom, if ever, hear a scientist say something just makes common sense.However, I do trust my ears. Using an alloy like mu metal, the High Fidelity cables have higher resistance and encour... | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Common sense is usually untrue. It is a meaningless concept. In my experience, I have had two where the cables were identical save for the metal used. One was Audionote and the second Exemplar Portals. In both cases I preferred the silver. What do... | |
| Exemplar Audio Exception Integrated Last Summer I got one of the Exemplar integrated amps to listen to. At the time, I had an Exemplar Exception preamp. I told Tucker that the integrated amp sounded better than the preamp. I understand that the original preamp is now changed. I thou... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I don't know what this says about dac output stages. Two amplifier stages versus one should not be superior. Since I have never heard of either line stage you mention, I cannot make other comments. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house What is the difference between the L5 and the L7?Some time ago there was a discussion of the volume control on the L5 at THE Show. I have since heard the L5 into a line stage and then directly into the amp. Unless you have multiple sources, going ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Since Sony preportedly is going to put its master tapes all on quad DSD, I suspect that will be the end of the difference. Master tapes will be digital. I suppose there willl be less dense copies because of portability. Now all I need is a DSD sou... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, I envy your being able to use the HF UR RCA digital cable. I need USB or FW. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I learned last night that the HF Ultimate References take a month to reach their best, which is shockingly superior. Too expensive but absolutely imperative if you want realism. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Metralla, since there is no universal agreement about cables, and turmoil in all generitic threads, I think Ddraudt is right, that thread with a single focus are the only beneficial threads. Of course, all that those of us interested in the High F... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Charles1dad, I don't think the philosophy implied in your comment that "there is no anything that lacks flaws," is destructive of improvements. I think that my philosophy is that nothing cannot be improved is better and clearly the Enhanced and Ul... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Jmcgrogan2, I guess that I have always been a leading edge guy. I love compression drivers for that reason. But these cables from the first CT-1 on have an ease and speed about them that is novel. What is most endearing about them, however, is the... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Silemus, I can answer question #1.Yes it does change the sound. In fact the manufacturer said that one magnet in the wrong direction among the many on each cable harms the sound.The sonic change of all the High Fidelity products sounds much the sa... |
