| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Right, my GroverHuffman cables do not use cryo treatments, hyper pure metal, various ways to align the conductors but insulation is one of the reasons his cables sound much better. His claim is mostly in the design of the cables, then the materia... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I vote for Legacy Focus (originals or 20/20) for the best bang for the buck with the "warm" sound of analog music using Kevlar mid-ranges. Cheaper, more efficient and easier to drive (current hungry though) than so many new speakers. Deep bass, ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? You tell me Audiotroy and Inna. I agree with prof that Blue Jean cables are musically adequate (not for me). They outperform many HEA cables costing $5K, $10, $15/m However, that's because of the defects in those cables; in particular, I dislik... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I have one E Mat under and two spread over the top of my Bryston BIT-20 isolation transformer. Apparently, they are incorrectly placed with the magnetic sides facing the unit but it appears to work great. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I think about 3 weeks. I've had them for nearly 4 weeks now and the biggest change now was the promised GroverHuffman Pharoah ICs. That took my system to High End land this weekend after breaking them in. Combining the two, I don't feel the nee... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I don't think so. The E-Mats don't require live power to become effective or diminish their properties without it. I still found improvement after 3 weeks, just sitting in place. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Thanks Krissy. I've been stacking them back to back, magnet side towards the equipment, so I guess that's wrong. Also, on my large isolation transformer, I have one magnet side facing up and two on top magnet side facing down, spread rather than... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Hi, could you ask Tim if he thinks that doubling the thickness and doubling the treatment would be equivalent to doubling the E-Mats effect? If it doesn't, then there's no need for a thicker E-Mat as some have suggested is possible. | |
| Is there actually a difference? Back in the 1970s, so many receivers from major companies sounded the same-distorted. They were designed around measurements, how low can the THD and IM go, not around musical sounds. I dreaded hearing my teen age friends playing rock. It hurt ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I have space between my devices but 3 E-Mats are magnetically attached to the two electrical panel boxes. It's good that the E-Mats have a horizontal dispersion pattern so that they don't have to be made larger and so that more are needed to cove... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I started with 6, added 4 more, then 1, then 1. Unless you have a lot of equipment or want to triple everything, maybe 12 would be a good start. I heard 12 at Frank's home the first time, then thought there was a significant drop off when he rem... | |
| Is there actually a difference? Ha Ha! Yes, imagine someone believing all speakers which measure the same sound the same. There are intangible characteristics which are not necessarily measurable that make a difference.smrex13 My experience in my large listening room with the ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I haven’t tried them under my turntable or on my speakers. However, I did place one E-Mat on top of a pair of my monoblock amps and it did not sound good even after 3 days. It covered the electronic portion rather than the transformers and tube po... | |
| Is there actually a difference? No, no, no. Amps can be level matched and sound totally different. The amps have to match the requirements of the speaker. If the amps sound the same (possibly Harbeth), then the speaker is probably an easy load. My speakers sound vastly diffe... | |
| Is there actually a difference? As a former commercial property appraiser, I appraised 17 sound studios in Southern California. Many of the studios had high end playback gear. Same with my friend Robert Pincus, record producer, who visited various major label studios. They di... |
