ljmac Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) So the new cables are finally done? Will have to try them out - when I have some money. Will have to do a GTG at my place when I finally get the FDAC and USB Detox - John Westlake is just as slow and perfectionist as MIke.

Jventer Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Great news Mike. I hope all the members around Coffs are coming and bringing prospective purchasers with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffinator Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Mike, I'd love to hear this, as I'd like to hear your new cables with the ML2 speakers. My amp is far more modest than the examples given.... When will the speaker cables be available to buy? My Ribbonteks need an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Ribbonteks need an upgrade Hi John I'm waiting for a shipment of the new ribbon wire before we can build some production cables but we are talking a few weeks I guess. I have a 2mtr pair and two 1.5mtr pairs at the moment. 2mtr Pair $1500 1.5mtr Pair $1450 . They take my son Andrew 14hours to build a 2.5mtr Pair over a 3 day period . The difference between the old RibbonTek and the new FoilTek speaker cable is VERY significant . Regards Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name implies an even thinner layer of copper - would this make them less physically robust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcarp Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Not sure what the source could be but time will tell! My source is an Intel NUC powered by a 12 volt LPS with an internal SSD. Fed from a NAS. Assisted by a REGEN also fed from the LPS and the Curious Link cable. Software is Microsoft Server 2012 with the Audiophile Optimizer. Player is JRiver. Anyone with a better source is welcome to bring it along. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey d Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I shall be also taking along the PS Audio Perfectwave CDT for those wanting to listen to the excellent playback format of the silver disc. Onya Daz. I have 2 or 3 tracks that can make an interesting listen. I recently put some Antipodes Audio speaker cables in my rig that are end game for me, but I won't confuse matters by offering them for comparisons.

Darren69 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) You could bring them, the worst that could happen would be that we run out of time to try them etc but I doubt it would matter if you brought the Antipodes stuff along, most would want to hear them, me included. @@alcarp might further advise Mikey. I will bring a CD with a some nice bassy stuff on it that @@JukKluk2 sent me, with some assorted others. I think most there would like Slipknot.

bhobba Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys I am not well at the moment. I have Bells Palsy (one side of your face gets paralysed) that I am only about 60% recovered from. Because of that my eye was unable to blink and was open during sleep - it became very dry and I developed a corneal ulcer. By applying lubricating eye ointment a lot during the day and before I went to sleep the ulcer healed in about a week but unfortunately my eye doctor noticed some corneal thinning where the ulcer was that concerned him. The thinning can grow and perforate the eye. However he thinks by applying the ointment that will not happen so every 3 hours or so I have to goop my eye up with lubricating ointment. It makes my vision blurry and while I feel safe driving where I live making a long trip is out. He is going to review it in a months time and will see what the go is then. Anyway the upshot is while I would like to go I cant make it so wish those that go all the best and look forward to the write up. Thanks Bill Edited March 25, 2016 by bhobba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
