Redirecting bass frequencies
Right now I have a chance to buy Eighth Nerve seams. They are a little more affordable than Echo Busters. Just curious what opinion people have about these.... 
Redirecting bass frequencies
REALTRAPS is actually too industrial looking. I did go to the site and read through it, make a lot of sense, but my listenning room is also a living room. Unfortunately I can not have anything that looks like the realtraps stuff. Anything that int... 
What's the best CD and/or multiplayer today
Dodson DA-218 DAC with a really good transport. This dac sounds terrific. Liquid smooth with great extension and deep soundstaging. Best piece of digital gear I ever heard. $8000.00 
Your say - AudioQuest DBS system
I gave Jaguar a try recently. Returned it. Not good in my system, too laid back, very thin sounding. As for DBS, I found the cable to sound best EVERY time after about 2 hours of playing time. Not the case with Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref II interconn... 
Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?
I'm not an expert, but I think you understand it correctly. Could you please keep me posted on what happens. I am just curious what will be the solution for you. thanks 
Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps
LS-15 production with infincaps I think started on or around `'99 - '00. Also, along with infinicaps, ARC started making LS-15 with detachable power cord. Not being a big fan of replacement power cords, I don't care about that particular change 
Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?
from the manual for N805... same as on my manual for N803. They recommend shotgun bi-wire cable. Which I think is the way to go. Check it out."All connections should be made with theequipment switched off. There are 2 pairs of terminals at the bac... 
Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?
Oh...also, in your room it might be different with toe in. I said about a foot in front of me but I did check and they just cross in front of my face, not a foot, but may be 3-4 inches in front of me. But you know you have to experiment. And the f... 
Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue?
Hope you're OK man! It'd be a shame if the speakers did it to you... but I don't think so. Here is what I think about bi-wiring the B&Ws N803(I know you have the 805, but I think it applies). First thing that I notice when listenning with a si...

Thanks. This is what I am talking about!!! Great suggestions. As I said before, I really like my LS-15 and just looking to improve the way it sounds. Selling it and getting something better is certainly an option in the future, when I really get s... 
Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps
Agree...those sovtek 6922 tubes that come with the LS-15 are not worth the effort. I did replace them with nos Amperex EC88 it is much smoother now. what is ei 6dj8? what brand is that? 
Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps
Thanks gents! I do like my LS-15 a lot, have it for long time and I am the original owner. I just heard that infincaps take this already fine sounding pre-amp a little further up sonically. That's the reason I was looking into upgrading it with in... 
Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps
Jl35I assume the upgrade had noticable impact? Resolution, bass... Where is the most change in the way it sounds now? Could you please xpand on it a little?Thanks a lot. 
Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps
I think I neded to be more clear in my original post, but I will clarify this a bit now. I don't want to sell my LS-15 and replace it with something else. All I would like to hear is if someone had compared the one with infinicaps to the one with ...

Warnerwh thanks. I did think of that before and decided against it. Your suggestion, though, is not an answer to my question. But thanks anyway.
