Best Day Ever.....so far

Posted by Awe-d-o-file (D) on March 30, 2014 at 07:22:09

Yesterday was the most satisfying listening I have ever done here in this house with this gear in over 12 years here. In the last couple of years the final tweaks have really paid dividends: more room acoustic treatments, better digital playback from cabling and music server among the primary changes.

Yesterday took another level perhaps from two things I did change: I implemented the final piece of DIY 14 gauge copper foil speaker cable to the LF side of my bi-amp and the other is I now unplug the laptop PS that my wife is almost always using in the same room as I listen.

The last few times I have unplugged the PS and HF is much smoother and the difference is easy to hear. Just yesterday the final piece of DIY speaker cable was installed and the image improved a lot in both size and coherence. The image got bigger but the mono image dead center also improved and the way it was presented was much better. Pans where part of the music travels from channel to channel "tracked" much better with no dead spots or holes. It was a whole new experience where image integrity was concerned.

So what do you suggest we do about it? - rickmcinnis@dogwoodfabrics.com 13:45:36 04/02/14 (0)

I'm all aboard the tubular wire train as I mentioned. Can I suggest you give streamers a whirl sometime? Nt - geoffkait 07:48:41 03/31/14 (8)

I thought you were using STREAMERS as a "nickname" - rickmcinnis@dogwoodfabrics.com 11:09:46 03/31/14 (7)
