| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Foster 9, Try inviting a friend over, putting on a very familiar track at an involving level, closing your eyes and having him/her quietly unplug the power cord from the wall and back in again a few times without telling you when and determine if ... | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Pani- Yes, the PurePower is different. The stored power available on demand in the massive batteries is probably the reason the dedicated lines, the Maestro outlet and the expensive power cord from the wall to the 1050 did not show any audible dif... | |
| Critical Listening Training Document Judsauce, Thanks! A great post from a kindred spirit. That hypnotic groove machine zone is an indescribable state of musical nirvana for musicians. How lucky are we to have experienced that in this life, huh?Dpac996, #25 is the punch-line to this ... | |
| Best 6SN7 Pre Amp tubes? Hey Tube Gurus, your opinion please.This is a bit off topic, but close enough, I think.My VAC Phi 200 amp uses 6NS7GTs for the voltage amplifier/phase splitter, and drivers. The power tubes are KT88 and I just rolled the new Gold Lion KT88 reissue... | |
| Amp for Thiel CS 2? What timing... I just sold my 1986 CS2s and they left my house 10 minutes ago! A 15 year old son of friends of ours bought them, and I promised him I would help him choose an integrated amp that would drive them.Any ideas on SS integrateds that co... | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Oh, Inna, you're making fun of my madness... bring it on, I'm a proud audio nutcase! Thanks for all your input ;-)I bow to you, Snopro... You were a very early adopter of this game-changing technology. Well done!Mceljo, the exploration of possibil... | |
| Critical Listening Training Document I know, Isochronism, it was a tough call... should there be an "age of consent" for underage audiophiles?I like Anonymoustao's take on it: that is, indeed, one auspicious beginning for a 15 year old.As for me, it's totally selfish I feel good th... | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? Mceljo, Yeah, refreshing isn't it? What I appreciate about them is absence of hype, availability of technical white papers to back up their findings, and they let their customers do the rest with glowing testimonials from all over the world. Snopr... | |
| Critical Listening Training Document You're very welcome, Anonymoustao. Here's an update on this document's history and future:For 22 years, it was in a file with all my old owner's manuals, but I had not found it until recently, when I was looking for the original manual and brochur... | |
| Critical Listening Training Document Cymbop,I know what you mean. I was a drummer for many years, and always looked first to the bass line for integration. I found that when I was in sync with the bassist, the rest fell into place easily and then no one had to think anymore, as the m... | |
| Your Worst WAF Incident Nietzschelover,Thanks for sharing your client's unfortunate story. It does prove, however, that the well-built SME tonearms have a lot of air and attack! Sorry, couldn't help myself. | |
| I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too? I did what I said I would do, and finally, this one-man jury has reached a verdict.Conclusion: In all the A/B tests and experimentation I've conducted since my original post, I have arrived at the answer that in my system, high-end power cables co... | |
| Critical Listening Training Document I just ordered the book as well. This will be the first book I'll read on my iPad. How times are changing... | |
| headphones-amp combination FWIW, if you're also considering home use set-ups, the tube headphone amp I chose for my AKG K702s is the crazy good Raptor by Ray Samuels Audio. Most important to me was to satisfy these two questions, which would apply to any purchase, portable ... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super Nsgarch,Darn it, that makes so much sense! Buying 5 would have been wise. But my order shipped this morning. Funny that the tube dealers don't suggest this to all their OCD audiophile customers. I wonder if they keep the test results so they could... |
