Warm Interconnect....
Agree with Ssglx, heimdall all the way. You can read my older posts about it, simply amazing cable - it gives very, very appealing midrange bloom,, and still maintains enough treble & everything else.. Read the post and went straight to musicd... 
power cable length importance
ALL those things does not matter Hifihvn! I have a dedicated hifi socket with a special AWG14 hifi power cable (shielded, stranded) routed - total 60 feet! And I have ordinary socket nearby, same AWG14, good old solid copper wire - exept that ther... 
Are Cables Better Than High Grade Speaker Wire?
it depends on what system you have , once I had stereo, all NAD system with, total cost msrp near $2000. There was no difference between borrowed hi-end cables, and 1 level cables from well known manufacturer (ie AQ), or cheap speaker cable from H... 
NORODST BRAHMA comment
I have made comparisons between Nordost Brahma and Kimber PK10 On a Focal Utopia/Ayre/Esoteric based system. Cables were switched on DAC. To my taste Brahma was little too bright in that system, while PK10 brought some darkness, and instruments so... 
will different lengths affect sound
It funny to read all those comments about the issue. Especially on A'gon. Come on its not a HomeCinema forum! When I was picking speaker cables for my system, I also experiemented with different lenghts.. there was a PROFOUND difference between 4m... 
Denon DL-103R cartridge update
Mine is also imbalanced, left 0,4 and right 0,37 mV (compare this to official numbers : 0,3 Mv !! - some 33% more output!). And I am positive I can hear this (slight music shift to the left). Still this is minor problem, because music just pops ou... 
The OFFICAL Apple TV thread
Apple Lossless (like other lossless) is somewhat zipped wav/aiff, so when you play, program is unzipping and playing at the same time, thus it DOES sound different compared WAV/AIFF. I have compared WAV to APPLE LOSSLESS and WAV was better. I have... 
Budget MC Cartridge and Synergy
I am using Denon DL103 with Rega RB600 arm on Rega P25 with Graham Slee AMP3+SPU-1 phonostage with very very good results. Denon is my go-to artidge, you can find it for $150, so you have $350 already to invest to step-up like Bobs SUT and instant... 
Where do I make the long run IC or speaker cable?
When switching in my own sytem, I was looking not only at brands, but also lengths, 2x2.5 m SC sound different compared to 2x4m and 0.5m IC differs from 1m and so on.I would keep IC short (2x1m), and get LOWER GAUGE LONGER SPEAKER CABLES. Typicall... 
Benz Wood SL Very lean from the start
Ksl822, I do not know about Wood but my Glider turned 180 degrees to better in sound quality when climbed over mysterious 40 hour mark. So just keep spinning.You did not made a mistake, I did a mistake getting Glider instead of Wood. Wood is consi... 
best cartridge under $500
Jhorsh, if you want to have very good quality MC sound with INEXPENSIVE Denon DL103, you MUST build your SYSTEM around it, not vise versa. There is a possibility that accidentaly Denon will sound good, but thats a lottery. The hard work you do set... 
Entry into HiFi
get a manley stingray 1 (with triode switch) while you can, they are bargain right now, at around $1200-$1400, once this all old stock gone - you have to pay $3000 for the Stingray 2 . This is a true made in america diamond in tube amps. Speakers,... 
Are there any constants in speaker wire designs?
Kijanki, when talking about cables, I have also came across this: do two cables (branded, and a copy of it) which have identical L R C spec. will sound the same? I do not reject the idea that this only speculiation between these numbers, and their... 
Are there any constants in speaker wire designs?
PaperW8, not so long ago I was doing shootout of several power cords. When I put Kimber PK14 on a my DAC, all the music suddenly became sort of IN FOCUS. I can not find a better word to describe this. So it is not BS. And there is no equipment to ... 
Are there any constants in speaker wire designs?
Kijanki, what Nordost cable line you are refering to? I know very well Nordost Heimdal IC and Nordost Frey IC, & Nordost middle line SC I can honestly say that your adjectives does not belong to Nordost.Heimdal, for instance, will give lots of...
