| My most remarkable service experience ever. I've had a similar albeit much smaller experience with PS Audio and was very pleased indeed with their Cust Svc. Other companies could take a page out of their playbook... | |
| looking for ideas on a tube pre amp I've run a Rogue Audio M99 Super Magnum tube preamp with Focal floor standers and it calmed them down quite a bit. Still Focal revealing and transparent sound but warmer... | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? All great comments and relate to them all. It's more of a journey than a destination, a lot worse things you can spend your money on.... ;o) | |
| Visit to Magnolia Proves Interesting I broke down and went to Magnolia couple weeks ago to take a look. The high end gear and speakers demo room was what was expected, good stuff. The Staff were children who didn't have a clue about anything, even the gear they sold. Sad and unfor... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but In my last all SS system I ran a heavily modded passive McCormack TLC-1 preamp (always on Agon for a grand or less) along with a stock McCormack DNA-500 and it was dead quiet, incredible sound. I like my tubes but that McCormack SS setup sounded ... | |

| Bass traps - too many choices!! I've tried all kinds of acoustic treatments over the years, even some DIY stuff. The best I've found by far for bass/corners are ASC tube traps. I've bought them used on Agon and eBay for 50% or more off retail. ASC themselves have show demo un... | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? Ive used a lot of different products in this category over the years, Tara Labs Power Screens were the best but they're NLA and hard to find used. I currently run a PS Audio P10 and it works great. Solves several power issues I have in my state ... | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? The last couple of dedicated listening rooms I've put together I've focused a lot more on acoustic treatments. Different kinds of inexpensive treatments such as thick drapes, diffusers, Auralex foam wedges, Acoustimac panels, ASC tube traps etc..... | |
| LSA-1 ?? I had a set of these with the Center and Surrounds for a small HT some years ago and they were ok. They sound fine for their price point IMHO. I was especially impressed with their build quality for that price.Underwood Wally sells these online ... |
