Kimber is good but may not be what your system wants. Try a different ic first on the cd...you're looking for tha... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" I've been listening to The Cottars-"Made in Cape Breton" a lot and am getting into Ami DiFranco-"Evolve". She is an acquired taste but this cd is growing on me. Sean, thanks for the heads up on the New Jonny Cash. I'll have to check that out. | |
| Found an interesting way to compare IC cables... It is hard to guess how IC's react with the equipment. A friend of mine uses siltech gen3 ic's. He has a single-ended[Bruce Armstrong non-pariel preamp]. Magic. He tried them on my pre[also single-ended]. More magic....the best I every heard from ... | |

| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Dan Wright is Right! And yes, the sheets are grey cloth with bits of "other materials, perhaps mysterious metals?" embedded in them. You can easily cut them but I'm not using them inside any equipment. I believe they're conductive. They redirect, ... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? ERS sheets from Stillpoints.USA or from Audio-Buff.com. I've just started using these sheets. In my system they are a keeper. Check out the mini review at positive-feedback...you'll be hearing more about these things.... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Check out "stones and balls" in the tweaks forum at Audio Asylum....these "superballs" are the tweaks I'm keeping....the best isolation I've tried, cheap but seriously good.... | |
| Lack of Simaudio Home Theater You could check with Gerard at www.uhf.com/ They are doing a HT setup and I believe they are using some of Sim's HT gear. They also reviewed the attraction before they bought one. They were surprised to find the pre section sounded as good as the ... | |

| What's under YOUR CD player? If you spell your coffee laughing while reading this I'm not responsable. First there is 1" bubblewrap[from advice here on AG]. Thanks again. On top of the Bubblewrap is a maple butcher block. On top of the block are three Smitty Balls[ my version... | |
