if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can @markley Years ago, in one of my previous systems, I used a Panamax power conditioner but eventually switched to an isolation transformer. The isolation transformer dropped the noise floor of the system precipitously and its benefit was immediatel... | |
Suggestions on Ethernet cables for Accuphase digital separates.. @garebear My systems are not the same as yours but I hope you will find this reply useful nonetheless. I have an Innuos streamer into which I use a Transparent Cable ethernet cable. The Innuos is in turn connected to an Accuphase E-800 integrated ... | |
The best speaker cables you’ve had Kubala-Sosna Realization, which I own, and they are perhaps the most natural sounding I have heard. | |
Kimber Cable Select @farne230 Sounds like you are assembling a nice system that I trust you will enjoy for a long time. I don’t have any experience with AudioQuest wire but can attest from my experience that the KS6063 and KS1116 wire you are considering are quite go... | |
What process do you use to purchase cables? For me the process in which I have the most confidence is to work with my dealer and audition various cables. If I did not have access to a dealer with good cables from which to choose I would take advantage of The Cable Company loaner program. ... | |
Kubala-Sosna Cables..... I don't get it ????? @jafant I guess I am pretty late to the Kubala-Sosna party, but this past July I switched the speaker cables and interconnects in my system to that brand and am quite pleased. I auditioned the Emotion, Sensation, Elation! and Realization lines, e... | |
What do audiophiles want from a cable? I agree jmcgrogan2 in that I go for what sounds good to me. It's all part of what I call voicing my system, an exercise that has included not only the cabling but also the speaker crossover components, the tubes used in the preamp & amp, the p... | |
Power conditioner help Arsh,I see the route you’re going. Thanks for the added info. | |
Power conditioner help Arsh,I looked back through the thread and must have missed the reference, but what is the PIR and the XLPC?John | |
Power conditioner help Vic & Jay,From my experience I’d say you are both correct in your comments. I was in the shop one day and saw a couple of Tripp Lite isolation transformers laying around. One was an IS1000 (8.3 Amp rating) and the other was an IS500 (4.2 Amp r... | |
Power conditioner help Arsh,I got my Bryston from Audio Advisor. They were great to deal with. Music Direct carries the Torus. Both carry the P10. I think both might have return policies that will give you the opportunity to demo and return if that should be your de... | |
Power conditioner help Arsh: An opportunity to demo at home is always a great way to go in my opinion.@vicweast: I didn't want to hijack this thread so I sent you an email regarding my Ayon + KT150 tube experience. I have both a Spirit III (office system) and Triton ... | |
Power conditioner help Arsh,My experience with the AVR20 mirrors Vic’s experience with his system as I have not experienced any limitation in current, compression of soundstage, etc. In fact, quite the opposite has been the case. Also, Vic and I use the same amp (Ayon T... | |
Power conditioner help Arsh,The Bryston plugs into the wall, my amp and media player plug into the Bryston. The Torus/Bryston 20-series is a beast. I use a Kimber PK10 Gold to run from the wall to the Bryston, and the PK10 Palladian power cords from the Bryston to the a... | |
Power conditioner help Arsh,I use a Bryston AVR20 isolation transformer and love it. It's the exact same thing as a Torus AVR20, just branded by Bryston, so any review you read on either can be substituted for the other. The AVR series has surge protection, power isol... |
