| Who's Gone Topless? The top was metallic and kept the interior hot. Replacing it with a non-ferrous plexiglass with ample ventilation was a superior choice, sounds the same as topless. | |
| Who's Gone Topless? The sides and bottom are one piece, luckily. I am using Stillpoints UltraSS for isolation and vibration control. They work. I tried nearly a dozen other products but they either were too dark and slow or too bright and thin. Stillpoints UltraS... | |

| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? I agree that R2R is a great format. My 1980s recordings are really low noise and have the breath of real life. I have dozens of 1950s pre-recorded 2 and 4 track 7.5 ips tapes that are super dynamic and open sounding. I also have about 100 1960s... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? I replaced the solid but thin metal top cover of my preamp and phono pre as I assume the vibration and metal obfuscated the sound. I replaced them with a plexiglass cover, secured the same way and with air holes for temperature relief. I did not... | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? I am 64. My hearing is nearly flat to 15khz. As a child/teen, my hearing went out to 20-30Khz, probably due to my asthma (bronchial conditions in children often result in hearing high frequencies). Unfortunately, I also was bothered by buzzing... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I placed my E-Mats on the back of the speakers covering the rather large crossover electronics. Not in back of the drivers. | |
| When Did Your System Disappear? My system is high end but the speakers are always present. The sound based on the OP has the sound disappear but I have found that there is an identifiable speaker location for many recordings. Sure, mono recordings can fill the room from wall t... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Again geofkaitt you don't read. Tim told Frank specifically, not to use his PPT products near or on magnets. They don't work. I never said that the E-Mats or any PPT products contain magnets or work on magnetic principles. Where PPT products w... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies PPT products XXXX Magnets - Not a match + simple to comprehendI forgot that the E-Mats also went on the rear of my speakers over the crossovers. That had a positive sonic effect without a negative effect. No magnets there either (sufficiently ... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Also, my refrigerator is set 10% higher temperature setting since installing the E-Mat on the main and subpanel breaker boxes since early 2019. Maybe it does make the power more efficient. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies My experience is also mixed but a happy result afterwards. Frank figured out why the E-Mats, TC, stopits and mini-gate do not always work. I have a system with a special magnet/proprietary metal in junction boxes and cabling. Everywhere the PPT... | |
| How far away from your speakers are you? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it said no audiophile“ never. I am not lazy, but I placed my speakers where they function best without worrying if it is the absolute best spot. I correct soundstage/imaging problems with the speakers by using a ... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts I am a beta tester for a cable manufacturer. When he invented the Pharoah line, he provided me with Pharoah IC cables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. I had no preconceived notions as to which was best or worst or the same sounding. I chose two as best, one a... | |
| 10 Audio Cable Myths and Facts Back in the early 80's, I went from zip cord to Audioquest speaker wire. There was NO contest. Since then, I've changed speaker wire about half a dozen times. I installed the Audioquest back into my system about 15 years ago to see how well it ... |
