| Stillpoints - snake oil? A friend of mine recently tried the Mad Scientist isolation devices under his components with excellent results - don't know if he gives you a trial period but I would sent him a message to see. I think $299 for three. | |

| Tekton Double Impact vs. Vandersteen 2ce sig II My friend just purchased a pair of Vandersteen 3A Signatures used no original box but with two front spikes and some kind of adjustable height bracket that contains the rear spike for $1300 used.

| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? You may have a point, maybe nobody would have designed anything with tubes. I wonder what television would have looked like? Tubes suck. I am laughing my ass off. Guess you just don't know tubes. Happy Listening to my Lafayette KT-550 tube am... | |

| What Drives Meadowlark Audio Herons Nice, but to answer the question from 2005, looks like he was using an old Counterpoint NPS 200 power amp! I used one with my Nighthawks back in the day!Hopefully I can go visit the new line soon in NY.Happy Listening. | |
| Preamplifier power supply Interesting comments. In repairing and building gear I have found that just because something may seem "over built" to some, the manufacturer has designed it that way to work with his component. Think back to Counterpoint. The basic preamps wer... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Mostly the sound will come form the source not the speakers, they only really reproduce what they are being feed. Yep some speakers can do this or that better but the source really IMO makes the sound. Happy Listening. | |
| Dac Technology Mature? Very Interesting. So I guess my DAC with a 30lb power supply would be considered??? Upgrade for future??? PCB layout??? Hmmm what about point-to-point wiring, copper chassis, discrete R2R, Caddock resistors, V-Caps, DHT design? Picking up on ... | |
| Ayre Parasound Pass : where are you? I would start with Pass class A amps and see if you really hear a big difference and go form there.Happy Listening. | |
