| Sound proofing panels and other equipment - What is the best out there right now Regarding suppression -- my system delivered close to 100% to the next door neighbors (this was in a row house constructed with an air gap between the two houses) but was still audible to the corridor adjacent and to the room above -- primarily ba... | |
| Sound proofing panels and other equipment - What is the best out there right now As others have pointed out this is both a complex and unfortunately expensive task. Traditional sound proofing routes such as room in room will not work given lack of space so the likely best option is a complete rebuild using a system such as the... | |
| Recommended Miyajima Zero Tracking Force? I have not found mine to be that fussy but definitely avoid the lower end of the range (thin and lifeless). 3.5-3.75 works well for me. | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ 5:22pmI would validate with the supplier that the device is rated for 220-240V. I have, it is | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @oregonpapa my impressions on the gate are covered in my numerous comments to this effect. From recall (now four months since the system was last live) it added more naturalness to the bass but diminished it. Much like other system clean ups that ... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @atdavid. There is diffusion all over the front wall. The narrow ASC strips are diffusive plus all the SR gizmos have diffusive effectsas to the electrical setup kind of moot as the system is now in boxes in the UK awaiting installation as part of... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ @atdavid I think there are a few more sales than that -- and in my system, with maybe a little more "up to date" speakers the Gate contributes a clearly positive improvement ... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/perfect-path-tecnologies-the-g... | |

| Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere So in the case of grounding connections to cables the same logic actually applies -- the ultimate ground should be on the same spur as the components but not the same outlet. It will work if you just plug into the power bar but it will sound bette... | |
| Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere @riverboat. The answer is No if the same power strip also has the Atmosphere plugged into it, but yes if the power strip is on a separate leg of the same duplex as the Atmosphere power supply and is shared with other components. It’s easiest to th... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? How about you embrace the instability and go with the Townsend seismic platforms? These really work to decouple the speaker from the floor and from seismic interference. They were ideal with my old Magic Q3s. The Magico Mpods world the same trick ... | |
| VTL 7.5 S3 vs Jeff Rowland Corus with PSU @carey1110 i recently upgraded to the 7.5 III from an ARC REF40. The former is far more linear, open, uncoloured and more solid state like than the ARC. The REF40 sounds “nicer” but that means it imparts a lovely tinge of space and air to everythi... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? @mijosytn. I already described the effect up thread, and on numerous other occasions in other similar threads and in my system description. My point was simply that it is not a subtle difference, whether you view it as a positive or not (and some ... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 @chakster by "dertonarm" Nandric means Dietrich Brakemeier of Acoustical Systems. All of his cartridges including the top of the range Palladian which @halcro and I both use have aluminium cantilevers and sound (to my ears at least) first rate. Co... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? @mijosyyn -- re the effect it is "slap you in the face" obvious, not at all subtle. And this in the context of my TT that has a pretty effective inbuilt suspension, and was mounted on a very high end wall shelf. @bdp24 will provide an unbiased per... |
