Wiki up and running
After a few annoying hours of trying to use WordPress as some sort of Wiki I gave up and started a new server.
I found ScrewTurn Wiki and it looks like it’s got just about everything I need to get this project running. The thing is, I need a place to store a lot of the data and documentations I produce at work. I want this data to be available and search-able to the public since I now that a lot of it-guys out there are struggling with similar problems.
You can jump to my wiki by hitting the Wiki-menu at the top of this site. Please note that the wiki is in swedish to keep it simple for me to update, but if you have non swedish language settings in your OS Google translate will kick in and translate if you wish.
Long time, no update
Well it’s been a long time since I updated this page and it’s time to write something.
The photography has taken a new turn. I’m now focusing (ha ha) on macro photography and I’m planning my new macro studio at home.
I’ve ordered a few parts that will make life easier, a new lens bellow and a 4-way focusing rail. New bouncers, light and flashes will be permanently mounted in the studio.
I’m also planning on taking the step to full frame rather than crop sensors but I doubt there will be any noticable difference in the shots. Maybe it’s just my crave for gadgets.
So stay tuned for updates!
Cable, wire or cord…
New front speakers purchased (Bowers & Wilkins DM684) and my old Tara Labs Klara speaker cables just don’t cut it anymore. I’ve been looking for a set of well documented cables that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and they also have to look good. I needed 2 x 2,5 meter cables with banana connectors in both ends, I’m not going to bi-wire or bi-amp.
The brands and products I have been looking at are:
Van Den Hul / The D-352 Hybrid
- Ugly cable with no sleeves or anything
- Not many references
+ Good thickness
Chord / Carnival Silver Screen
- A bit to thin for my taste
+ People using smaller speakers like it
Audioquest / Type 4
+ Good looking cable
+ People love it regardless of speaker size
Supra / PLY/s
- Mixed reports
- Have to terminate it myself
+ Good thickness
The winner is….. Audioquest / Type 4
UPDATE:
The Audioquest cables went back to the dealer.
After trying out some Chineese cables (YYW Premium Gold Plated Audiophile Speaker Cable 2 x 2.5m) I was hooked. For a fraction of the price of the Audioquest I got this good looking, beefy cable that oozes quality! And the best part I can’t hear any difference at all!!
I upgraded my amp to a D3 A100 Class A amp from Swedish XTZ and the combo is amazing!
