Had been running some XLR's between pre & amps and between pre and MCD500 -- after a few months & especially lately, the back of mind had been saying, something is just not right -- everything had seemed veiled or soft or like a blanket had been thrown over my speakers.
Well, went back to my Jack Bybee/Dale Pitcher designed RCA's & it's like old times again. Of course, the RCA's cost much more than the other brand XLR's (1m RCA's are $2K; 2m's are $3K). I didn't notice any significant change or difference when running vinyl -- as I am running identical RCA's on the TT to the pre --BUT, when running the MCD500 (which I have been doing here lately) -- it really started to bug me & alas, I found the problem. Guess there is something to say about Jack & his cable designs using CNT's. I know someone here uses Jacks bullets & swears by 'em. Well, same here with his cables. |

Why do you use Kimber Selects and jumpers instead of biwired cables, like the Kimber Bi-Focal? |

http://home.comcast.net/~mc_audio/zipcord.jpg Image of AWG-10 fine-strand cable from the 1987 Monster catalog. From that length, I cut some five or six cable pairs of various length, many for jumpers. Below you can see Monster `jumpers´ coming off the 4 and 8 ohm amplifier taps, which run out the back of the rack to the floor where they connect to HEAVY barrier strips. http://home.comcast.net/~mc_audio/2205_barriers_2.jpg AWG-10 Monster cables connecting to the MC2205 4 and 8 ohm terminals. They are all broken in now. :D Are you cringing yet? LoL -Gregory |
