Mike Goppert, proprietor of Timbre Dynamics, is preparing to send me the custom cable lifters I ordered. I am expecting them to look great on the walnut floor.

Ron, those look like three different types of supports. Could you explain why they’re different and what you are planning to support with them? The set on the left is very similar to the ones in the middle but the left edge is a different angle.

There are only two types of supports: singles and doubles. The single units support one cable, and the double units support two cables arranged in parallel. From the opening of the conduit in my right side wall the interconnects will run parallel until the left channel interconnects run past the right channel interconnects and continue on by themselves to the left channel.

I don’t know about different angles — that must just be how the photo was taken. Each piece should be symmetrical.

These lifters will be used to support interconnects and speaker cables and power cables.

Thank you Ron. Are the double supports for interconnects running parallel and the single ones for power cords and speaker cables?

it could just be the angle from the photos but the base looks like there’s an angle and the left edge looks like it’s 90° from the top and perpendicular. I was just curious if they were meant to be put against the wall or something with that right angle.

The burning question remains what happens if you cradle two wires in the single ones! :eek:

I originally intended the double supports for Interconnects running parallel, yes. But now I am planning to run two pairs of cables from the line stage, so I will have to figure out how to arrange the cables on the supports. I may just order from Mike a bunch more double units, and use the single units for power cables and speaker cables.

The lifters should be perfectly symmetrical, not straight on one side and sloped on the other.

I used special ceramic cable lifters, back when i ran cables on carpet. The extra little loop could be used for for interconnects ! Or just for holding when used for coffee! ;) 974130EF-0D3C-4FE2-8512-1F61B830C7BA.jpeg DD8A49F9-9D2C-4005-9B46-79A449BE3827.jpeg

If they are the Gryphon speaker's with the ribbons they stopped making Ron, I am curious why.

If Gryphon can't support them with replacements in the future, I think you will be able to find suppliers that can make something for you.

I must admit, when you look out there for what people can and cannot do, the best technologies have support if they really are good.

So enjoy my non-post of any note, and get those fuckers set up for a fucking good time;)

LAMPIZATOR BALTIC 4 HAS ARRIVED!!!

The age of digital has dawned here!

Listening to music through a Lampizator Pacific at audioquattr’s several years ago was the first time I could listen to digital without fatigue, and just relax and enjoy the music. I have felt the same way every single time I have ever listened to any Lampizator DAC.

For whatever reasons, Lampizator just works for my ears.

The Baltic 4 sounds amazing! It is resolving and dynamic, yet also liquid and analog-like — all at the same time. I do not understand how Lucasz what he does!

Truly, I have trouble imagining how a GG3 or a Horizon could sound better than this!

Audioquattr’s digital, both PAC 242 and horizon with Mullards is the best I have heard with heihei’s 242 pacific, that too just streaming from tidal random meh quality recordings. Sure files and CDs with them will be better. AQ used Taiko and w20, Taiko better but both good, and heihei’s was LDMS. Lampi works for any ears provided they are willing to listen and ignore price stickers

Congrats on a great choice. If you already love it with those blue balls you will love it even more with Mullard ecc32 or some TungSol 6sn7. Anyhow there are plenty great tube advises in B3 thread.
Enjoy it in good health.
