| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow! I had a problem for the last week accessing only the forums I tried to post in. The moderator answered today and said she had no problem in Chrome. I just found out using I.E. that all my posts and updates were available. I don't know why my Ch... | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow! I've used four different CD rings including a green and black Marigo. The Herbie's use results are the same in my system as in Robert and Frank's. Diminished musicality, reduced dynamics and compressed sound. Not good. However, I have an alter... | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room My recommendation for the best audio system sound I ever heard had the Von Schweikert Ultra 11s in a huge room. After that, at half the price are the Ultra 9s good for large rooms as well. They are expensive but would have fit my previous home's... | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow! What's going on? My last two posts are under submission rather than immediately posted. Is it a change in Audiogon policy? | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? Without my air bladder Townsend Sink for my VPI VI, I would have dumped the table. It is essential, unlike my VPI 19-4 whose springs and rubber feet actually did damp vibrations. With the Sink, my table is a great table (& modified SME IV ar... | |

| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow! I have had four damping discs including the Marigo green and black and the Herbie's super black hole. The same results with the Herbie's, dulling the dynamics and highs, robbing the sound of it's musicality as Robert and Frank report. Yuk! Howe... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Hi Frank, I'm glad to hear that the new Orange fuse sounds better than a broken in Blue fuse immediately. The Blue fuse sounded better than a broken in Black fuse immediately. The Black fuse sounded like drek from hours 15 to 72 and I hated kee... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? My direct disc 78s didn't have tape in the way. They can have superb musicality despite their sonic shortcomings. However, CD remasterings can improve the sound with reequalization, speed control (for acoustics) and noise reduction that enhances... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? Funny, I don't keep buying equipment until I die. I've upgraded my cabling and tweaks but that's it for 13 years. I plan to upgrade my speakers in the future and possibly my DAC. Listening to Patricia Barber recordings is not my choice for jud... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? My experiences in digital do not include streaming or downloads. My CD rips are to CDs via the Alesis Masterlink. I still prefer the original DAT recordings from the 90s played back through my all tube/analog audio system. I can’t get the bass and... | |
| Amps I Like I compared multiple pre-amps at a store set up with identical equipment. The SP-10 (unknown which of the 7 versions) was the biggest (wide and deep soundstage), most detailed and large sounding. The SP-8 was about 60-70% of that sound. The top ... | |
| Amps I Like My favorite ARC equipment was the SP10 preamp and the Classic 60 amps (the latter I owned). They are sweet sounding, colored for today's sound but soooo musical sounding. Then came the sterile sounding equipment for about 20 years. I still pref... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? I hope that the Muse Erato II is vastly superior to an earlier CD player Muse built, the Signature 9. I purchased that junk for $2300 back in the 90s. It cut off the beginning and ending of a note, round, bloated sound. Yuk! My old Kyocera 310... |
