| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? to toddverrone:With a heavy speaker like my Merlins (85 lbs. ea.) they are rock solid stable on carpet. With a much lighter speaker I don't know. However the rubber base of the Gaia prevents the footer from sliding so I use corian boards with la... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Having tried every conceivable spike/footer/platform combination I have at this point satisfied my own ears that speakers should be isolated from the floor. A speaker sounds best when it can "float" so that the cabinet can move in response to the... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables If I might change the subject, Modwright owners take note. Bob Grost made a graphene umbilical for me as an alternative to the "Truth" umbilical that Modwright provides. Used between my Modwright modified Sony 5400es and its separate PS 9.0 powe... | |
| Review: Audio Magic Illusion Umbilical PC for ModWright Power cord Have not heard the Illusion Liquid Air umbilical, but I have compared the new Cerious Technologies Graphene umbilical (custom made for me by Bob Grost) with the Truth umbilical that came with my Modwright Sony 5400 ES SACD player. I find the Graph... | |
| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? My modified Pathos TT RR is the best integrated amp I've heard, and one of the handfull of best amplifiers I've heard. The stock Pathos TT is already a superb amp, however with capacitor and resistor upgrades it gains speed, dynamics, three dimens... | |
| Anyone know anything about the Pathos TT The Pathos TT is extraordinarily good stock, owing largely to the Inpol circuit design and good quality transformers and chokes. However like all but the highest end amps it uses cheap capacitors and resistors, and upgrading both can make it sound... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Yes - the Six Moons piece was an "Industry Feature", not a review.I will keep an open mind with regard to the BAM, and at some point I will try the Master BAM. | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. I think the reason the VSM-mme's sound better to me without the Super BAM may be the single ended, zero negative feedback Inpol circuitry in my modified Pathos TT RR. Both in circuit design and sound the TT mimics an SET amp. I have seen several r... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Don't know if the GR's I listened to were cold forged, but both the Harmonix and Vitus Andromeda interconnects with the top of the line (there are two models) Cerious Nano Reference speaker cables were so much better than the GR's in my system, th... | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Yes, my comments only pertain to my system. Don't know the age of the GR's I listened to, but they belonged to audiophile club members/friends who bought them from dealers so I assume they were authentic. | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. I recently acquired Merlin VSM-mme's, which are driven by a modified Pathos TT RR, with a Modwright-Sony 5400ES front end, and Bybee Power Purifier 'Stealth' AC power conditioner. I tried many different cables with this setup including Cardas Gold... | |
| Audio Magic Clairvoyant Liquid Air AC cable I had the full Cerious loom a couple of years ago, when Six Moons first reviewed them. They were very musical but a little slow, and they rounded off transients and softened dynamics a little. They were also stiff and difficult to route. I can onl... | |
| Audio Magic Clairvoyant Liquid Air AC cable I have a Clairvoyant Liquid Air AC cord running from my Bybee Power Purifier 'Stealth' power conditioner to my Modwright-Sony 5400ES SACD player (modified Sony transport - not the seprerate power supply). It has proven to be the best AC cord I hav... | |
| Audio Magic Clairvoyant Liquid Air AC cable I am using the Audio Magic Clairvoyant Liquid Air AC cord from my Bybee Power Purifier "Stealth" AC conditioner to the transport (the Sony box) of my Modwright modified Sony 5400ES (I have a Lessloss Signature on the seperate power supply). Haven'... | |
| Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference. I have tested the Pavane/Psvane 12AX7's against NOS Mullards, Telefunkens, Amperex, and Mazda 12AX7's in my Pathos Acoustics TT RR integrated. The Shuguang tubes were the best all around, although the Mazdas were close. |
