| Shunyata Ethernet Cable User Experience- Delta vs Theta I have been using the Shunyata Sigma USB or about 5 years now. I have not found any cable that bettered it. I am curious about the Snake River Boomslang USB. As far as ethernet, I should probably look to more research, but grabbed an Avanti here a... | |
| Sound proofing floor Are they "hearing" the bass or midrange/treble as well? It doesn't make sense that all frequencies are passing through unless the whole floor is hitting a resonance with your music. It's pretty hard to stop the long bass wavelengths. Isolating you... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing I picked up a used set of Mamushi Signature IC's and tried them out for an hour tonight. They are very impressive. With more time I might see them edging out my Synergistic Euphoria X xlr's. More to come. | |
| Sound proofing floor Mass loaded vinyl is the shiznit. I have used it to soundproof a ceiling from the living room above and I have used it to soundproof the family room below my room. Just lay it down and put your vinyl flooring right over it. Not cheap, but very eff... | |
| Furutech 's Project V1 Power Cord.....question. Sounds like a wonderful cable, but as was pointed out in one review, the Synergistic power cables cost 4 times less and provide fantastic results. I use SR PC's throughout my system now and am mighty impressed. But you got me interested so I poke... | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? I have treated ceilings many times, even the floor in front of speakers when in dedicated spaces. I kinda had to do the ceiling in this room with the speakers so near a first reflection point: https://www.audiogon.com/systems/10635#&gid=1&am... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? I use a variable speed cabinet fan at the lowest speed to pull heat out of my ARC preamp. Can't hear it and it certainly does not hurt. Of course, no data to say the tube life is being extended. But, I only use the system an hour here and there d... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @gavin1977 Not even close. I use Purons and Main Streams with the PSM. There isn't enough real estate in the Puron style devices to do what the PSM can do. My PSM has been a mainstay of a quiet system for almost 5 years. Add the Verifi's in paral... | |
| I feel for you Good thread. I kinda knew Carl’s skillset from years here and other sites. Well respected by me having worked in science and technology myself for 4 decades. @awise1961 We may have dabbled in some of the same aircraft. My dad was a tinsmith by ... | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. I've had Museaus, Venustas, and Corvus XLR's and an older pair of Venustas triwire speaker cables. They were all very good cables. I would say neutral category. I still have a 4 meter Venustas XLR Diamond rev set for sale. Switched to many other b... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing I'd like to know how much better are the Takshakas than the previous versions? Day and night or 20% more? If 20% more then picking up some used, older versions might make sense to try. The newest cables is quite a bit higher in price. | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" @grannyring Looking forward to you hearing my room soon. I have not posted a sweep of the totally untreated room, just the partially treated room (first reflections at sides and on the ceiling slopes)[orange line]. Regardless, having a room almo... | |
| An IEC with grip IEC320 Male Over-Mold Contact Retention Inserts - Secure Sleeve Tab For Plugs It can be frustrating when this happens. I'd consider removing the Puritan connector and transferring it to your target cable as an option. | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps I have not owned a single ended tubed preamp that did not produce unwanted noise over the cabling. I made the switch to an ARC preamp and was able to put balanced cables in all the way through from DAC to amp. Best move I ever made to significantl... | |
