| SOTA Nova I used to own a SOTA Nova Series V. I had no issues with the vacuum system and the table, if set up properly, is phenomenal. Best to get it off the floor and on a really good rack or better yet a wall shelf. Being a suspension design it will be mo... | |
| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? Check out Alpha Core. You should be able to get the MI-2 Veracity at a very reasonable price. | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter Sherod,Ironically Alan Maher asked me the same question last night. Basically things have settled in and I think the PEs on their own are doing an adequate job of filtering. I really don't miss the Haley although I think the power factor correctio... | |
| Review: Mosaic Chimera Speaker cable I am still auditioning and will probably make a decision in a couple of weeks. I do like what I hear so far, but I need to do more A/Bing against a few other cable combinations. Also, I neglected in my last post to indicate I also use Purist Audio... | |
| Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter I actually have taken Alan's advice and now removed my RSA Haley from the system. I have 5 PEs (with a PE-4 and Studio Reference PC coming) on 3 circuits (3 of them on the A/V circuit alone) and now my gear is plugged into a BPT power strip (non-f... | |
| Review: Mosaic Chimera Speaker cable This review peaked my curiosity and I went ahead and contacted Dale to try out the speaker cables. In the process Dale also sent me 2 pairs of ICs and 2 PCs (one high current and one low current). I'm using all cables except the low current PC in ... | |
| Please help with speaker choices While RMAF presents you with the ability to look at many different speaker products under one roof, the sound in many of the rooms leaves a bit to be desired. If I were auditioning speakers this would be the last place I would do it at. On the oth... | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp You can see my system components here:http://cgi.audioasylum.com/systems/7245.htmlI didn't take the time to add it up properly, but without including the cost of cables the system I have runs about $20k MSRP.My preamp consists of S&B TX-102 Mk... | |
| CAT versus Berning I was only able to audition the Joule amps (with the LAP-150) and Merlin speakers at RMAF last year and chatted with Bobby P. quite a bit in the process. Overall, while I enjoyed the sound, it was a bit too warm for my tastes. My thought in using ... | |
| CAT versus Berning The only advice I can offer is that when I owned my LA-100 MkIII I considered matching it with either the Berning or a Joule amp. This was based on much of the research I did here and other members comments. I have seen where a few people use the ... | |
| Tube preamp noise question I think he's been contemplating it as I have heard similar news. I'm glad he's still around though. One of the good guys in audio and the best in tubes IMO. | |
| Tube preamp noise question If you're looking for very quiet NOS 6SN7 tubes check with either Andy at Vintage Tube Services or Audiogon member Whoopadeedoo. You won't be disappointed. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I have been using the PEs (5 of them) in my home for the past 2 months. I have 3 on my AV circuit and a couple more on other circuits in my home. What Sherod reports is right on the mark. I now have a PE-4 on order as well as one of Alan's power c... | |
| Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner? No problem. I have Sound Anchor speaker stands for my Spendors and I believe they are filled with epoxy or some other material. Great stands. | |
| Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner? I've had good results filling hollow rack legs with a variety of materials: lead shot, fine sand, kitty litter, and even combinations of kitty litter and lead. This is somewhat of an experimental process that you can play around with and fine tune... |
