| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? Excellent post Redkiwi. Non-resonant material is critical, I think. Maybe more important than absorbing vibrations.Resonance is the natural frequency of a material. I'm thinking when music hits this frequency it will sound very unnatural. Or worse... | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? Ulf, Neaunce is some type of composite shelf that absorbs vibration from floor and the component. If you dfo a search there was a long thread a month or two ago. | |
| Isolation transformers - where do I start? Thanks Buckingham, I will look into the Hubbel. I couldn't find Virtual Dynamics Company or Hubbel searching here at Audiogon. Do you have a link? | |
| Isolation transformers - where do I start? Thanks for the replies. The Equipower is impressive but their T1000 is $989 and the 1.5Q (15 amp) is $2,189. I would like to start cheaper as $1,000+ is beyond my budget.Hopefully the basic ISO transformer gets pretty close. I will have to check o... | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? I just put in the Lack shelf I got at Ikea. Two 4" dia. brass discs are under the CDP and one brass disc on top. The Lack shelf is supported but 6 tiny brass spikes which have "o-ring" under them. The 6 tiny spikes then fit into the shelf holes of... | |
| Why would my CD player start skipping? Try playing some Brahms. Nothing can skip to music like that! | |
| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing I'm going to try an isolation transformer to my CDP. Probably a more effective tweak than all this "up" and "over" hype.Jon Risch has some interesting designs at his geocities site. No toroidial transformers, use EI (?) transformers instead.. | |
| ATC 100A Actives And Tube Preamps - Ideas ? Are you sure it's not the CDP? I found Meridian harsher than Cary or Rega. ATC's sounded very good with all Naim, not harsh. | |
| Innersound Isis Innersound I think, is better than M-L but did not have the dynamics for rock for me. At least in a bigger room. | |
| Best speaker new or used 2,000 for ROCK? Paradigm 100's or PSB Stratus Gold's. | |
| Adcom or Creek? I agree with Philjet - Adcom is grainy. Dealer switched from Adcom to Classe CAP 101 on B&W Nautilus 804 and big improvement in clarity and sound quality.If you use Epos or other speaker with very easy load the 4330 should be okay. Otherwise c... | |
| Cable length I would guess in Simon9's case there would not be much difference as the two situations are not much different. Sean makes good points:Along the same lines, if the signal is distorted due the materials used to construct the cables themselves OR th... | |
| B&W 804's Vs. Vienna Acoustic Beethoven My post was not to be taken seriously. "Nuff said. | |
| Surge protection for Bryston amp Why not an isolation transformer? You can get 2kVa which is nearly 20 amp capacity for under $300. | |
| help with harshness / brightness - cary 303-100 The speakers, not the CDP are the problem. Cary is not bright and is forgiving of brightness errors. IMHO. |
