| Hardwood floors vs Carpet Khrys - If you think treating "first reflection" points is nonsense perhaps you should explain. There are alot of recording studios that could save money if they didn't have to use room treatments. I am seriously interested in hearing more details... | |
| Stan Warren mod Aiwa xc37m CD transport Stan Warren's Aiwa Mod is $129.00. I spoke with him about three months ago. Stan is more than willing to talk about his mods, why they work, and even make suggestions you hadn't thought to ask about. He has a power supply mod for MSB Link DAC and ... | |
| Help a Newbie I agree with Plsl, Robert Harley's book is a good place to start. What follows are generalizations and simplifications. But they may help you. Think of the CD Player as composed of two, or perhaps three, parts. The part that spins the CD and reads... | |
| experience with Sonic Horizons pc s? I bought the Hurricane Power "strip" over a year ago. Basically, it is their Hurricane PC hooked up to a four outlet box. I felt that the music was "clearer"...I guess that translates to a quieter background, better bass definition, and less noise... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Have you checked the PS Audio website (www.psaudio.com)? I can't explain the physics behind it, but perhaps the guys who developed the Power Plant can. | |
| PARADIGM REFERENCE SPEAKERS I've owned a pair of Studio 60's for over a year now. They have been driven by a Denon receiver, a NAD 2400 power amp, and B&K AV6000 multi-channel power amp. With the separates I used both a Rotel and a B&K A/V preamp. I wanted something ... | |
| TMC Cables/Interconnects worth a flip??? I used the TMC Yellow Label to connect my B&K Ref. 10 preamp to a B&K AV6000 power amp for about 4 months. Since then I have audtioned the Wireworld Equinox III+, Nordost Blue Heaven, and Audioquest Viper; all in the $150 - $199 per meter ... | |
| Help with sub for music You might try searching the Audiogon threads for "subwoofer". There has already been alot of good discussion about subs in general and some about specific models. My budget was very limited ($500) and I wanted a decent sub primarily for music but ... | |
| Coaxial or Optical To answer your question about spending more for interconnects, that depends. I wish there were an easy answer but $$$ does not necessary equate to quality. To give an example. Not too long ago I auditioned 9 or 10 power cords ranging in price from... | |
| Coaxial or Optical There has been some controversy about optical vs. coax. I'll tell you up front that I am no expert. The Company Cable recommends using optical *instead* of coax for the MSB Link DAC D/A. So does Stan Warren (I believe he is the "S" in PS Audio); I... | |
| Adcom Mods by Supermod. I don't have an address, but his phone number is 541.344.3696. | |
| Cardas Cap Panic Buying A thread was started not too long ago to discuss this very topic. If the auction you mention is sponsored by the same party as past auctions, Gthirteen answered the question (at least in part). "...if you read the fine print on the Cardas RCA Caps... | |
| cd spray tweaks? Cornfed, thanks for the response. The claims do seem extravagent. I have spoken with the folks at Mapleshade in the past and they seem reasonably intelligent and cooperative. Hopefully, they will answer your questions. | |
| cd spray tweaks? Cornfed, I have also read the information posted on Mapleshade's website. Their claims aren't much more "outrageous" than many other dealers. I have tried their vibration control devices (brass cones and weights) and find them to be effective. Qui... | |
| Upsampling/Advice on Transport Alot of good suggestions have already been made. I'll add that I have been auditioning the Aiwa changer/MSB III with upsampling combo for about two weeks now. My comparison is to a Roksan Caspian CD Player. Honestly, I'm still not sure the Aiwa/MS... |
