| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? @stereo5 "The AMT tweeter and silk dome tweeters. Everything else doesn’t sound real to me." Yep. It’s always a kick to see the look on someone’s face the very first time they hear a speaker design with a really good AMT implementation. | |
| Speaker Cables @nonoise "Stranded copper has always smeared the sound a bit too much for my liking. It has a very pleasing, but inaccurate, warmth to it that obscures detail and smokes the air, so to speak..."The first time I used really good OCC Crystal copper... | |
| Speaker Cables @mastering92 The cable itself should not have any sound characteristics.When you talk about "cable synergy" in a system, that does not exist. If I were you I would test 2 pairs - 1 cheap and well built cable, and a more expensive cable for your ch... | |
| Cary Audio SLA-70B amplifier I was just thinking that Sound N Music may know of someone in your region maybe within a 4hr circumference. Some of these hidden techs work out of a basement of their homes, and shops contract and send out to them. It's not always openly shared or... | |
| Cary Audio SLA-70B amplifier If you have not already done so, maybe you could ask the folks at Sound "N" Music or GER Global Electronics Repairs there in Panama if they know of someone who can come to your place, like an old TV repair person use to do in the old days :) Migh... | |
| Interesting 2x2 grid to describe what a component sounds like ... do you agree @williewonka "I might feel different if there was some context as to how it was derived."Agree, more context and a better understanding of each of the parameters from the maker of the graph would be helpful and very interesting. Anything that Audi... | |
| Cardas Clear breakin. How many hours needed? @jasonbourne52 No wonder why people think that audiophiles are insane! Copper sounds different than silver? LOL!With capable ears listening to a well matched audio system, some people can hear a notable difference. Even interconnects built with TP... | |
| Interesting 2x2 grid to describe what a component sounds like ... do you agree Created by the sonorous Marketing Division, maybe. :) I'd be surprised if Peter Qvortrup had a hand in that graph. | |
| Cary Audio SLA-70B amplifier @russ69 I think I’d be all over Cary. HEY! Provide some service or provide the info I need to fix it myself. I’d get someone on the phone to tell me I’m SOL, then I would tell them, bad mistake, you guys are going to be my hobby, and it’s going to... | |
| Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable +1 +1 what @jjss49 and @lalitk said. My older streamer has a provision with some streaming services where the music can be streamed from a handheld device-controller (iPad, Laptop, iPhone) -OR- another provision for streaming directly from the st... | |
| Sellers: When do you drop your price? You found it at a good price (passing along the savings later), took all the risk with little info and tested it out for more than a few months, further helping to ensure the next buyer would have a nice component. And passed along some savings fo... | |
| Salk speakers Integrated Amp suggestion...... @skoorb824 All makes sense and agree its hard to match up without hearing them. The thought here is anyone who recommends an amp to you for Salks and they've never heard them or know what makes them sing, take it all with a grain of salt. As othe... | |
| Salk speakers Integrated Amp suggestion...... @Scoorb824,See link below, scroll down a bit to the 4th photo. This setup was at CAS with the SS 9.5s. Jim recently commented to me about this amp too, if you want to go tube, he seemed to like this setup yet it was something in progress as I reca... | |
| Salk speakers Integrated Amp suggestion...... @skoorb824, if I may suggest, having someone blindly recommending an amplifier brand on these speakers will not serve you well, unless they own them and have tried them on various amps with some extensive testing and listening sessions. It might b... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I enjoy how Nelson tries different output transistors within his stash, in different circuits he comes up with in his head. Admittedly, 1 of 10 of those variations actually make it to production. He intentionally looks for rare or extinct opt tran... |
