| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase I have made some purchasing mistakes in my time. I remember an "audiophile" CD player which I bought for 40% off, the Muse Signature 9, somewhere around $2000 back in the 90s. It was awful, cut off beginning and ending transients. I guess I bou... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? I have 25,000 LPs, 7,000 78s and 7,000 CDs. Sure, I love playing analog. As of yesterday, I now have more than an analog-like sounding CD front end (EAR Acute). I purchased a COS Engineering DAC (D2). I have entered to realm of great digital p... | |
| REST IN PEACE - TIM MROCK My condolences to Krissy and Tim's family. He was such a nice man when we spoke. His ingenuity was above 95% of all audio engineers. His products live on in my system as in many others. Hopefully, more audiophiles/music lovers will get to know... | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room gammajo That's even larger than my former listening room. Do you think that the 55Ks would be okay in a much smaller room, 15' X 20' X 10' high? The room is extremely well insulated (16" compound walls/12" 3000 psi reinforced concrete floors-$1... | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow! I took felt rings off of my Legacy Focus dome tweeters because they restricted the off-axis high frequency sound. Sort of like a clamshell on a clam. So much more open without the felt rings. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies - "Stop It" AC Duplex passive line conditioners I am very pleased with my current listening room floor isolation. It consists of a 12” thick, ½” rebar reinforced, 3000 psi poured concrete slab. My previous listening room had a 5.5” thick, similar floor. Both are covered with 90lb. weight p... | |

| 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... |
