| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? If you are open to buying used cables, Darwin or Amadi make very good sounding interconnects sounding better than many times their price. The original Darwin Silver ICs are still a very good IC. They don’t look like much, but their sound is excell... | |

| Speaker Cable Recommendation Tekton's would also love Fideliums for speaker cables. | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation magnuman, Also had Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3/HX speakers that slightly lacked the somewhat live quality with less detail than my RM40's that would have sounded considerably better with the Fideliums. Magnepans would not like them much. T... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation magnuman, IF you have speakers that are a little bass heavy or just average in detail retrieval, there is no question the Fideliums would be a big step up in SQ. I currently have a pair of SP Technology Revelation Mk-V speakers that would just l... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Clarity Cables Organic are very full sounding with fine detail. All other cables will sound thin in comparison. They could be bought new for close to the $1000. I tried Silversmith Fideliums among about 10 other speaker cables in my system. I ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations Cost effective wires that don't sound like they are--they shoot well above their price. For years I used Speltz Anticables and it took much more expensive ones to beat them in some areas. You can buy a specific amount and easily make your own. E... | |
| How is Quality and Customer Service defined in the 21st Century? Deltronics in Woodridge, IL has been excellent at fixing several different components for me over the years. They always get it done right. They also tell me whether it's worth doing and discourage me from having it repaired if it isn't. Modwri... | |
| JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them @audiojerry, Not only have I tried the JW Signature ICs, but I've used the Schroeder method of running identical IC pairs using 4 sets of connectors to a particular connection. As with all the combinations I've tried, using 2 rather than 1 set o... | |
| Cable elevators I tried elevators a couple times--just OK in SQ. Krissy had me try using 100lb. fish line to suspend the cables about 1 ft. off the floor. I had mono amps so I tried doing this on just the right channel first so I could hear if there was a signi... | |
| Should I steer clear of class D amps I have owned the Nuforce Reference 9 SE mono amps for about 6 years. Bob Smith did the TDSS level 3 upgrades to them about 5 years ago and he then did the latest CapCellBar upgrades to them about 3 years ago. The level 3 upgrades were very sign... | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? jmsmy, I've now owned about 5 very good speakers since the VMPS RM40 BCSE w/MLS cabinets. The other speakers ranged in list price from $3400-$36,000. I had each in my system at least 1 year and tweaked each to its max so each was significantly ... | |
| To use Auric Illuminate or not. One last thing: I treat the discs while I'm listening to music. It gives me something to enjoy while taking the time to fully treat each disc. To do a group of 9 discs at one time, I averaged about 90 minutes to do all steps to the 9 discs incl... | |
| To use Auric Illuminate or not. I have used Auric Illuminator II for about 1/2 year now. This is the improved formula over the original. I've now treated over 500 discs counting SACD's, DVD's, and CD's. Every single one sounds much more real, live, dynamic, detailed, with muc... | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? Update on the VMPS RM40 BCSE w/MLS cabinets and all the upgrades except the OXO. Krissy made me 4 E-boxes--one is now used on the power supply of my Modwright 5400 Signature Truth; the other on the side the power cord is on of the actual MW CD... |
