| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding Completely agree with the "smoothing of edginess" and "enhancements in staging" but I would say that the dramatic staging improvement is most immediately noticable. I also noticed a blacker noise floor with the active shielding. There are two maj... | |
| new amp vs old amp Ampzilla: your "brief A/B testing" makes it seem as though neither piece was warmed up thoroughly. By "thoroughly warming up" I mean powered on for at least 30 hours. In solid state equipment it takes that long a time for the power supply regulat... | |
| Granite Audio Power cord 555 lame lame lame | |
| Speaker Cable Terminations Read the Audioquest white paper & then read MIT's Bruce Brisson's conflicting opinions regarding crimp / vs. solder. Then flip a coin. | |
| Granite Audio Power cord 555 All I have to add is that I tried the 555's & sent them back. They were lame from day one; breakin for several hundred hours was of no help. I was supposed to receive a "full refund" but they withheld 10%; not that it was any big deal but was ... | |
| Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable I've had a couple versions of Monster Cable & then Audioquest Crystal, before trying out MIT. Now after several very satisfied years with MH750+ I recently upgraded to MH750 Magnum BiWire and am very pleased. System is more detailed, effortles... | |
| Where s the bass? Must agree with Dekay; try experimenting with different upgrade AC cables on all components to recover tonal balance / synergy. | |
| Klipsch, high end? Viking there is absolutely NO metal at our house, nor any rap-crap for that matter either. And don't even SAY that B-word! These classics are so revealing that you won't like 'em unless the setup is just right (which is not easily done) so your ex... | |
| Klipsch, high end? Ez I was waiting to see if you have anything more to add before I jump back in :-) Dynamat on SIDEwalls is something I'm going to ask you about; that sounds interesting (most people just put it on the horns). However even the good old Klipsch can... | |
| a BAD BAD Day for Digital Justlisten do you have an ohmmeter or access to one? Or even a rudimentary automotive test light? You simply need to check for continuity between component's chassis ground & the IEC's third pin to determine if that connection is made. Data i... | |
| Klipsch, high end? I've heard both extremes: seems that people either really like Klipsch, or they *really* don't! I've always been a fan of Khorns, & ever since I was privileged to spend some time with Mr. P.W.K. himself, I simply HAD to get a pair for my own. ... | |
| HORN SPEAKERS? Just gotta love them ole' horns! | |
| Dedicated line vs. power conditioner Simply unloading the multi-tapped house circuit will absolutely not come even close to comparing with the superior performance of a properly engineered dedicated line. There are normally multiple connections & wire splices along the way throug... | |
| Acceptance Angle of FM Antenna Sounds like this "acceptance angle" is inversely proportional to antenna gain. You want that gain, normally the more the better. If you want to listen to stations from different cities, then a rotor is the way to go. If you're only focused on 1 ci... | |
