| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I decided to try the TC on my old EAR 324 phono pre-amp because I knew that I would gain more bass and more colorful, detailed mids using TC as it did everywhere else. The problem I had with the EAR 324 was an impedance mismatch (too high or too l... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic No, the changes were made incrementally. The full TC treatment was also added to my living room CD only audio system which only had the SR Blue Fuse and SR Black duplex, otherwise, no room treatment at all (great room acoustics). My wife liked t... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic My wife would not listen to her music (rock) when we first met when I had Martin Logan Monolith IIIs and Quests. No bass, no dynamics, poor listening area. I was driving them with Audio Research Classic 60s and an AR SP14. Maybe it wasn't suffi... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic P.P.S. It was really difficult to use only two sets of HFTs to sound correct. Often, the bass would be too lean or treble to bright depending on my placement. Following the preferred setup did not work until I installed the speaker kits, then ch... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic P.S. The first two sets of HFTs were insufficient for me to remove rear panel diffusers and absorbing panels. After I installed two speaker kit HFTs I removed all room treatments except for Hallographs. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic ronrags I tried the HFTs only without my Hallographs and did not like the result either. While the sound was enhanced, detailed and open, it sounded antiseptic, sterile. Obviously my room has a lot to do with that. When I put back the rear Ha... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I jumped the gun on the 8 week improvement when I purchased the SR Atmosphere XL4 to go with my 2 HFT sets and 2 Speaker HFT sets. It was like TC on steroids. However, my wife noticed congestion/hashy sound on choral parts on LPs recorded in the 5... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic David,. the first item Frank applied TC to were my SR blue fuses. What did you find objectionable? I haven't removed the fuses in six weeks, waiting for the 8 week surprise. Thanks, Stephen | |
| Mapleshade Isolation: Does Nothing? Hi lak-here are my answers. 1. & 2. My floor is concrete with plush carpeting. 3. The Mapleshade platforms are laying flat on the carpet (I previously had 1" thick granite tiles-worse than directly on carpeting). 4. The Signature IIIs are sp... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Just want to add that Frank's CD player modified sounds 98% like my EAR Acute CD player ($6000). It is difficult to tell one from the other in a high end system. Slightly tighter bass in Pioneer, slightly warmer mids in the Acute It proves t... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Raymonda from months ago. I own a Benz Ruby 3 since 2006 ($3000). It is mounted on a what once sold for $1100 arm, the SME IV (modified). It last sold for about $4,000 a few years ago. So, I had a 30 year old arm with a 12 year old cartridge o... | |
| CD players = dead? I have 25,000 LPs and 7,000 CDs, 7,000 78s. I was not a CD adherent until I purchased an EAR Acute CD player (upgraded the horrid stock A/C cable and upgraded to NOS tubes). Then, my well remastered CDs (I toss badly remastered ones) sound as go... | |
| Mapleshade Isolation: Does Nothing? I just installed a pair of Mapleshade 2" platforms under my B system speakers, Legacy Signature IIIs. The difference from no platform is immense. The bass tightened slightly but the mids and highs opened up tremendously with increased resolution... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I am not a surrogate and I did purchase TC from Mr. Mrock. I have stated that I use TC, found it to be worthy to remain in my audio systems forever (pending use in my video systems). The benefit does grow with SR fuses/duplexes/HFTs in my syste... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Synergistic Research HFTs... This is slightly off topic; however, after TC and the fuses, I decided to try HFTs despite already having 2 pairs of Hallographs in my big system. I built the room with a bad slap echo problem. Frank told me to try the... |
