| TT mats I've got to agree with noromance. I've used many different mats and they all were different, but not overall better to what was already used. Certain pieces of music seemed to like one while others sounded somewhat better with another. NO mat w... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Got to give an update on the TDSS level 3 upgrade to my Nuforce Ref 9 SE V3 monos. The amp module on my left amp went dead so Bob S. at TDSS replaced it while adding a different damping material between the module and the chassis on both amps. All... | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? Thanks you for the detailed reply to my inquiry. Did I get this right, you said I should experiment with the angle of the front by slightly raising the back side of the speaker so it would be angled down slightly? I figure I can build a strong e... | |
| VMPS speakers--Who has had great success in bringing their VMPS speakers to new heights? Hey Doug,I just read your review on the landscape orientation of the Ulysses by Daedalus Speakers. I am very interested in your thoughts after 5+ years. Do you still think it was a good thing putting the speakers on their sides at about ear leve... | |
| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) I love the Eva Cassidy album Live at Blues Alley and she can definitely sing in a variety of ways. Dianne Reeves is a great jazz singer, and Dianne Schurr is another great singer. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Thanks lak,I have a friend who owns a CPT-1200 and is going to bring it over to listen soon. He's been telling me the same thing for awhile. If that makes as big a difference as the CPT-150 did on the DUDE, I may be convinced.I haven't had much ... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I recently added a CPT-150 to power the TRL DUDE preamp. It made a tremendous difference in sound over the TRL cord I used previously and the WyWires Juice II cord before that. The TRL cord adds some organic sound and a little more grunt to the ... | |
| Morrow IC's I’ve had the MA-3 & 4 ICs, and the SP-3, 4 and 5 biwired for speaker cables. There is little to no difference in sound between any of the models. This is in a VERY high resolution system with VMPS RM40 ribbon speakers. I’m guessing that the MA... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I had Speltz Anticables ($70) for many years and always returned to them after using Crimson, Morrow MA-4 & 5, DNM, even Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ at $1400. The Speltz was always more live sounding and transparent until MG Audio Planus III (... | |
| Filling speaker stands: sand, lead, steel, rice. Full, half, etc? I second bdp's comments about the silica sand and it being dry and sounds better in stands than regular moist sand. The ultimate for good sound in steel posts, however, is Star Sound's very small metal bearings. They are about the size of the in... | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? Had several changes this year. The biggest just happened as Bob Smith at TDSS put the Level 3 mods into my Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps about a month ago. The sound continues to improve as the power supply and wires break in more. It is more reso... | |
| Simple copper speaker terminal jumpers? Lost my originals. mtrot,I have a set of Amadi Maddie Signature silver wired jumpers that are 14" long and have good quality bananas on all ends. These have very good detail, dynamics and clean, deep bass with NO etch to the highs. I could sell you the pair I have... | |
| Cable advice needed If you want a more organic sound without losing detail, the Teo Game Changer ICs are very good--should be very nice with the Tyler speakers. | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? I agree rx8man! | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? Scott, Bob's shop is in his home in NW Indiana just off 80 a few miles south. He has a pair of his SP Tech monitor speakers there that could be set up. He used my amps but he probably has some amps to listen to--I'm not sure of that, however.Goo... |
