| power cord for electrostatic speaker I know a soundlab owner who in the past has made his own low gauge wires and found a benefit.I also found a great benefit to upgraded power cords when I used to own Quads.However, If I owned 'stats, what I would do is spend the money on a Powerpla... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? This is a great thread and I enjoyed the AC-3 Review.I was thinking of getting the Copperhead when it was just released, but ended up just keeping the Phantom I had. Now I'm obviously glad I didn't get an early production run Copperhead, but is so... | |
| Sound proofing floor WHat about that soundproofing vinyl that is meant for walls? You could put that on your floor first before building a new floating floor above it. | |
| Economics of small speaker manufacturers On the China issue, I have heard manufacturers tell me that China's metalurgy has a far way to go before they can compete with the west.Meaning the qualities of the raw metal they are using is not up to some people standards. | |
| Quicksilver Contact Enhancer I think the key is to use the lightest possible dusting of the stuff.When I first used it I put it on like a very light coat of paint.I think this is too much, and what causes much time for break in.Try to make it look like there is just a fine du... | |
| Loricraft Record Cleaning I have been investigating a step up from my 16.5What I have found is that for multi-step cleaning fluids, the VPI or Loricraft/Monks seem to be the only machines that fit the bill.For my VPI I have a second tube holder and tube that slides in and ... | |
| To Raven One owners..... I upgraded from a tweeked out Well Tempered Classic.It was a great table that bettered many others, but the Raven One is just simply stunning. I am using the Phantom arm, and the table sits on a Sistrum SP-1 stand which took the table to the next ... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? I have to reread the review, but could one say that "colored" is more an observation of taste, while resolution, detail and ability to discipher individual instruments, etc. is a more objective yardstick?Also I wonder the scale of the differences.... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker I had a chance to hear Clement's system yesterday.Maybe "hear" isn't the right word. "Experience" is more like it.It does things that I've never heard another system do. On Patricia Barber'sCompanion (one of my reference CD's) I heard elements in ... | |
| The Most Realistic Speaker Technology? I think you have answered your own question. Surely it must be the "Realistic" brand sold locally by Radio Shack. If it wasn't truly realistic, couldn't they be sued for false advertising?Ok seriously. As other have alluded to, I think you have to... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Just to fill in a few points to consider I learned hearing Greg's system.As far as the cost - I think you have to see the speakers in person to realize how enormous they actuallly are - and these were smaller than Clement's.Surely the huge size an... | |
| Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons? Can someone post a picture of the "Pure Direct Connect" binding post.I have been thinking for sometime of a similar type arrangment to rewire a component of mine - just using the binding post to apply pressure rather than conduct the signal. | |
| The everyday use of a tube amp well this is completely different, but similar questions have been asked regarding projector bulb usage. One poster replied that he services projector, and someone came in with a projector that had 7000 hours on the bulb before it blew. This is an... | |
| How do you perform a burn in on a tonearm cable? My Stealth Hyperphono cable is not suggested by the manufacturer to be broken in with a high level signal due to it's design. My cart is .5mv output.WHat I have done in the past to break in phono stages is is that I made a reverse RIAA signal of w... | |
| Did Kharma make their 3.2 FE too short? If the blocks raising the speaker help, you should consider some sort of Sistrum stand. I'm not sure which one or if they would have to be a custom type job. Sistrum stands under my speakers made a huge impact. (mine were 20" models for monitors) ... |
