| Indispensable Tool! Hi guys, I read all the discussion... These are my empirical impressions that apply to my system; over the years, I've tried almost all the break-in discs (XLO, Purist Audio, Densen Demagic, Isotek, Cardas, Tellurium-Q, as well as the classic Pin... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @mahgister Thanks for the welcome - sheep zombie is a nice image... @kennyc Thanks to You too. It’s true, there are some interesting reviews about the measurements of the products; it was the main reason I went there every now and then. I agree... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. For me, this Audiogon forum is a good place; the other night I tried to reply on ASR to a gentleman who was asking for opinions, intended as subjective listening impressions, on the Straight Wire Crescendo and Acoustic Zen speaker cables. I was as... | |
| Graphene infused OCC conductor Hi, I'm also intrigued by the graphene used with OCC copper; I noticed that Neotech is also drawing OCC copper with graphene. I read the abstracts of some papers that summarize the increase in conductivity as modest or even nonexistent. As I think... | |
| Audioquest SKY rca loose connector (no fake cables) Thanks for the suggestions; the fact is that Sky interconnect gen 1 has resistence welding terminations (8000 ampere for some milliseconds) and so it's impossible to change the rca connectors. For the undersized female rca connectors on my Audio... | |
| Wireworld Series 10 I can help with my experience with Series 8 - the Series 10 has the same exact gauge as Series 8, the difference is that every 'group' of conductors in Series 8 is made by two small wires next to each other, in Series 10 every small wire is alone ... | |
| Difference between Straight Wire Crescendo I vs II jond - Yes, it's a solid brand that push less on the marketing department respect to other american brands; I know very well the Maestro I and II speaker cables, the Black Thunder II power cable and the Crescendo I (interconnect and speaker cable)... | |
| Straight Wire Blue Thunder PC Late response....it's a very good power cable (good value for the price). Geometry is dual quad twist; each polarity has 4 solid OFC copper conductors (18 awg each conductor - 12 awg for polarity); teflon dielectric and shielded. Solid cable IMHO.... | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 interconnect - opinions please @hifiman5 I'll try to control the connectors (confirm the tight grip, positive attribute of the connectors) on the preamp section and give more burn-in time. I hope for improvements. @audphile1 My impression is similar; a sound that is surely fas... | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 interconnect - opinions please @hifiman5 I have used the Eclipse 8 for about 200 hours, I tried on two different sources, Pioneer PD-D9 MKII and Audio Analogue Maestro 24-192. After your words, I will try to use the Purist Audio Disc for burn-in, in search for improvements. T... | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 interconnect - opinions please Thanks for the answers; it seems that the family sound remain the same. I'm trying the Eclipse 8 rca but it seems to be a bit dry and lacks dynamic, bass is too lean. I read everywhere great reviews of the Series 8, so I was a bit in confusion. ... | |
| Change of sound with Deoxit G100 I'm new on Audiogon, I shared my experience with Deoxit Gold G100L (100% solution) in an other post. It was not a good experience; after using a small quantity on gold plated connectors the sound became cold, mechanic. I waited some days, but the ... | |
| Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today My experience with Deoxit Gold (100% solution) was negative; I applied a small small quantity on my gold plated connectors and the sound became cold, harsh; after some days I cleaned two times with IPA 99% and the sound returned to pre-Deoxit stat... | |
| Deoxit Gold...Not Just For Tubes? Hi, first post here; I used Deoxit Gold G100L (100% solution in a glass bottle) and it was a bad experience. I carefully applied a small quantity of liquid as for instructions on all my gold plated connectors on interconnects and speaker cables. I... |
