| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? A couple years ago, when I made the transition from lurking to participating, I had no idea how rewarding it would be. It's been great fun to share my experiences and hear about other people's experiences. I've learned a great deal from other part... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Thank you, Pipedream, for you post. I am in agreement with you that sound quality and listener enjoyment are far more important considerations than principles of design or details of implementation. My interest in design and implementation is a re... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Geoff -- Yes, I would say that my friend's system is at least as resolving as mine is currently, and possibly more so. If I cannot discriminate the presence/absence of the grounding pigtails in his system, I will conclude that Al may have been rig... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Thanks Dave and Nonoise for your comments. I appreciate your open mindedness.Al - You are the Voice of Reason, and your comments reflect that. There are most certainly confounding variables, and you identified some of the big ones. It is completel... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? I had another experience with Magic yesterday. In fact, it was the most Magical audio experience I've ever had. I'm somewhat reluctant to mention it, because I don't want to sabotage my own credibility. But in light of the topic of this thread, I ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-30-12: Mrtennisafter reading 175 posts , i have concluded that since perception is unreliable and it is the means of interacting with our stereo system, all objective considerations, and arguments are academic...MrT - I don't know why you had t... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? 04-01-12: PipedreamNot for anything but why does this matter ? Whatever it is doing or not doing is moot to me...Just do not see the need to now how it does what it does. Really guys without a home demo all is moot. How can we put down something n... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? 03-30-12: PsagMy question is directed to those who claim to have some idea what the QOL is doing: Is it something that could be done during the recording and mastering process? If so, then it would seem to qualify as a distortion device; i.e., som... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-28-12: GeoffkaitOnly when the stuff was taken entirely outside the house did the sound get back to normal. That's some bad juju.You are the second person on this thread to report that kind of bad juju. Hmm. My unused ERS is sitting on a shelf i... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Returning to the original topic of this thread After extensive experimentation with ERS cloth, Ive come to the conclusion that, in my system, it is harmful more than helpful. Some folks predicted I would say that. You were right.In virtually all ... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please 03-25-12: AlmargBryon, an additional point occurs to me regarding the ERS cloth... its presence could affect the amount of stray capacitance between arbitrary circuit points.That's an interesting hypothesis, Al. The mystery of ERS deepens. :-)03-2... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Thanks, Al, for your explanation of the signal ground binding post on the amp.Your hypothesis about the ERS is interesting. I plan on removing it from the G68 temporarily to see if things get better or worse, now that I've made so many other chang... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Update. Three things...1. After further experiments with additional ERS cloth, placing it in every location I could think of, I have come to the conclusion that, in my system, to my ears, it is harmful more than helpful about 90% of the time. Some... | |
| World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets I recently installed a Maestro outlet and there was a perceptible improvement in sound quality. I have no idea why it would make any difference, especially in light of the fact that the outlet it replaced was also a "special" outlet -- a Synergist... | |
| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? I've generally had good luck with the reliability of high end products, with one exception: Meridian. I've owned a Meridian G68 for about 4 years and it has given me all kinds of trouble... overheating, a dead power supply, a front panel display t... |
