Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II
I just received my Sussurro and it sounds great out of the box. Tracking at 1.85 and experimenting between 470 and 1k loading. 1k sounds more lively, and 470 more even keel. Too soon to judge these settings as it should settle in more before givin... 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Reading through this post and I find it interesting that some folks have swapped some pretty expensive cables for these new ones. It seems to me that at the core of these cables, it is a silver core with a braid/wrap which the goal is to eliminate... 
Upgrading Power Service In New Home Build
Hi all, I just wanted to follow-up with what I did to address the power for my new listening room. First, I had the room, actually 2 rooms, completely customized for acoustics, power, and aesthetics (dual use room/home theater/stereo). The contrac... 
Power Cords
Has anyone besides me tried Tempo Electric's custom power cords? I have a pair powering my McIntosh MC2301 amps, off a PS Audio P10, and another one from the wall to the P10. Absolute bliss in mine, and others ears, who have heard my system. Of co... 
Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable!
@prof, Yes, exactly. Something like that should aid tremendously in your vibration mitigation strategies. Glad that you don’t have to worry about airborne transmitted vibrations either👍😀

@prof, What makes this hobby fun is the shared interests and experiences of others to help each other out. In terms of isolation, the more rigid and robust in terms of mass your base platform is, the better it will isolate the rest of the equipmen... 
Room acoustics
Surprised no one has mentioned the room build itself, or as a core component of the acoustic environment. If one has an oportunity, building a room with acoustic design forethought, aids a lot to improve the overall acoustical environment. Of cour...

Oppo UDP - 205
I have a 205 as my current 4K player, and part time SACD / CD player (long story, mac MVP891 damaged during Home theater rack install). I think it plays great with acoustic and jazz music, reminds me of my old long departed Krell SACD in regards t... 
Octave v70se OR v80se
The V80Se almost doubles the power output from the v70’s 70 watts per channel. The S/N ratio and dynamic are nearly identical. If your speakers are efficient, then the V70 is a good option. If you feel the need to splurge, and don’t want to concer... 
Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable!
OP; Welcome to the Transrotor club. Your Fat Bob S will give you years of listening pleasure. I have a Transrotor Apollon with 3 motors and the triangle design with spiked feet going into cones with rubber feet, I think somewhat similar to yours. ... 
Newbie Q: AppleTV to analog only preamp
What I think would be helpful for you is to search for an HDMI multichannel analog converter. This device can be found easily online using that search term. I found some with many different outputs, coax, toslink, analog RCA outs for surround chan...
