| AC Conditioners? I use a Monster HTS2000 power conditioner with good results. I live in LA and have a very dirty power supply. It may restrict the dynamics somewhat but it is hard to tell because without it the background noise level is much higher, and there is a... | |
| Classe integrated or Musical Fidelity? If you do not need the additional power you may want to consider the Musical Fidelity A3 amp (85 watts/channel) at $500.00 less. It has better writeups and reviews. I use Musical Fidelity X components and am very pleased with the sound, though the... | |
| Audio refinement vs AA Puccini vs Linn M Tinfoil: What is the rest of your system? Also what have you been using for an amp and what is it that you would like to change soundwise? System synergy is important when selecting components. I have home demoed some well reviewed pieces that did... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? This reminds me of a thread at another site entitled "All solid state amps sound the same". Who advertises in the rag? Also think they should change the name to "Audio Bliss". | |
| Granite instead of an amp stand? Sreno: Try looking in the yellow pages under chef/kitchen or restaurant supplies. It is probably cheaper to buy localy due to the shipping weight. They have them at my local "designer" lumberyard, but they are expensive and only come in a max 22" ... | |
| Your Listening chair Interesting topic, I think anyway as I have had a fascination with chairs long before my fifteen year stint in the interior design industry, even had an outdoor chair "garden" at one time. I listen ten to fifteen degrees off axis for casual listen... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade I located the old MSB link. Considering the additional cost of the 1000 power supply, I will probably go with the Bel Canto which is available used within my budget. I do not see any used/discounted MSB FN's and power supplies and do not feel like... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade I am considering the purchase of a used Bel Canto DAC 1. I used to have a website with pricing on the MSB with upgrades but seem to have lost it in our last computer crash. Can anyone supply me with this site or the price of the fully decked out M... | |
| Help! My tube preamp shocked my speaker! I would (obviously) test all tubes and replace as needed (keep track of the performance specs for each old and new tube that remains in the amp). After doing this I would wait a reasonable amount of time (say three months) and then recheck the tub... | |
| IEC Retaining Kits Thanks for the info Iceraven and get rid of that SUV. | |
| IEC Retaining Kits Spamaway Iceraven, I have the same problem and external supports have a tendancy to negate isolation products. I am a born rigger but if the price is right always prefer to have someone else design and build the rig. | |
| Silverline Sonata? Interesting to see this thread as I was just out auditioning speakers yesterday and happened to listen to a pair of Sonatas. They were originally hooked up to some Denon HT thing and were a little bright. We switched them to an Audio Research 120 ... | |
| How many of us fall asleep while SF: I have not checked out using gear as a tax deduction, but have already been turned down by worker's comp in regard to system upgrades. I ran the purchase a Bel Canto DAC through my WK caseworker at a meeting held at my neurologists office. The... | |
| How many of us fall asleep while I use my late night listening sessions in combination with biofeedback training that I received for chronic pain. If it is a good session I always doze off before the CD is done playing. I usually wake up when the last track ends and then transpor... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions I use and enjoy the Homegrown Super Silver IC's. I have not compared them to a lot of cables, just Kimber PBJ and KCAG, also to HT's Silway and Truthlinks. I own the Truthlinks and the Homegrowns and prefer both to the others mentioned. I have a C... |
