Another vote for this comparison, would prefer vs Linn Silver :-)

Back to connecting speaker cables:
Is there any consensus regarding the performance of Neutrik Speakon?

VDE 0113 - EN 60204-1:2006/AC:2010 Section 13.3.1 (VDE - Association of German Electrical Engineers) If devices or terminals do not have suitable connection options for multi-wire conductors, the conductor ends must be fitted with wire end ferrules or similar. Solder must not be used for these purp...

Hermann wrote: ↑2024-06-11 07:56 Incidentally, the use of wire end ferrules for flexible cables in the mains area is mandatory in Germany, soldering or just twisting the wires is prohibited.

You can use the Neutrik PowerCon series without ferrules.

Thanks to everyone. I was a little sure that the soldered Deltrons would be recognized. A are the Deltrons. It should be noted that the screwed banana plugs are available per set (4 pieces) for EUR 6.90. See link below. They are also available as rhodium-plated OFC copper. The torque for securing t...

Sopper wrote: ↑2024-06-10 20:40 Yeah, they have a system to secure all wires in a tight fit
The banana plug Hermann showed, definitely not…

So we have to be careful with absolute statements.
For my 3677s for example I made a fork from the speaker cables themselves so no need for other materials for the connection.

An average screw fix on stranded wires without the use of ferrules leads to several, if not half, strands making no contact or insufficient contact. In my experience this leads to worse sound. It depends. For example I changed the mains connectors of my devices to Neutrik Powercon 32A. They make a ...

Congrats Fredrik,
any pics?

So true.......:-)

Let's hope that this year's setup at the High End in Munich improves things. Alas, first indications are, that it may not be so :-(

Wow, full metal jacket !!!

Will anyone be visiting High End Munich this weekend?
I will be there on Saturday and Sunday.

If this helps against attacks it is fine. I have no problems with it. One other forum (Audiogon) use it too.

A few days ago there was a screen for human verification, then it disappeared. Why?

I would agree, but it is very cumbersome as it is.

lejonklou wrote: ↑2024-05-06 19:01 Hmmm. I don’t see any problems at the moment.

And posting this was quick with no issues.

For the last post I had to log in three or four times.
This one was ok.

Posting seems to be impossible. I don't know what's happening.

Prefer B too

Thanks Hermann for posting,
but to me it is just another example of teasing made by Spotify.
Pathetic :-(

On the 4th of May I will visit Sound Odyssey in Buggenhout, Belgium, together with Marco of Hexagon Audio. We will be there during the opening hours to talk and demonstrate Boazu. Maybe SO can make a YT from the session and publish it on their YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@soundodyssey3914/v...

Yes Thomas, you are completely right to go with shorter speaker cables and longer ICs.
It is just in my case that I prefer to have nothing between my speakers and I am fine with my seven meters speaker cables.
So I can nicely feed all from one mains distributor.

Yes, It seems to be possible when you put all your devices between your speakers.......

Tendaberry wrote: ↑2024-03-30 11:03 K248 seems like a good, logical name for them

I am just wondering how many can use such a short speaker cable.

Hermann wrote: ↑2024-03-29 10:24 Once again an interesting result, as we clearly have a preference for the Boazu (Bx.).

Yes, interesting the difference between the in room experience (B) and the clips A:B = 5:3

Do you use any digital devices (servers, streamers, DACs) in your systems and if yes, I am curious which ones?
Thanks again
