| Any tweaks I'm missing? 1. Demagnetize CDs, LPs and all cabling and power cords.I use the Talisman to demagnetize every CD and LP prior to play. I don't do my cabling as it is infinitely well shielded and has special anti-magnetic properties (GroverHuffman.com for det... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies confusion Frank, if you hear my system now, you probably wouldn't want to leave either. The new room and new DAC are superb additions. It all adds up to more listening pleasure. Last night I heard the very rare Grieg and Saint Saens 1903 and 1904 piano r... | |
| Any tweaks I'm missing? I have a dedicated (expensive) listening room (just equipment and seating). The room has built-in bass traps and only two walls have sound absorption panels. So, a pair of Hallographs behind/side of the speakers and a pair in the rear corners do... | |
| Any tweaks I'm missing? millercarbon - I have 32 HFTs in my main audio room. The speaker kit is the only difficult placement. No HFT works near my tweeters or mid-ranges on my Legacy Focuses. Just 1/8" difference in height of the HFT warm sound on the sides of the ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies confusion I have found, in my audio system, that there are places E-Mats work and don't work (or negatively work). If I can tell the difference in effect, they must do something. I have a dozen and find them most positively effective placed on power panel... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I use four E-Mats now on my Bryston Bit 20 isolation transformer (took 1 of 3 away from my CD transport). The E-Mat makes a big difference on the Bit 20 versus a smaller difference adding more to the transport. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Hi Frank, I know you tweaked your CD player but my new DAC with an untreated same player through the SPDIF out as a transport only (high end A/C cable but no PPT or internal fuse upgrade) reveals twice as much information. The height, width, depth... | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more Most of my audiophile friends are mostly music lovers first. Sure they enjoy my system and I enjoy theirs but its about the music for us and we have an appreciation for a wide variety of music. I just don't care for Gregorian Chants, Rap and Hip... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I use a dozen E-mats and had 2 on top and 1 under my EAR Acute CD player. The mats improved resolution, depth, "warmth" and dynamics on the power panels, CD player, phono and pre-amp and isolation transformer. They did nothing when I placed two... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I have had an experience which indicates that the E-Mat doesn’t work on 100% of high end audio equipment to its benefit. I recently installed a fabulous DAC, the solid aluminum billeted case enclosed COS Engineering D2. I placed one of my Omega E-... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! My friend and I heard the Clearaudio Statement V2 or another by them which was $120,000 back in 2016 about at a show. We were not impressed. However, I've read reviews that just the center weight makes a huge difference. Maybe, but what we hear... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! I gave specific examples of why I rated my own VPI tables as very good but not great. The latest one discussed here may have solved the vibration problem or not. The VPI arm may or may not be lacking in high end qualities, especially in the bass... | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? @Brianlucey @bkepke and @iopscprl I agree with you three the most of this forum's posters. I've heard MQA at audio shows and cannot remember the equipment. Overall, I wasn't impressed. The rooms had a spacious, wide sound but nothing wanted ... | |
| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase I saw the photos of the Von Schweikert exhibit on-line. That room was humongous. Doesn't look like the other rooms they've shown in or the one I heard. However, I brought my own LPs and CDs to hear the Ultra 11 set-up which I used throughout th... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? I have a half dozen Denon digital recorded LPs. They have good sound. Denon made 2,039 digital LPs/CDs (visit Discogs.com to view) with many original recordings. Denon 1300, 1500 and 1600 CD players were very good for their time. Today, a cheap So... |
