| Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long I have used a top RO unit (three canister pre-filtration system feeding a dual- stage RO unit and then a separate dual-canister DI stage) in my reef-keeping hobby for years now and can tell you that water exiting the RO system without the DI stage... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thank you Al for the kind words. Much appreciated.Dave | |
| Tekton Double Impacts And here they come. Please don't bring this vitriol to this thread. Please...Dave | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom, Charles, and Scott (sbayne),Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I simply wrote what I heard and tried to keep it real. Scott, I can tell you that I was more than a little hesitant to invest so much in a USB cable, but it brought such a ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I recently spent a couple days critically listening to david_ten’s system with his new Double Impact SEs and thought that some here might find my observations/opinions of the sound I heard of interest. My suspicion is that many of you happily own ... | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable Has anyone tried adding a splitter cable to the RCA end of the Ultimate grounding cable in order to ground multiple components?Dave | |
| Review: Straight Wire Crescendo Interconnect Four months of listening - what did you buy? | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? REL is a sub-bass system vs a subwoofer per se. They are not designed to be used with speakers with significant bass deficiencies (ie small monitors) or with crossovers that divide frequencies between the main speakers and a subwoofer. RELs actual... | |
| HPM 150’s Still Relevant? Speakers, new and old alike, are solely a matter of personal preference and a dealer that recommends replacing a customer's cherished speakers just because they are "old" should be treated with some suspicion - maybe seeking that customer's wallet... | |
| Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations My bet is that you will be onto another cartridge soon, so, of the two, get the Denon because it obviously has a following and can be resold more easily. FWIW, starting your vinyl journey with an ultra-low output cartridge is inviting problems IMO... | |
| Integrated CD transport/DAC with streaming capability Get real. Almost any current DAC over $1500 will handily expose the sonic limitations of a stock Oppo. Upgrades are a good choice if you need the Oppo's HT features.Dave | |
| Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations Go for the VdH Grasshopper. VdH's carts always sound awesome. In another league. The exposed body is delicate so be very careful when mounting and adjusting it and keep anything magnetic, especially screwdrivers, far, far away.Dave | |
| Duelund DCA16GA I tried the Dark Energy ICs and, in my system, I preferred the 20ga Duelund ICs from Parts Connexion. The latter uses Duelund Rhodium RCA connectors, is the more lively sounding of the two, and was the better match for the Dark Energy speaker cabl... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Yes cmonster. That is the list price for a pair of 2M speaker cables. Suggest that you try them on the free home trial to make sure their sound is to your liking.My new 3M pair has a nicer jacket and sounds better than the demo 3M pair did. Best,Dave | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Hi cmonster,Mike at Tweek Geek sells an improved, multi-run, terminated version of the Duelund 16ga speaker wire called the "Dark Energy" speaker cable that I prefer sonically to the standard "single run" 16ga Duelund wire. Mike’s version uses thr... |
