| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? Looking forward to it. I hope you won't neglect to describe WHY these improvements are relevant and significant (read: material) when applied to a power cord, not just that your cables measure better than others. Said differently, why is better im... | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? Your last abbreviation, "YMMV", is exactly what I expect manufacturers to respond with. Some hear differences and others don't, and I am glad you do. In my case, I even used a Sidewinder CX directly to one of the Spectral amps, and the stock cord ... | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? Grant,if you want to drag Spectral into this conversation I suggest you first learn how to spell Rick's last name. Every time a manufacturer gets into these discussions all they end up doing is offering more of the same - nothing; the end result i... | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? Grant,You and so many other manufacturers are simply missing the point that, just because something is expensive to manufacture, doesn't necessarily make it _materially_ BETTER. Better constructed perhaps, but not necessarily with audible effect -... | |
| Phono preamp for Dynavector XX2mkII Tom, I think they are both excellent phono stages; in my case, I really wanted XLR-in which does reduce noise by a small but easily audible 4-5 dB margin. Although I have some hiss, I no longer have hum. Eliminating hum was a bear for me, and had ... | |
| Phono preamp for Dynavector XX2mkII I didn't like the BPS - warm balance, not adequate macro dynamics due to inadequate power supply, soft micro dynamics, rendering choruses too far into the hall so as to not to be challenged - overall, tube simulation using solid state. I suspect i... | |
| Phono preamp for Dynavector XX2mkII I use the Ayre P-5xe with this cartridge balanced-in-and-out, and the combo outperforms my Berkeley Alpha DAC with the same recordings, in an otherwise all-Spectral system. So far, this phono stage holds very well its own within the much more expe... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 The point that Keithr may have tried to make is that they will dilute the value of the Sasha by making a comparable speaker at 10 grand less. | |
| Magico q5 vs. m5 Has Burmester now gotten out of car audio and into high end? | |
| Zerostat Red vs Blue No, my new blue makes 3 clicks. See other thread about bad construction quality. This is my second '3 in one year - the trigger broke on the old one. Shoddy product. | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? All affected should be aware that there is research to regrow cochlear hair, and so far researchers have been successful in growing more (not re-growing after apoptosis or complete deafness) cochlear hair in mice (a mammal) as of 2-3 years ago, un... | |
| Nordost Tyr vs Valhalla You may find this review http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_14_3/nordost-tyr-cables-9-2007.html interesting... No easily discernible difference between the two cables. I use the Valhalla in my VPI tonearm and the Tyr from the junction to the pr... | |
| Milty Zerostat - Questions Jferreir, your assertion of how the gun should be used is very accurate in my book. However, what you describe with the trigger and the faint bulb light indicates a broken gun. Mine broke the same way last week after a year's light use and have or... | |
| Amp Power Conditioner or not? Here's my experience in brief... To paraphrase what Rrog said, if you want true power conditioning get a generator; nothing else comes close or completely solves the problem, not even so-called dedicated lines, unless you are wired directly from a... | |
