My {updated version} of my teflon tape on the ac prongs tweak !... Take three layers of ACE hardware brand teflon tape about 9 inches long and put all of them on top of each other together. Then you wrap it Tightly around one of the ac prongs. You do this to all three ac prongs. This is a...MUST TRY TWEAK !!.. This tweak needs to settle-in good for 4 or 5 days. Here's some pictures of this AMAZING tweak... http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tweaks/messages/16/165450.html |
Believe it or not, installing a pair of Audioprism Ground Controls on my Focal JM Lab BE Micro Utopia speakers not only tipped me to nirvana, but stopped the itch to upgrade. If the pair of Audioprism RCA Ground Controls that are on order do as much as the speaker Ground Controls, I might have to go back on oxygen. |
After 30 years in this hobby, I have found one piece that I think qualifies in answer to your question: the Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC. When I found this, I was about to despair over Redbook CD reproduction. Now I think I may be close to the end of my search for a truly musical sounding system. |
....buying a used pair of Dunlavy SC3's and upgrading from an integrated amp to seperate amp/pre-amp. I can't tell you how good those speakers sound: the clarity, depth, and articulation never cease to amaze me. I bought those speakers 12 years ago and someone will have to tear them from me. Unless, of course, I run across a used pair of SC4a's. (just kidding) |
Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme+++ power amp and Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference speakers. I have been in this hobby for more than 40 years and I keep asking myself "how come I didn't hear about Odyssey Audio much sooner?" This power amp and speakers has brought my system to new heights and I am so amazed at the price to performance ratio. I would have bought these items at 5 times the price, they are that good. |
Hyperion HPS-938 speakers. Open, vivid but natural and relaxed/musical sound (with class D amp) - just opposite to Hi-Fiish sounding speakers. Incredible midrange. Uses speakers without suspension (spiderweb). Midrange 6 1/2" is damped with ferrofluid. Very tuneful bass with very low distortion and natural sounding string attack and decay. First class imaging. Crossover integrates speakers so well that it is difficult to hear transition between them. I can hear extended and natural highs but cannot pinpoint tweeter alone. The only thing is that the are ugly - I mean UGLYYYYY... (but slowly growing on me).

My first stereo system. Purchased with my earned savings when I was in 8th grade. Yea, my equipment got better and better over the years but my first stereo components blew me away (sans any drugs). It got a work out with albums the likes of Jeff Beck-Truth, Stills, Kooper, Bloomfield - Super Session, James Gang - Rides Again, Traffic I, Genesis, Hendrix - Are You Experienced, Jethro Tull - Benefit, Pink Floyd - Meddle, King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King, Led Zeppelin I & II, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Yardbirds, and on and on. |
