| Room Treaments - Where To Begin... @mike_in_nc Yes, that is the fundamental beginning. I custom built a room which addressed bass (built-in activated carbon filters). After your 3 recommended fixes, Shahki Hallographs (unless you have really fantastic soundstage and imaging sp... | |

| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... The most obvious improvement I've made using demagnetization has been the Walker Talisman. I bought it not knowing how effective it is at the speaker terminals, just waving it back and forth for 5 to 10 seconds. That really opened up my system.... | |
| Help with Cartridge choice I can’t believe no one has mentioned the highly esteemed Dynavector 20XII. You can use the L version like the Hana ML with your Zesto. It is slightly less expensive than the Hana and neck and neck in sound quality, construction, etc. 3 of my frien... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Oops! Forgot, had my friend build a balanced to single ended transformer(s) for my COS Engineering D1 DAC. Much improved sound. | |

| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment 2021-minor improvement to a very good system-using my Walker Talisman on the rear input panel and over all cables in my system. Opened up sound significantly. I've owned it for 15 years and my friend and I tried it and it works best there. For... | |
| Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist? For the price EAR 864 is a versatile pre-amp with very good phono stage, tape capable, ample inputs. Tube rolling is preferred with NOS 12AX7s (1 12AU7) tubes (but only 5 total) easily obtainable. It's my back-up pre-amp I purchased in 2005. Ph... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation @louis - Yes High Fidelity cables are a "killer" of sound. The worst sounding cables I’ve ever heard including a $750,000 system whose owner immediately upon hearing GroverHuffman.com cables, purchased them at 5% of the high end High Fidelity cabl... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? mijostyn Right you are! My custom built listening room has highly damped side walls and ceiling with all 3/4" cherry plywood walls (besides the SR HFTs & internal wall bass traps of activated charcoal chambers, etc.) and is only 19' X 15' X ... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search @jafant - Checked and oops! My Sony is the 707ESD not the 777ESD. The 777 is a later version without the full set of features. Sorry. | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search The last Sony I had, used as a transport was the 777ESD. While full sounding, it also was very dark, lacked ambiance and detail. Great remote too and full featured! Used as a CDP, yuk! Could be the old caps and the power cord (but the Kyocera u... | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search @jafant The Kyocera 310. I've owned/heard over 50+ CDPs from the 80's 90's and 2000's (Denon 1500 was okay). I also owned a Cal Audio Tercet III and Muse Signature 9. The were vastly inferior with the Muse sounding awful replaced by a Marantz 6... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? @rooze I wonder if the Evolution Acoustics MM3s which have a family resemblence to Dunlavy Vs have similar time alignment. Does anyone know? Despite the truly great sound emanating from Dunlavy's, I cannot tolerate single point/seat listenin... |
