| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I am now a fuse adopter with both a digital and analog front end--both very high quality sound. Was ignorant of the difference fuses made in the system, but was already a believer without trying based on the many positive responses from experienc... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) gochurchgo,I have a pair of Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps that now have the awesome TDSS Level 3 upgrades in it. Paid $1400 for the pair originally used and the Level 3 is out of your budget. But Bob Smith at TDSS does offer a Level 1 upgrade for ... | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics I'll second grannyring's system. I've heard it with the Lyngdorf and it sounds truly beautiful. Another speaker to look into that sounds great in any room is the Sanders 10e ESL system. Yes, they sell a system with the speakers and it sounds a... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I use 5 Blue fuses from SR. Never had bought high end fuses prior. I have 2 in the Modwright 5400, 1 in the Whest 3.0 RDT SE, and 1 each in the Nuforce Ref 9 V3SE monos. They do sound better in one direction when tried, and they do make a very ... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! I just got a Pete Riggle Woody tonearm from an Audiogon member. After many tries to get sound as good as the Maplenoll Ariadne air bearing straight line tracking TT/arm combo I had for about 10 years, I’m now combined the Woody with my heavily mod... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I've had a tube preamp from 1990 on along with a SS amp. I've been very satisfied with the sound, BUT...I now have a TRL DUDE preamp with several upgrades to it and Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps with the TDSS Level 3 upgrades including the power ... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Latest sound of the TDSS Level 3 upgrades of the Nuforce Ref 9 monos is now phenomenal. I took the amps to a friend’s house so he could hear what they sounded like with the pair of Tekton Double Impacts with Bill Dion’s fantastic parts upgrades in... | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp I’m had several clamps and weights that I’ve tried with various TT’s. I’ve yet to hear one that made a sound difference for the better except on a very few albums. Most made the sound a little less involving. A heavy 2 lb. centerweight helped wit... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations I'd look to late April or May for active news on Aether Audio.Bob | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations spenceroo,I have been to Bob Smith's house a couple times in the past few months. Each time I heard one of his former speakers in a just average system and I was very impressed. Bob and I have become good friends since he did the Level 3 mod of ... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations seadweller,Where are you located? If it's anywhere close to the north central portion of Indiana, you could hear the speakers I was talking about.I've heard all the speakers you mentioned, and owned a pair of Von Schweikert Vortex Screens for 18+... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations Not to be ignorant, roberjerman, but what does doing that prove about the speakers dynamic sound? | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations The DCM Time Windows were very good speakers in their day. I loved them. However there's no way that they are live, as in possessing jump factor dynamics like a horn.There ill be a speaker returning to the scene that does have the jump factor, i... | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? Thanks for the tips, Doug.I'm a compulsive list maker--seriously. And I also like to draw to scale pictures of my system, just because. Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound says the number one thing that most folks do is put their equipment between... | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? Thanks, Doug, for that discussion. I think I will build a wide version of a strong stand--maybe 2 ft. wide at the top and wider at the bottom just to try this orientation out. I'd make the bottom 2 ply thick of MDF and also make it deeper in the... |
