| Hissing sound on Hydra 2 My Hydra 2s are also dead quiet. | |
| What concerts have your kids dragged you to? Ears, good for you. I was twelve or thirteen when I saw my first show. My friend's dad took us, dropped us off, and went to a bar for five hours while we enjoyed the show. To this day, I think that was a very cool thing for the old man to do (driv... | |
| Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player A better phrasing would be that the redbook layer of a hybridSACD/redbook disc benefits from the fact that the recordingwas originally mastered in DSD and downconverted to redbook.That I can believe, and the SACD/CD hybrid disk would, in fact, pla... | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? My initial reaction is to agree with John that the new Helix cords will not sound any different than the models they are replacing, because the new Helix cords are basically the old cords with new printing on the heatshrinks.That's why the "old" c... | |
| Power Cord Flavors John, this hobby never stops confounding and amazing me. A perfect example is how we can each have completely different opinions about the sonic flavor of the Shunyata Anaconda Vx. That's why it's so important to try these things in one's own system. | |
| Speakercable and powercord that thightens bass. Hey Don, thanks for the gauge info. I've found in my system that the size of wire gauge matters in each specific application, therefore your answer provides some useful guidance. I never intended to elicit any fabrication techniques...just size of... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Wstritt, I think you get a free toaster. Check with Mick, or with the Audiogon staff to claim your prize. | |
| Power Cord Flavors I forgot to add the Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source cord (copper version)...on the warm side of neutral.Disclaimer: I have one for sale to a good home. With papers. House trained. | |
| Speakercable and powercord that thightens bass. OK, Don. I really thought my question about gauge was pretty elementary...something most other power cord manufacturers like Shunyata readily publish, but I'll let it go. Thanks for your reply. | |
| Power Cord Flavors Actually, folks, the purpose of the thread is for everyone to share their OWN opinions of warm & full bodied cords versus neutral, clear and extended cords. :)I'd rather not go into more detail about Brand A vs. Brand B because I believe this ... | |
| Power Cord Flavors My preference differs with the application, the day of the week, the temperature, the humidity, and how much of the bottle I've consumed. Translation- I'm still on the journey and can not answer your question with any degree of certainty...as evid... | |
| Speakercable and powercord that thightens bass. Virgo_ref, what is the effective gauge of the PowerWave and Ref 1 Extreme power cords? | |
| panamax , monster or richard gray What is "level 6"?I'd suggest a Powervar or OneAC unit instead of those you list. Less expensive, equally good...if not better. | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? I could swear the photo on the Shunyata website of the Anaconda cable conductor winding geometry prior to the Helix announcement looked exactly like the helix photo currently on the website. I'm sure something has changed, but they look damn close... | |
| Speakercable and powercord that thightens bass. 1markr, thanks for your reply...and for your careful PC dancing around the "better" issue. :)I guess I should've asked in what respects you find the DCCA cord preferable, not better.It's always difficult to describe how something may be better in ... |
