| Sound Labs 645-8, A Review Good you got it figured out quickly. From your description I can almost hear how outstanding the music sounds. Congrats! | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable HarmTech is very nice - warm and also detailed, really good at taming "digititus".I recently auditioned occ copper ribbons from ZenWave. They are my #1 now for my tube amp w/Harbeths. | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? akg_ca and williewonka said it best.Also the most expensive cabling absolutely is not the best match for every system. The signal from the amp to the speakers never arrives unscathed.Finding one that does the least harm and allows the components t... | |
| What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive? No serious regrets really. But listening to the hype begat too many lateral moves.If I only knew then what I know now about component matching,build quality, and acoustics. Never having large amounts of money to throw at this hobby probably saved me. | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes Components that measure the best always sound the best;-) | |
| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread I actually just bought a ss amp (Modright 100SE) for summer use,and my tube amp will be idle until fall.My Dac and pre are both tubed.I like the extra power and not thinking about the care and feeding of valves for now:-)It took a little fussing w... | |

The marketing folks know how to get our pulses quickened.Same thing with food adverts.For me personally, I have been underwhelmed more often than not when I've had the o... | |
| Favorite cable brand. Audio Envy are my favorite budget cableI'm very happy with ZenWave right now after trying a dozen or so other brands | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Just getting caught up on your thread. A big congrats to you!I'm glad they are making incredible music for you. | |
| QUESTION about Installing "Matched" Tubes You might want to get the amp checked out. A bad cap maybe?Time to get them both serviced if that's the case:-/IME the small tubes "flavor" the sound, the power tubes have the most effect on the drive and bass punch. | |
| Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations Audio Envy are really nice low cost cables,warmish,smooth, not hyper detailed.ZenWave cables are pricey but not stratesphericaly so.They are the best I've ever experienced and seem to bring out the best in my components. | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? If you want to know why they sound different maybe delve into the science. Read the blog or listen to the long video. It's not as amusing as arguing though:-)https://www.iconoclastcable.com | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV Why did I start reading this thread?! I almost bought Cornwall lVs last year now I'm really wanting to once again.I'll live vicariously through you guys for now. I suspect those little Decware amps will be an excellent match. |
