Anthony, the rock located in a middle gives a
great advantage of shortest and symmetric cables.[/quote]But it is only the interconnects to the amplifiers that need to be longer...no others...speaker cables stay as is...a...

[quote user="Amir"]
I think if you use Pure Power 3000+ it is better to use shorter power cables (2m is very good) . the bass and attacks are better with shorter Power cables.
you should not have any ground loop in your system if you use Pure P...

Tim, you see I have no specification that the cable might be built I have only requirements. I have no idea what kind cable making specifications should be consider in order a cable yield this or that sound. Purist does build custom cables but primar...

I think considering carbon cables for limited frequency range is not a bad idea.van den hul have some carbon cables, they never improved their carbon cable but current models in my idea have a good sound.carbon have some restriction but in a proper c...

Dear Drdna, I red with interest about your experience in cables would you please give us more info. As I 'm sure many audiophiles are tired of spending $10000000000for cables which actual material cost are $0.00000000000001!Armen...

[quote user="glaesemann"]Roman in a few posts you have made reference to the interesting topic of cable current loading. I'm keenly interested in your findings.[/quote]
Glaesemann, there is not a lot to talk about it. My observation showed that prac...

Last year while I was in the search for my actual DAC I came across lossless site ... and now I rememeber on their dac they are using batteries as a an alternative mode to ac . Also I found very interesting the concept that they use in their cables t...

Must add that there is also a "break-in" phenomenon with power cords, as there is with other cables, further contributing to the confusion.Borrowing pre-owned cables from some place may be a good idea, but one doesn't know how long they've been used....

Dear Romy,Almost every audiophile I've seen think audio gear are like refrigerators, washing machine or any home appliance. You should justplug and play. At best they change interconnect or speaker cables and by A/B testing try to find out which soun...

It looks like Purist introduced a new line of cables: Proteus Provectus. Dave Clark from “Positive Feedback” made a write up about those new cables. Hmmm… I do not like what I have read, particularly reading some things between the lines:

on Friday I will test CEC TL0X with MAcbook Pro/Berkeley USB to SPDIF Converter.The Berkeley Alpha USB use the Wavelength Streamlength asynchronous code. Mr.Gordon Rankin programmed these codes and sold the patent to some company like Ayre, Berkeley,...

Over 10 year later, I finally "finished" and installed a shielded version of the above cable for the short run between my phono SUT and my phono stage, replacing the nondescript Placette cables I've been using there all this time. As anyone experien...

Still being pissed that my second arm/cartridge does not sound as good as my first one I decides to get another phono DIN-RCA cable – I have my reasons to be suspicions now about my kinky Micro Fat cable. So, talking about different manufacturers som...

Alex, I "invented" and built my own power cables from scratch, using sleeved, solid, 12AWG Cu magnet wire, as I explained to Jarek, way up this thread. If buying pre-fab cables, I would first consider Speltz. As for "oiling" the wire, I don't know ab...

[quote user="Paul S"]but it sounds like you just described the Nordost Valhalla cables, just after they break in, just before the HF shimmer short circuits. Or, maybe Nordost has fixed the part where they age badly with the Mk II, SE, the same way PA...

Hm, I took the anti-RIAA signal converted and run CD player into the phonostage. The RIAA curve was fine and the effect of the HF volume and frequency-depended quantization did not expose itself. So, it looks like the phonostage is not a problem afte...

In this exalted company its probably not up to much but I've not heard anything else demo-ed that makes me want to change. :)Front end: Vista laptop with XXHighend software (best sounding bargain in Hi Fi). Fireface 400 external soundcardDAC/Pre amp:...

So I am currently working towards this concept for my Macondo (see below) and I have just the Upperbass horns left to turn and prep. I am thinking about how to best integrate the DSET with Macondo and have come up with something like this… Perha...

This is very ugly topic as I have been looking a solution for years and I do not have a consensus with myself regarding this. I have 21 AC power consumers in my playback. Well, the 21 that require good power, another 8 might be plugged to the utility...

It is fashionable among audio people to play with this analog, rewiring tonearms for instance. It always astonished me how masochistic this ceremony is and how many people dive into it completely voluntary.
Ok, let me explain you something. In MC an...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

Robert Levi from Positive Feedback posted a review about a new company from California – Wywires. The company reportedly does custom cables. It picked my interest on multiple levels. Since Purist went down in quality I do not have a cable supplie...

As usual, great advice Romy. Cables…. It is all depends of the cable and current.At it's highest 2.5V setting, the FryKleaner Pro passes ~25mA current. I don't know if it scales proportionally for the lower 0.78V & 0.25V settings at ~8mA or ~0.25...

[quote user="Vance"] Romy, it takes several months for those blackgate caps to fully calm down…. [/quote]
Actually I take more like several decades and then 5 years after you each time shut down the unit for 5 minutes. I am known to be not a huge fu...

Keeping beaching about Spectral I have to admit that I did hear a very serious presentation of Spectral results. It was quite a few years back. The setup was entire spectral line with CD, transports, DAC, preamps and monoblocks. The key was to shunt ...

I have not seen it mentioned but I might of missed it. The PurePower absolutely demands shielded interconnects especially between preamp and amp in my experience. No matter how careful I route the cables, I was getting noise or buzzing from the speak...

I also got tired of reading all the DIY posts on the S&B 102. And yes, I have done the numbers, and it would be possible to adversly affect bass with high impedance feeds and/or long, bad cables feeding this unit, coupled to ...

Romy, of course I know your horn is very efficient, and of course I do not mean amp output but plate dissipation, just as you did when you mentioned 50 - 60 W. So, why the hell would that output tube clip into 1 Watt load? I would be wondering, too...
