| Speaker recommendation rv,To be honest, it's not my preferred genre. I listen to all kinds of music, at different levels. I'm not one that likes a speaker for only a couple types of music. I do have some classical albums--maybe 12-15 total. I would be amazed if clas... | |
| Speaker recommendation rv,I have your amps and then had them modded by Bob Smith at TDSS with his level 3 upgrades. The basic sound of the Ref 9's stayed the same which I already loved. His mods just made them much better in all ways--call it at least a 30% improvemen... | |

| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? When you have 3 people sitting there listening to a system they have heard a number of times each in the past few years. All listen to the same 4-5 cuts using one set of cables, and then all listen to the same 4-5 cuts using the other set of cab... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Very cool, Calvinj. I finally found the components I truly love the sound of. The last thing I did was move the sound a little more organic with the choice of cables. The Schroeder method of shotgunning the same cables so you have 2 sets of cab... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Listen to the howling mob of blockheads in the street, a trick or two with listening tests, and the whole crowd's on its feet. I'm with Doug Schroeder on this one--if it is not a significant change for the better, than it is most likely a waste ... | |
| New TEO Audio ICs, who has them? Hey Tom,You follow the arrow direction and attach 2 left cables to each connector; therefore 2 to right cables to each connector. Then put the connectors in the component just as you would have with just one cable per side. If you are using the ... | |
| New TEO Audio ICs, who has them? Ah. But you can't beat the final thrust and propelled object flying furiously in some direction only to land on someone's nose after applying the Heimlich to some red-faced minion.I am the friend tuffy mentioned in his post. We put the second GC... | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 @noromance I wasn’t aware of that, but it is possible. I remember a couple years ago, the TFT maker contacting me and saying something like he was thinking of stopping making them. I didn’t know he actually did this, however. The arms are very goo... | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 I have 2 that might be better--Origin Live Silver III or II even, and the Trans-Fi Terminator. The TFT with all the upgrades is $1275 new so you could get a basic for about $975. The OLS holds its value very well in the used market. So does the TF... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system I used several different good for the money cables including Morrow MA-3 and MA-4, Crimson, DNM, Audioquest Ruby, Magnan Type-2, Mogami, Randall TX Symmetrical, and Speltz. All of them sounded a TAD different. None floated my boat. Then I read abo... | |

| Racks - what’s awesome without impacting my kids college plans? What salectric says is probably true for most steel racks. Just not the Sistrum from Star Sound. Just had to add that. I custom built a 2" thick wood shelf unit with threaded steel rods like Mapleshade sells, and the jump in performance getting... | |
| Racks - what’s awesome without impacting my kids college plans? dishman442,If you can find a used Star Sound Sistrum SP-101 rack, let alone with 5 platforms on the used market, you could have a sensational sound improvement to each component placed on it. I happened to luck out and have all my equipment on 2 S... |
