| 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... | |
| Help getting back to enjoying music and movies in one system Hey NIck, long time since we crossed paths! Pete | |
| Any Nashville enthusiasts? We have 12 names on our email list to date and pending GTG's starting in March. | |
| Directional wires/cables Some cables are shielded in such a way to be directional as well. One end may be grounded and other is floating for instance. | |
| What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost? It’s not a linear equation. It is a series of simultaneous equations: Great gear Great room dimensions and construction Proper speaker and listener position set-up Proper room tuning Commensurate cabling that extracts the best from the gear ... | |
| NSFW pop ups. C'mon Audiogon, get it together. I use Opera and it blocks everything you ask it to. No spam for me. I will admit Edge can be faster, but I get so much less spam and advertisements. My son set me up with it - as a gamer he only wants the game and no distractions. I like it so far. | |
| Frank is gone. AVA lives on! @wideload Did you also snuggle with his cat? Frank always had a cat hanging around the house. Two of us from work were in Minny one week and we stopped in to visit Frank and company. He was of course playing Salk speakers in the shop. I wish I co... |
