| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Tbg, not sure what your basis of comparison was but I have found the Nimbus to be more effective at isolation than anything else, including some of the other products mentioned. It isolates in all planes down to about 0.5 Hz which is far better th... | |

| Is this the best analog has to offer? Pbowne makes some good points. I find piano is a good thing to compare, as few CD playback systems get close to analogue, tending to sound clangy and even metallic and lacking natural warmth and air. Low level detail and microdynamics can be so mu... | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Lazarus h1a hybrid amps in mono mode can easily drive Scintillas without breaking a sweat. | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Anyone ever hear the Reuben Guss speakers at CES some years ago? A friend said they were the worst by quite a margin. About 100 drivers of all sorts of sizes arranged in a rather haphazard manner in a refrigerator size cabinet, and from what he sa... | |

| Have you owned Sound Labs Electrostatics? Larry, I've owned Sound Lab U-1s for about four years. Before that, I had Quad ESLs (57s), Acoustat 2+2s, and Audiostatics. I find the Sound Labs have all the best qualities of the others and a lot of advantages. Sound Labs can play quite loudly, ... | |

| Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X Find an Entec Number Cruncher and get it modded by Bob Crump. Designed by Demian Martin and built by Jerry Crosby, they show up on the used market once in a while. Built like a tank and beats just about everything else out there.Brian | |

| How to wake up a sleeping Genesis Digital Lens? I think Doug Goldberg designed the Digital Lens, as he has been a consultant for Audio Alchemy, Genesis, and PS Audio. Paul McGowan probably knows about this, and if not, he can reach Doug. I think Paul's email address is paul@psaudio.comBrian Walsh | |
| Amp/pre for Soundlab M1s Advice: Digital or no? Brian,I am a Sound Lab dealer and have heard a Spectron amp on them some time ago. It was an OK match, nothing particularly wrong, but I didn't hear any magic. I was the first person to try Parasound JC-1s with Sound Labs (U-1s) and immediately kn... | |
