| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Ps: Though on the bright side basic isolation devices such as the pods have always shown an improvement to my CD players performance over the stock feet just resting on a shelf. Any improvement or fine tuning beyond that though seem to be of a hig... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Dan, I have no experience with Sinks as I am too frugal. I also feel that the use of isolation devices (like many things in this hobby) will vary greatly with each individual's application as there are many variables involved. For example we all h... | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement Actually Retroguy, my comments do pertain to the thread as to compare what is acceptable behavior in an industry other than Hifi. I could also make comparisons to both the interior design and high end food and wine industries in which I have over ... | |
| Are Homegrown Interconnects shielded?? Outlier: If the Lace is anything like the Super it will require a minimum of 125 hours run in - in a setup such as yours. There was a change for the better with my Silver at around 50, but 125 sounded much better as did 200+. I ran mine in almost ... | |
| Speaker Cable Length I had looked into increasing the length of my IC's (in order to decrease my speaker cable runs) and was told that it would not be a good idea by two different manufacturers. The difference though between mine and Sam's setup is that I would have b... | |
| Speaker Cable Length Here's to more money down the drain in search of the magical length. I'm game. Too bad that I just sold 36' of extra Kimber Kable, I could have had a field day. | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement Cornfed: But do you pretend you like/respect them in front of other people including your clients? I assume that both of my attorneys do in my presence, either that or I have retained a couple of true cyphers. My other legal friends however tell i... | |
| Speaker Cable Length There is one cable manufacturer (Mapleshade) that does not recommnd using their cable in less than 8' lengths as it will degrade the sound. Also using it in it's standard form in lengths exceeding 12' will have the same affect. I have not tried th... | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement If the comments were made under the circumstances described I would consider them to be cheap shot cut lows. In most industries that I know of this is not acceptable behavior. Even attorneys stick together and do not resort to such tactics, right ... | |
| DVD upgrade Angela: I went through the same thought process when upgrading my digital front end and just decided that most of my source material is in standard format and that this format will still hold the biggest market share for many years to come. Other ... | |
| Get rid of excessive low bass I kind of like the power cord/cable suggestion as they may be part of the problem, as well as the room. Many constantly upgrade cables to get the mids and highs (as well as the bass) just right. Why not try this approach in particular for low end ... | |
| DVD upgrade Swampwalker: I have never used or owned a DVD player but am curious as to what you are using for you CD digital front end. The reason is that some very favorable posts are starting to come out on the new Sony 9000 DVD/CD player that sells new for ... | |
| Stealth Hac 3,000 W power cord How long did you let the cord run in? Some cable takes hundreds of hours to do so. | |
| Difference Between 2A3s and 300Bs Doug: Those are really extreme considering that they are made from glue/lam wood. I couldn't handle that much wood in one place (I prefer just a few pieces to warm up a room if it needs it), but I like the "Big R" concept, (kind of reminds me of t... | |
| Difference Between 2A3s and 300Bs Trelja: Yes we do have some like tastes. I for one am a sucker for El34 based amps (even those that are not that great overall). Sound like anyone you know? |
