| tube suggestions/ brand new to tubes My tube experience is fairly limited, but my last purchase was from Brett Jesse through audiotubes that been mentioned multiple times. I was looking for a a less warm sound and ended up with Amperex tubes that I believe are the classic Bugle Boy t... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @lanx0003 - Morrow Audio has a business model that’s based on discounts so there’s almost always a sale and in my opinion nobody should never pay the full advertised price. They have a Sale page on the website site and it currently lists 25% off a... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @lanx0003 - The key to Morrow Audio is the sales. I think all of my purchases utilized their yearly Black Friday sale which, I believe, is typically at least 40% off. I not trying to sell you on Morrow Audio products, just making sure you make a... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @lanx0003 - It's common experiences with cables that give me confidence that there's more to it than expectation bias and placebo even though I know that they are also always an unavoidable factor. My original perspective with speaker cables afte... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference My experience with cable burn-in is very limited, but I will say that when I got my Morrow Audio MA-4 balanced interconnects my listening experiences generally aligned with their prescribed timeline for break-in. I truly didn’t focus on a lot and ... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @lanx0003 - I tend to not share my specific impression with cables because it sets people up for expectation bias to become a more significant factor. Having said that, it sounds like your experience with the Micca 14 speaker cables aligns with mi... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @degalbraith77 - My experience is that you can hear a difference with cables in the $100-$200 range. My system was outfitted with Blue Jeans Cables (10 AWG speaker cables, LC-1 RCA interconnects, and Digital Coax before I really started dabbling ... | |
| Speaker cables - cables make a difference @buellrider97 - I am a happy Morrow Audio customer with MA4 unbalanced interconnects and SP4 speaker cables in my system. I also own MA4 balanced interconnects that I used with a previous DAC. I recently tried a DIG3 cable in my systems and it w... | |
| SPDIF Coax cable recommendation? I think you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't consider an Iconoclast BAV SPDIF cable. It can be returned and is a reasonable price. It's worth recognizing that Iconoclast could have developed a more fancy SPDIF cable to go along with t... | |
| upgrade what As an owner of Focal 836v speakers I would speculate that you may not love the Focal sound. I have a Pathos Classic One MKiii and even found some gold pin Mullards tubes that made the sound too warm for my liking. I would suggest some tube based c... | |
| What does "Warm" mean? I had what I considered a bit of an epiphany a few months ago when it comes to describing a “warm” sound vs. whatever the opposite is. I think audiophiles tend to say “detailed” when they like it and “bright” when they don’t. In words the opposite... | |
| Power Cable Suggestions. @wokeuptobose - The more I learn about cables the more I am convinced that the vast majority of products are not engineered at all and instead the result of trial and error or an adaption from other products with a little pseudoscience added in to... | |
| If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it… Balance is the key to all things. Most of us have interests in different things that range from cheap to functionally unattainable. As an example, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to own a Bugatti? What spots car did I actually own? An 2000 SS Ca... | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast @navyachts - I think the answer to your question can be found on a thread on the Audiophile Style on a discussion titled "Ho ho ho! Belden and Blue Jeans Join the Dark Side". I think it can be summarized to say that Iconoclast holds the same basi... | |
| Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine I don’t do and have never done vinyl, but I have heard top tier vinyl and in that comparison it was better than the “equivalent” digital source. The comparison was in a local shop over a decade ago on a $300,000+ system. I think that the actu... |
