| What is a good base for speakers Symposium Svelteshelf, add some rollerblocks and you are home free | |
| A different view of power cords In my experience only solid core power cables are producing clean sound. Acoustic Revive, Furutech, Oyaide, Nordost etc. | |
| Kiwi Mad Science Another shout-out for the Mad Scientist: his Graphene Contact Enhancer is magic sauce. Prior to trying it, I had moved from Caig Deoxit Gold to Acoustic Revive ECI-50 with clear improvements in both cases. Potency of the GCE is in a different leag... | |
| Streaming an aid to enjoyment My experience meanwhile is 180 degrees opposed to the OP. Anyone claiming that ripped CD sounds better than a Qobus HD stream most likely hasn‘t spent sufficient effort in tweaking their streaming setup. There are numerous threads here on improvin... | |
| Snake oil?? Have now applied Madscientistadio.com’s Graphene Contact Enhancer with great results. I started with Caig Deoxit Gold, moved on to Acoustic Revive ECI-50 spray and now applied the above to the same contacts. In each step there was a clear improvem... | |

| Switching to battery power @millercarbon,how did you convert your Verus Rim Drive and what is involved? Sounds very intriguing. What weight is your platter? | |
| Switching to battery power My Zyx Artisan phono stage is battery-powered and hard to beat in terms of S/N ratio and speed. As pointed out above it makes most sense where small amounts of DC power are needed. That said anyone converting a whole system with a Tesla power cell... | |

| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system For the sake of y’all: commenting on things you have not heard on account of some spurious third party opinion is uncool and a waste of everybody’s time. Rspectful comments get you further than invective. And finally: enjoy the music, it’s the mos... | |
| Snake oil?? Not that I have compared the two: there is another graphene paste from madscientistaudio.com in NZ which comes at a much more accessible price with similar acclaim. I chose to order it after having had a very good experience with Acoustic Revive E... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? @mahgister,thank you for appropriately calibrating my comment: not l’Homme Machine but rather the current limitations to defining appropriate measurement in borderline acoustical phenomena were my direction of travel. This level of debate, though ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? @kevn,methinks the basic fallacy isn’t that computers can’t hear but rather that Human minds haven’t found the right measurement methods to program them appropriately. Ultimately AI will lead us to codify hitherto uncodified human sentiments such ... | |
| Is Innuos Zenith or Statement Overkill with a High-End Streaming DAC? Don‘t even think of ‘upgrading’ by getting rid of the Zenith! It’s a great streamer. When upgrading the DAC think of getting a DAC with an analogue volume control to go directly into your amp. Digital output levels being what they are only need at... |
