| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Question to those of you on this thread? Are you using the SR FEQ (or equivalent RF pulse generator) along with your SR or home build resonators? The FEQ really is essential to activate the resonators but is itself mighty sensitive to a) grounding... | |
| what to do with 1000+ CD's, many imports and live concerts As @rar1 points out the MFSLs and DCCs are the go to itemsQuick scan on Discogs of Clapton+MFSL+CD shows values of $35-100 per CD, pick of the crop is "Derek & the Dominoes - In Concert" UDCD 2-660 with a median sale price of $110In other word... | |
| what to do with 1000+ CD's, many imports and live concerts If you have the time the best tool for quick valuation is Discogs. Using their app you can scan bar codes and get a valuation on the spot. I'd then sell on eBay using very conservative (i.e. Low) prices and fixed duration sales with free shipping ... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @geoffkait the detailed explanation of why 8 accelerometers is in this paper http://www.herzan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/White-Paper-A-dynamic-antivibration-system.pdf | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? The system actually works via 8 accelerometers (4 horizontal and 4 vertical). Data from all is accessible if you have an oscilloscope handy. The rotational forces being addressed through the combination of accelerometers I presume so if anyone in ... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @geoffkait I just added a picture to my virtual system that shows the effect of running the motor. Clearly it is generating noise but most is cancelled by the isolation. Interestingly there is some "digital" residual noise albeit at a low levelint... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @geoffkait not sure I understand your question? If there's rotational energy being propagated into the platform the turntable sits on isn't that a bad thing? Don't most competent turntable designs isolate the platter from the motor anyway (in my c... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Yes expensive. But buying used you can get them for the price of a minus-k and they come up regularly from instrument sellers on eBay I'd argue that anyone with a $10k plus vinyl rig should definitely invest and some would suggest that a $5k turnt... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @geoffkait of course another solution for proper seismic isolation is an active platform. These solutions offer 90% at 3Hz and 99% at 10Hz which is enough to make a meaningful difference in the range of interest. Of course they are a little expens... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? It can be more subtle and insidious very true. I knew I had s seismic problem as I can feel the house shake with traffic but installing a solution that gets rid of it completely (at least for my turntable now it is on an active platform) was trans... | |
| The very best Sibelius recordings in analog @schubert i got mine from Brett Grant at http://www.classicrecords.co.uk/. He sold me a set of the individual original releases. He’s got good prices and excellent quality. Theres also this this set on Discogs at a good price. https://www.discogs.... | |
| Has anyone compared Synergistic XOT and XOT Carbon transducers? I upgraded to the XOT Carbon soon after it came out. On my Magico Q3s the XOTs bring a more natural and open sound. The Carbon brought a little more of the same. If you like what the XOT does then try the carbon after all it has a 30 day money bac... | |
| Paradigm Speakers @audiotroy so what relevance to this thread is your screed about class D amps? I think you've posted in the wrong place. And if you think we can't hear you - shouting isn't going to win you any friends. Finally the self important rambling about ho... | |
| The very best Sibelius recordings in analog Much as I also like the Maazel you really do need to check out Paavo Berglund and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on EMI. The original single disc issues are the best available although a little pricy as a set. The Greensleeve reissues are read... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @shadorne seems you have really never listened to a digital rig that can resolve the differences in cables. The reality is actually that cables are in some cases the limiting factor in current top end digital reproduction. My current digital rig i... |
