Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] XLR-cables ? How much ? Voodoo ?
Balanced I/O is best for very long cable runs. It is unlikely you'd hear any difference between a balanced and an unbalanced run if it is only 1m long. Save your money. Moving your speakers 6" will have a bigger effect on the sound than spending money on expensive/balanced cables.

I can't really answer your question about the guitar "crunch". All I can say is that the Krell+Amayas were a bit forward and not warm enough...and you could say "constricted". The Audion Silver Nights seemed to let the Cadences sound more "free-breathing" (and balanced) throughout *all* the frequencies. It's weird, but this is the magic of valves (with SOME speakers!). I can't see how the soundstage is not forward enough if your 400xi is anything like a KAV-300i. Sounds like you could become a future Naim fiend? I would think three times before getting rid of the Cadences. Better to audition (beg, borrow or steal) some other amps first. Try some powerful valves! If I were you, I wouldn't spend any more money until I could audition my way into understanding the problem better. Also play with rooms and speaker placement as others have advised.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] XLR-cables ? How much ? Voodoo ?
I second opaqueice's & Pat's recommendations. I own a Transporter and had XLR cables made using Belden 1800F cable with Neutrik connectors incl. gold-plated pins. Couldn't be happier and it didn't cost anywhere near that typically charged in the audiofool category. In fact after being offered $700+ Chord interconnects I offered to buy them if the store owner could detect which interconnects I was using on his equipment, but countered that he would have to give them to me if he couldn't.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What speakers should I get?
I don't normally like to promote brands in forums but I noticed you said you don't live near a lot of audio shops. Axiom is an online only company known for their excellent speakers, and truly outstanding customer service. Since Paradigm has already been referenced I'll mention that their floor standers, M60s and M80s are often compared to Paradigm's top Studio series but will cost you less. What made me break my rule for you is that they will talk to you about your requirements, recommend some models and they will let you listen to them for 30 days and if you don't like them, you can ship them back. Takes the ominous part out of buying something unheard. Their forums list people all over who are willing to do demos, because I really do recommend you listen to a speaker before buying. You may see someone in your area. That being said, I'd be willing to bet you would never ship them back once you heard them. I'm not going to say they are the best or that they are better than A or B. But I will say I am extremely happy with mine and trying them for 30 days suits your situation where you are not near any major shops.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] XLR-cables ? How much ? Voodoo ?
Hi, I am until now a quite happy new owner of a transporter. My amp is Marantz PM-11S1 having xlr/symmetric inputs. I heard now that one can easily spend 270 Euro on balanced cables. I think it a bit odd to spend as much on two 100cm cables as a SB3 costs. What do you think and which cables can you recommend and why ? The recommendation was Wireworld cables. Anyone heard of them? For understanding: As far as I know XLR-cables are carrying two signals being exactly phase inverted or opposite amplitude. So if a distortion occurs both signals are being manipulated and the difference is being maintained exactly the same. So one needs not really fear signal distortion by any sort of inductive electromagnetics? And that is my microphones are wired over long distances with symmetric cables.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How is Audiodiffmaker meant to work?
It must have been an interesting challenge trying to write that. It sounds like fun. Could it be such a gradual drift that explains ermine's results? He used the same source (an SB1) each time, and still found a non-zero difference file, but with a partial null partway in. So if the clock rate of the SB1 was slightly different on the two recording sessions, that might account for his results. Seems odd, but maybe it's possible.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Advice to improve Sound.
There are lots of things you can do to improve sound systems andimprove room acoustics but there is also something that unfortunately you can't fix. A bad engineered recording is simply a bad recording. I can't say for sure, of course, that this is your issue but so many sound engineers are over equalizing their recordings. It seemed to start in the 80s with the sudden popularity of boombox style stereos. The effect of loudness was king on a recording at the expense of accuracy. The sad fact is that when you invest in truly accurate sound equipment, it not only makes awesome recordings more awesome but it also presents to you the realities of poor recordings that you might not have heard before. On less accurate systems like Big Box store speakers and MP3 players, the sound is not being produced accurately so it is more 'forgiving' to poor recordings. This creates the irony that many CDs actually sound better on lower end sound equipment than they do on audiophile gear. Same with MP3s. You may find that your compressed music that used to sound great on your MP3 player, now sounds crappy on your expensive speakers. Kind of a conundrum because you can now hear what is not there. I'm no audiophile, golden ear myself but here are two CDs I use to demonstrate this which will be obvious to anyone.. Evanesence - Fallen Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms. Play both CDs on an average sound system or MP3 player. Odds are that Dire Straights will sound a bit better, because it is. It is one of the better engineered CDs out there.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How is Audiodiffmaker meant to work?
I tried a few years ago to write an application similar to audio diffmaker. It's open source http://wavm.sf.net There is even an example of a redigitized signal compared to the source .wav file. The application is not complete, but it shows that: - there's noise but it could be from the CD player (an old Sony car discman) or from the on-board A/D converter. - there is a gradual drift over time because I did not have a dynamic realignment where I readjust the alignment over time to account for CD player system clock error and A/D converter clock error. So there is the key problem: how to do the alignment: a) plain cross correlate only in time domain? This may weight the alignment more towards the larger amplitude low frequencies. b) Pick a few frequncies and monitor the phase between them? c) how to warp the time domains to minimize the error. d) how to cancel out common mode noise (common between the two sources) like 60/50Hz hum. This part can make the error appear to be larger than it is. If you use a single frequency, you may get more clues. ( http://wavb.sf.net is a utility for signle tone .wav files ). And //wava.sf.net does word by word compare between wav files. Audio diff does not appear to be open source, but working with single frequency tones maybe someone can gather some clues. -- kgoulet kgoulet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12688 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37352 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

It's not about the electronics but the electronic components being affected by microphony, which they might be. IMHO, if they are, it's unhearable, at least for me. -- johann johann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10177 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Presumably 4A on that side counts for more than 4A would on someone's long way downstream 110V side since there are proportionally more turns to create a greater magnetic field. -- ermine ermine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30856 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
