Budget hifi setup for organ music

[podknocker]

Don't ask me how it does, i don't know the technical reasons

All i know is silver cables can sound different in the high compared to copper cables, often it's brighter

Where did you get this information?

I can guarantee the electrons in silver, are the same as those found in copper. The only difference being silver is more willing to move charge, being the best conductor, of any metal.

Because i have copper and silver speaker cables

No further questions, your honor.

We need a cabling section, without any moderators. A bit like a HIFI version of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome where there's just a free for all rant about this topic. No rules! Carnage.

...and without knowing, just by listening, you can tell whether it's copper or silver cable can you? eh?eh?eh? come on, tell us 😆

There really needs to be a forum subsection set aside for cables, where people can (respectfully) argue round in circles till they die.
But this ain't it.
So who knows of budget hi-fi for organ music?

I was just typing to that effect when your post came up 👍

The 'believers' are STILL unable to use science (physics) to prove fancy cables sound better.

I'm a reductionist. Biology is based on Chemistry, is based on Physics, is based on Quantum Mechanics etc.

We can't prove if or why fancy cables sound better, so until someone can, they can't.

I remember the forum with no moderators.

One cable thread ended with threats of phoning the police !

Crikey!

'I'll strangle you with my Nordost speaker cable, it will be quicker than if I used some cheap old QED 79 strand' etc.

It's copper and plastic. There are more important things to worry about.

Please take the cable discussions elsewhere, they are off topic. Feel free to start one about different cable constructions in the accessories section - this thread is not about cables.

You'll also note that commenting in moderation is against forum rules, so if you please. The task is thankless enough without members trying to second guess what goes on in our heads!

Not quite. More rolling of the eyes.

EDIT: rather than go around in circles, members should feel free to use the 'report' function when cables get dragged in where they are not pertinent.

Well said.

Budget hifi setup for organ music is the topic, but I'm not sure there is a combination of components out there, ideally suited to organ music.

It is a tricky one.

Are there any cheap speakers available, with the ability to recreated the depth, resonance and timbre of a church organ?

Some pipes can vibrate at 16Hz!

I recall the first time I heard my system able to give an organ even the tiniest semblance of reality. It takes power and appropriate speakers.

 

[podknocker]

My favourite piece of music is Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and I have 3 copies on CD, as they cost 99p per disc.

I play one now and then and it reminds me how rubbish most modern music sounds and how a great deal of decent modern music owes its existence to what Bach and many other Baroque composers wrote, all those years ago.

People will be playing Bach for another 350 years, but most of the current music will fade away very soon.

Harbeth M40.3 XD at the end of a Hegel H590?

Might come close.

(furiously checks lottery tickets)

Apologies.

But how would this sound in your living room?

Terrible I reckon.

You need the space to appreciate this sort of setup.

My living room is 4x5m

I doubt I could get the daddy Harbeths through the door.

These days they'd send 6 cars to deal with such trivia......while terror suspects slip out of prison.

...Back to organ hi-fi....a cheap subwoofer must be involved.

EXACTLY.
(On both points).

McIntosh's bassy PS2K powered sub is a mammoth unit with an equally mammoth price tag

Got a spare £50K / $50K? The PS2K could be for you...
