This is the black jacketed version of Belden 8402 that someone mentioned the other day. This is pretty beefy cable, well shielded, rubber jacket. (Black version is 8412). This should make some exceptional interconnects.
Thanks for the tune, been a long time since I heard that. I believe the last time was a family reunion about 25 yrs ago.
How is anything grounded in avionics?..
Paladin79,
If you haven't looked into Tekton Design loudspeakers, I strongly suggest doing so. I have built folded horns, various open baffles, owned and/or have been fortunate enough to get quite a bit of listening time on many highly regarded (often well over $10K) speakers etc etc...
I owned a pair of Tekton 'Lore' floor-standers for couple of years, and I can say that at $1,100 (with optional grills) they were by far the best all-around loudspeakers I've encountered under, say, $2,500. In fact, they had some exceptional qualities which were noteworthy regardless of price. I reluctantly sold the Tektons due to moving, etc and have missed them since.
I'm quite particular in demanding good midrange/vocals reproduction from loudspeakers, and also a bit of a resolution junkie. Though the Tekton Lores were not the final word in resolution, they nonetheless delivered far more detail and nuance than expected, in addition to producing deep articulate bass, great dynamics and an impressive sense of scale. All of the amplifiers I used at home with the Lores were rated at 10 watts output or less --in fact 1 or 2 good watts was really all the power I needed.
FYI: Like Schiit, Tekton builds with pride and quality right here in the USA
At any rate, I would not hesitate to recommend Tekton to any serious music lover
On the way to lake tonight I sold my old man on a new phono/amp/speaker setup. Going to be replacing the all in one he got for Christmas from jcp about 10 yrs ago. Will definitely check out Sol and Mani in the next few months. Anyone got suggestions on a good pair of 150-250 speakers? He mainly listens to classic rock, some 60-80s country. Crutchfield has some elac debut b5s a d Martin & Logan LX16s on sale for under 250. I haven't done any research on them thus far.
Also we just uncorked a bottle of Scotch at the family cabin. Heading out for fire, music, booze and conversation. Hope you all get a chance for similar gatherings with friends and family in the near future. People who love and are loved live longer (according to the internet).
